If the CEO's of these companies were able to turn a healthy profit for their companies then I hope they got good retirement packages. They deserve it for doing a successful job.

Earlier you asked if any American could have purchased stock in oil. No not all Americans, but yes a vast majority of Americans could have purchased stock.

As for your comment about the C.E.O.'s. Technically the CEO's didn't do anything right? Market forces and all that. So why did the CEO's get huge bonuses for their performance? They had no control over sky high oil prices. Unless of course we take into account the closed door meetings that oil execs had with members of the White House.
