Who know’s, they could be right - IBM’s shares did go higher. Also reported was that there first quarter net income rose 26 percent. Which if you like to know is about $1.65 per share.
Oil Tops $115
Today oil prices have top the $115 mark and will only get higher. This is all being based on everyone’s big concerns on how much gas we will have for the summer months. The demand for gas has been falling - because we’ve been driving less. I really don’t see any slowing down in the near future. Now for diesel fuel, which rose a cent to a new high of $4.129 a gallon. I’m just so sick and tierd over these crazy and make no since increases in the prices. Since our Gov. loves to put their hands in our everyday lives they need to hurry up and stop these big oil companies from milking us of all of our money.
