Probably Soarass just recognizing the next POTUS likely to reverse Ø’s/his efforts of the last 7 years, so why not profit from that. Too.

Socialists like 0bama hate crony capitalism, unless it benefits them, then it’s OK to do!
I scratched your back, it’s time for my full-body massage.

President Obama laid out his new plan to tackle global warming Tuesday. In 2008, he made comments about bankrupting coal plant owners and making energy prices skyrocket.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; its just that it will bankrupt them, because theyre going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas thats being emitted, Obama said during a meeting with the San Francisco Chronicles editorial board.
Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, he added. Because Im capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to, uh, retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers. ...
Excellent point, this is publicly traded stocks so anybody is free to join the party.
Once Obama is out it will be interested to see what investments someone was doing for him while he was in office.
I'm surprised someone hasn't put some Uranium in his coffee.
Precisely. Especially since O is trying to close nuclear plants.
I’m sure the Obama family will live like potentates for decades to come.
Just the take on POTUS pardons should be stunning.
Insider trading!
Obunga clues Soros that he’s going to drive down coal mine stocks; get ready to buy. Soros, on the strength of that tip, puts in a buy order for XXX shares at $X.XX price.
You post stuff like this, yet you are a loyal defender/supporter of KGB Putin. Just trying to build credibility with some of us, huh?
If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. Its just that it will bankrupt them, Obama said, responding to a question about his cap-and-trade plan. He later added, Under my plan electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
Of course, cap and trade is long dead. But coal-fired power plants are powering down nationwide, and they are blaming the Obama Environmental Protection Agency. The presidents critics say proposed greenhouse gas regulations for future power plants are designed to cripple the coal industry.
And just like with another 2008 quote Energy Secretary Steven Chus famed call to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe Republicans say the Chronicle clip shows whats really in the presidents heart, that high electricity prices and the death of coal have always been Obamas goal.

Maxine Waters warns Shell president in House committee hearing
Posted: May 23, 2008
2008 WorldNetDaily
A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com (Must see video! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=maxine+waters+socialize) , showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.
Hofmeister replied: "I can guarantee to the American people, because of the inaction of the United States Congress, ever-increasing prices unless the demand comes down."
The Shell exec said paying $5 at the pump "will look like a very low price in the years to come if we are prohibited from finding new reserves, new opportunities to increase supplies."
Waters responded, in part, "And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing uh, um..."
The congresswoman paused to collect her thoughts [for about 5-6 seconds this went on, while her colleagues behind her laughed].
"...would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies..."
The oil executives responded, according to Fox News, by saying they've seen this before, in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.

If algore was really concerned about global warming, he would be living in a modest 3500 sq. ft. mansion, and flying commercial.
It is good to be King.
