Well King it's official...you just don't get even what you yourself are talking about. So I can only guess at what it is you have been trying to say. It would seem that you are trying to say that the cost of producing a barrel of oil goes up with the selling price. Which, if that were true, then the profit margin this year will remain flat. Sadly it's not true. Sorry. I still stand by my "accusation". A close analysis of this years end financials will tell the tale.
