So last year British Petroleum made more profit than it ever had. This is it make the second highest profit it ever had. 1. How can it give back "increase returns to investors" by buying back shares of it's own stock? 2. How is it that with Crude Oil is short supply jacking up it's price, BP has been making a fortune selling fuel made from Crude Oil? (Take your best guess) (Keep in mind BP buys and refines Crude into other products)
