Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
Henry Ford

Stable energy prices and enhanced national security will only come when we increase domestic energy resources, which was accomplished today with the opening of ANWR.
Kenny Marchant

Thomas Sowell

Tell me, what do they do for us in Bulgaria? Do they fix the prices? Or is there some kind of a free market?
Dwayne Andreas

That is - the reason for that is that home prices are only going to go up. Now, they've never gone down nationwide in our - since we've been keeping track of this.
