Hi,

Just got this link.

It outlines the fact that oil companies have made anywhere between 100% and 300% profits over last year. I don't know about you but a couple of things stand out for me:

1. How can so much money be made when oil prices have been so high/fluctuated so much?

2. Does the consumer see any of this (I haven't)?

3. How can companies make such huge profits? I can't recall seeing such large increases in other sectors?

Cheers,

Andy
