The conclusion of the article: > Is there a bet here? Root for the Italians if you're like me. > Wouldn't it be fun if they were right? But if you're an > investor, go long oil; buy Exxon [NYSE:XOM], Schlumberger > [NYSE:SLB], Transocean [NYSE:RIG] ... you know the list. So, the Forbes writer, in the end, hedges his bets. (I guess If I were in his shoes I would do the same.) When one bets, one is essentially betting on the reputation of their Ego. They are betting on an illusion that they actually know what they are talking about. In the end the amount of betting, for or against, will not matter a hoot - certainly not to one's Ego. Lately, I've had long talks with my Ego. I think my Ego (and "me") are finally beginning to understand each other - particularly the fact that most of the time we are clueless. But that's ok. Let Joe Six Pack continue to bet on Oil. Meanwhile I hope Joe Public will simply wait and see what develops. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
