Hypertiger Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Panic anyone!-Global TV in Canada reports that Rummy will transfer 20,000 to 30,000 troops garrisoned in South Korea to Iraq and will extend the service times of Troops in Iraq particularily the Marines. Now the biggest danger to the world is the North Korean wing nut with Nuclear weapons when he see's most of the U.S. forces leaving -he may well see a path to Seoul-bear in mind N. Korea have an army of 1 million and I doubt the Americans leaving will make South korea happy. The screwup just gets worse-doesn't it. On another topic Gas up here hit an all time high today of 99.9 a liter roughly a little over $3.- @ gallon Canadian so we are going stroke for stroke with you guys-the bad news is our Oil comes from here our own country and in most cases our own Province-so what it says is demand very much exceeds supply, if I was an American the good news would be that the flow from Canada could be counted on to continue but the bad news is the flow from off shore cannot be counted on anymore-that scares the Shit out of me! That works out to $5.29 US a gallon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfusedAssRev1 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I asked K-Wave last night about oil and gas. He said they were toppy and might want to reduce position if overweight. The problem I have is that if infrastructure in the Middle Ease is successfully attacked, you won't be able to get back in. So, I maintain a core position. Am I missing something here? TIA.

Butterfield 8 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Maybe if we get a 1987ish crash all stocks fall including energy - on the assumption we have slower growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US retail prices of Gasoline have 40% tax added on average... Wholesale Gasoline in the US is $1.35 a Gallon. The tax on Canadian Gasoline works out to 50 million a day...More than half of that goes to the Federal Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
