Sure is filtering down thru the cyclical side of the economy, fertilizer, steel, plastics, aluminum, etc.
Really most industrial compamies are really passing on the increases to consumers.

Well it has got to worry you some. Civilization uses an enormous amount of this non-renewable resource every day and ALL of the future supply is based on hopes and projections. The tap COULD run dry any day, and THEN what?
But I don't expect anything to be done until the crisis hits.
Years ago when the wife and I were thinking about moving to Tampa, we subscribed to the Tampa Tribune and had it sent to us up in Maryland. One day there was a really interested article published in that paper where someone had dug into the financials of all of the members of Congress. Guess what? Nearly all of them were stock holders in the various and sundry oil companies! Would you REALLY expect them to vote in a manner that would reduce the value of their stock holdings? I don't think so..........

By the way ZACH, how did you quote only 1 line out of the whole statement in your post #10? I can only quote the whole thing, and not just a point I would be commenting to.

Hey Rocket, if I may answer for Zach. Highlight the line you want to quote, go to the little page looking thingy at the top of the "Reply to Tread" box. It sits next to the "Insert Image" thingy. When you click on it, the curser will be flashing between the words "Quote" in your message. Just right click and paste.............Tom

Learned something new. I usually just quote the whole thing, then delete what I don't want to quote.
