I don't have any specific information that I can render but I am aware of some recent lift truck sales to service providers in several south american countries and I can render an "opinion" that those sales and other transactions will grow exponentially during the current administration. I am personally aware of two deep water exploration rigs that have already left U.S. waters and will probably never return. (both went to south america) If I were a wealthy man I would put all of my money in south american oil development. Between the current administration's deep seeded desire to punish the south for its lack of support and the EXTREME influence of the environmental groups in this country oil, refining, olefins or any other by product (s) of crude are soon to be a memory in the United States. While this has and will continue to have an impact on me and a profound effect on many of my freinds (and enemies) I am open minded and will cede the possibility that when all is said and done the net effect may be positive but I can't for the life of me see how. Just an "opinion".
GOD bless Phil Harris free enterprise!!!
