No matter what happens in the upcoming presidential election, the Bush administration will no longer govern our great nation. In some ways that will be a very sad day for me.

When George W. Bush was sworn in as president early in this decade, I consulted my stockbroker for financial advice that would prepare me for what lay ahead.

Without hesitation, his recommendation was to buy as much Chevron (CVX) as I could get my hands on. So, I did. At that time it was trading at 31.5. Recently it closed at 95.5. For those of you who need help with the math, that is over a 300 percent gain. Now, that’s what I call performance.

I also made modest investments in Marathon Oil (MRO), First Energy Corp. (FE) and Sempra Energy (SRE), all for which had similar gains.

For some it is a burden that gasoline is priced over $3 a gallon, but for some it is not.

See ya at the pump!
