Wahooo!!!
 

Price of gas this morning:

http://tinyurl.com/99oxv

It was down another penny this afternoon.

The trend shows the price going down..........down........down.

Bush got blamed for the spike in gasoline prices after Katrina (because of
damage to the refineries) so I guess he has to get credit for the
$1.10/gallon drop in prices since late summer.

Thanks George!

Wahooo!!!

Since you weren't doing the blaming, why should you get to do the
thanking?

I neither blamed him nor will I thank him.

It was his buddies who got the golden egg not george. It was george who
made certain no one was guarding the door when the egg got stolen.

If oil companies are making so much money, why is the stock (EXXON) at a P/E
of around 10? The average for the New York Exchange is about 17. CVX is 9.

Wahooo!!!

and Iraq, the economy, world opinion, human rights, the environment, the
deficit, ethics, women's rights. you name it. What a leader..

Two paragraphs:

On Friday Chevron (Research) became the latest big oil company to
report a jump in profits for the third quarter, a day after Exxon Mobil
(Research), the nation's biggest oil company, reported $9.9 billion in
net earnings -- the biggest corporate profit on record.

All told, the 19 oil and gas companies in the Standard & Poor's 500
index that have reported so far have earned more than $20 billion
excluding one-time charges and other items, up more than 50 percent
from a year earlier, according to earnings tracker First Call.

Wahooo!!!

The trouble is, the right wing just can't seem to realize that the drop
in gas prices since late summer is actually wrongly attributed to LOWER
GAS PRICES. They don't know enough to take a look at the gas prices
during the last year or two, and factoring in inflation, see that there
was a huge net increase.

Wahooo!!!

I did not dispute the earnings. I asked if they are such money machines,
why is their P/E about 1/2 the average for the NYSE. And since I have a
large amount of oil company stocks in my portfolio, I hope they keep sending
me nice checks.

Wahooo!!!

But they have not been at the average for a long time. Oil is a volatile
commodity.
