I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

Farms and ranches contend with much more than quarterly reports and profit margins - the weather can wreak havoc on their quality of life and economic viability. When natural disasters strike, we must do all we can to assist the backbone of our economy.

Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
We've grown from 18% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry to 23% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry over the last five years. Profits are up over 70%, where the industry profit is up about 35%. Pretty good.

The Dead Heart
We dont serve your country
Dont serve your king
Know your custom dont speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We dont serve your country
Dont serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We dont need protection
Dont need your land
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen well understand
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things
The dead heart lives here

All told, these profit levels have put the world's five largest publicly traded oil companies on track to earn more than $100 billion before year's end. Yet, at the same time that Big Oil's bottom line is going up, so are Americans' energy costs.

One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.

I must swindle.
Hospitals are run for a profit.
Colleges are run for a profit.
Temples are run for a profit.
I must swindle to pay them.

Corporate Balance Sheet
Again the last year
was massing maximum
bean counter wealth
profit driven accountability
has no morality
no loyalty no stealth
multinational companies
buy sell strip assets
new balance sheet to sow
entire bought out companies
all staff shot down
like ducks all in a row
the loyal worker
giving a lifetime
to one employer
credit balance
does not show
the old the aged
in buy out merger
have no life preserver
debit carried
no pack your bags go
country after country
feels these reforms
cold bankers toe
before a cry for freedom
from oppression
manipulation by corporate
global countries exploitation
means ruin
paid proof
maximization?

Ill Be There
(words & music by bobby darin)
Ill be there when all your dreams are broken
To answer your unspoken prayer, oh....
When the little things youre doin, ooh, dont turn out right
Dont you worry darlin Ill be there
There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!
So if your new love isnt your true love
Dont you worry darlin, Ill be there
There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!
So if your new love isnt your true love
Dont you worry darlin, Ill be there
Dont you worry darlin, Ill be there
Dont you worry darlin, Ill be there

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I'm cool with, I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.
