"WHY DIDNT WE TAKE THE OIL IN THE FIRST GULF WAR"?

If I make a living selling watermelons, would I like the price of watermelons to go up or go down?
Watermelons have really gone up in my state, how about yours?
If I had some watermelons to sell right now I could sure make a killing.
The fact is that watermelon venders are racking it in, .... hasn't anyone else noticed this?

It depends. If the price goes up, I make more profit per watermelon but I sell fewer of them. If the price goes down, I make less profit per watermelon but I sell more of them.

Maybe you should develop this thesis a little more for those of us who aren't as intellectually superior and preternaturally intuitive as you are.
