Drop in Gas Price = $300B Savings

Mark,

How can this be? Don't the evil oil companies conspire to keep prices high? Could it be that once again our friends in Congress lied to us about supposed price gouging? Tell me it isn't true, tell me that free markets don't really work.

Your pal, Uncle Frank

Exxon's Record Taxes, Capital and Exploration Spending in Perspective

While checking GE's numbers, readers should also take a look at Pfizer and Microsoft. Another one that I find amusing is News Corp (NWS-A), Mr. O'Reilly's employer. They are currently showing a 16.2% profit margin which is far better than the oil companies that moron demonizes.

Oil Company Economics

". . . suppose your inventory contains some gasoline made from $140-a-barrel oil and some that was purchased for $75 a barrel. That leaves a lot of room for price manipulation."

Crude oil was last priced at $75 per barrel in the September 2007 timeframe. Could you provide crude oil inventory turnover data that would give the reader a more realistic idea of what this scenario might actually look like? I seriously doubt that under any circumstance would it take 10 months for a refiner to turn its crude oil inventory. A refinery processing 200,000 BPD would have to have storage tank capacity of 60 million barrels.

Exxon Mobil: The Root of all Evil?

Are there companies that are more "evil" than Exxon-Mobil? How about this sampling of current profit margins - Microsoft - 29.3%, Pfizer - 16.8%, Bank of America - 25.9%, Coca Cola - 20.7%, Johnson & Johnson - 17.3%, Intel - 18.2%, Google - 25.3%. Perhaps the most "evil" of all corporations is Wal-Mart with a profit margin of only 3.4%. Ninety-five per cent of all Americans have no clue as to how this country works. They do not understand capitalism and yet they are permitted to vote in our elections.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
