Cattle are a different commodity. According to that logic everything should be sold to make maximum profit and there should be no laws against it eg Cartel behaviour etc.From your viewpoint maybe. But how is it different from cattle for example. I buy 5 cattle and they go up and I sell them for a profit. Fair enough.
But if I buy and the price goes down I am supposed to pass good fortune onto my customer. No. I must sell my cattle for as much as I can regardless.
I am not Mother Theresa or Santa.
People have to buy fuel regardless of price. So folk aren't going to buy more petrol in say January because it was $1.50 compared to March when its $2.00. The Govt here are investigating petrol station's price gouging especially when they took 15/20 cent off in tax but many stations didn't pass that onto the customer.
