LOL - "better positioned" than an internet company? Yeah, who would have thought that getting into the energy business was probably a step too far for an internet search engine?

Money doesnt know where its invested. They got out because they realized it was a bad investment, not because they dont have enough experience. At some point you have to believe the figures, not the political spin.
