To suggest that BP did this on purpose is crazy talk. Do you actualy think BP would commit suicide for 1% and change of their float? Just so Goldman would not lose money?

Many traders went short the day of the accident. Since that day they have almost doubled their investment. Maybe they blew up the rig.

I was one of them. Maybe I blew up the rig.

I'm sure Goldman has made a ton of money off this mess. Maybe they blew it up.

See what I am saying? In any large event people make money and lose money. Just the way it is.

Cap and trade will not happen any time soon. I do expect a carbon tax proposal soon though.
Lol, alrighty hun! Keep telling yourself that, and see how it works for you:thumbsup:

You said it yourself that you "Do nothing. And do it well. Watch the world go by."

Yet, I'm in left field looking for daisies. That was good.:clap:
