Here is a link to an article which I wrote for NROfn, the financial section of the online edition of National Review magazine. It shows that in the year running up to the initiation of Operation Iraqi Freedom, oil company stock prices actually fell relative to general stock indicies like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In fact large oil and gas companies lost in aggregate over 122 billion dollars. Click [a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/nrof_buzzcharts/bowyer032003.asp"]here[/a]to see the entire article.
