Interested in boycotting gas?

It always makes me laugh when this topic comes up. No-one will ever be able to mount a large enough boycott to really hurt any of the oil companies. People will complain but when push comes to shove, they won't do anthing (Leaf nation - sound familiar?). To all those pushing for a boycott I say, buy some shares. If you really want to make a statement, get enough like minded share holders together and raise a stink at the annual meeting. If that doesn't work, enjoy the growth of your investment. :cool:

Well said (except the stuff about the leafs- that too is out of our control)
I just shake my head when I read about those who complain about the price of gas & the oil companies
1. It is a world wide commodity and prices are driven by supply & demand - Oh by the way, if you want to drive you will be part of the demand - if you don't like it, walk
2. The oil companies spend billions to find oil & there are huge risks & they need a return on the investment. Try drilling on the north sloop of Alaska or in the North Sea only to find it is a dry hole. Investing in oil companies is the best way to hedge your risk against high gas prices
