Default Re: how do i actually buy oil

find companies that will be effected some time down the road from high energy costs. not ones in the news or ones every one can figure out. then take the appropriate position

for instance, 3m company and rubbermaid. they make alot of products with oil. so their cost of goods will increase at some point and will have to raise prices which lowers profits. its up to you to figure at what point in time this may take place if at all.
a big one is tires. prices must rise. people will buy less or cheaper ones. two sides of the coin to play here. short who makes toyo or michilin and buy cooper.
large trucks stop selling. so short chevy and buy toyota.

people will travel less. so buy movie rental companies, internet companies.
more money for ups or fed ex as it makes more sense to send it than bring it.

get the picture.

but the big band for your buck comes from the smaller companies you find that their results will be most affected by the change.
