Yeah, yeah, I know. (I'm just ranting) It's all about the investors who buy and sell on the open market. I guess one could relate the oil cmpanies themselves as farmers harvesting a crop. They just harvest the crop and take it to distribution for sale. The going price, is what they get paid. Sucks though, because as a mechanic/engineer, when I hear about operators like me, but with only a High School education, making $120,000/year entry-level salaries in the oil patch up in Northern Alberta, I shake my head. All those kids do, is drink it away at the local pub. Sad, truly sad.
