Investing 102

[glassman]

Whats funny (and sad) is i'm a stockholder in CVX and while it adjusts (declines), I'm paying almost the highest i've ever paid for gas (and yes, i buy it at Chevron, i'm paying myself a little by doing that).

I'm not sure, but in the gas companies play, the taxes here in Kilifornia are a great contributor to the higher per gallon prices, and theres lines at the pumps in my region....weird.

Is it suprise and "duh-mend"? or supply and demand? cant remember...

Looking at this from a consumer perspective, I find that Chevron is usually significantly more expensive than conpetitors with no perceived (by me) difference in quality. This is the problem with choosing a company that deals in a commoditized product. When I look at CVX, I'm not inclined to think they have a competitive advantage.
