Halliburton (ticker symbol HAL on the NYSE) is VERY active in Iraq.
They hire Americans starting at about $80K to work there (it's very dangerous).
They deliver the mail to our troops.
Yes, it's Halliburton that gets the kids cards to the troops for Christmas.
They also make HUGE profits on energy investments,
and the great news is that we can too,
if we want to purchase shares of HAL (under $35 per share).
But, investing is risky, stocks can and do tumble.
Shares of HAL sit in most people's 401K's.
The so-called "evil" people that own Halliburton are our teachers, postal workers, police officers and neighbors.
Does Cheney own shares ? I'd bet he still does.
Politics are ugly if people in power try to make profits for themselves.
