can go up without the fact that the price went up impacting the demand. So the prices of commodities vary really dramatically. Witness, as an example, crude oil prices over the last 30 years. That actually raised another question, which is maybe why you find yourself so much indoors, which is that the financial side of this industry is very interesting. I wonder to what degree as you spend time in the space, your interests shifted to the financial side. How interesting is that part of the business for you? I started really on the financial side rather than on the operating side. While all of the industry is of interest to me, I started my life as a career as a credit analyst. I was reasonably successful as a credit analyst, but in terms of employing it, necessarily, I guess you're employed indoors. You maybe are explaining an instrument to a bank. You're explaining a credit structure or a capital structure to an issuer. You're explaining the efficacy of an investment to an investor. (8/45)
