bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 When and how did I do that? http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1191158 its about time someone said it.
KD in CA Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 10% profit it the biggest profit ever? The media has you wrapped around their finger I see. Don't you know? Large = Eeeevil.
Boomer860 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Not if you're Exxon Mobil. Life is good. How much do they owe in taxes on that? Keeping in mind Obama is in favor raising gas prices. I think he said he didnt object to high gas prices just that they went up too fast. Actually my main concern is the military and Obama does not know poop from fat meat about the military.

You know, presidents have staffs that aid them in making those decisions.... I would guess you were a Bush supporter and what did he know about the military before he took office. As a matter of fact that group of people that he surrounded himself with to help him with those decisions didn't seem to have much of a clue either.
/dev/null Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Not if you're Exxon Mobil. Life is good. Yep and my parents get a couple thousand dollars in dividends to help their retirement

Do you think he wrongly trusted the efforts of the previous, 8-year Administration and members of Congress who were certainly "in the know"? http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp
erynthered Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Yep and my parents get a couple thousand dollars in dividends to help their retirement Stock holders? Whats that? <Liberal wanker>
Wacka Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 10% profit it the biggest profit ever? The media has you wrapped around their finger I see. Where's the windfall profits tax on Big Macs? McD's out performed them. They made 11% profit.
Chef Jim Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1191158 its about time someone said it. Ok, explain where in that post I said we're in a recession. I have no idea if we're in a recession.
KD in CA Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Yep and my parents get a couple thousand dollars in dividends to help their retirement I love how people like nozzlenut fail to understand who actually owns public companies and benefits from those "record" profits. I bet Mr. Exxon and Mr. Mobil are really partying tonight!
DC Tom Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 How much do they owe in taxes on that? Keeping in mind Obama is in favor raising gas prices. I think he said he didnt object to high gas prices just that they went up too fast. Nothing. That's after-tax earnings. That also includes a billion and a half from asset sales. Operating income was "only" $13 billion and change. Income taxes were eleven billion.
DC Tom Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Yep and my parents get a couple thousand dollars in dividends to help their retirement Not to mention that ExxonMobil repurchesed eight billion worth of common stock last quarter, which didn't hurt your parents' holdings any.
erynthered Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Not to mention that ExxonMobil repurchesed eight billion worth of common stock last quarter, which didn't hurt your parents' holdings any. Well, how the !@#$ is Peggy the kool aide drinker going to get her mortgage paid?
Chef Jim Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Not to mention that ExxonMobil repurchesed eight billion worth of common stock last quarter, which didn't hurt your parents' holdings any. Yeah I saw that. That's a pretty sweet move. Who was it that was trying to figure out how a company's stock appreciation helps that company? When you have eight billion in treasury stock that's how.

Hundreds of years of investment strategies are all out the door? You're an idiot.
Boomer860 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 This time?? Hundreds of years of investment strategies are all out the door? You're an idiot. Investment strategies are obsolete . Strategies are sound but the one factor no one mentions is corruption , in the private sector and at the Government level. It all comes down to , do you trust a crook with your money?

At an 11% average return over my investing lifetime? Sure.
DC Tom Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 At an 11% average return over my investing lifetime? Sure. Average historical returns are obsolete, because corruption and theft are new developments that nullify historical investment strategies.
Chef Jim Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Average historical returns are obsolete, because corruption and theft are new developments that nullify historical investment strategies. That's right because Wall Street was squeeky clean during the early part of the 20th century.
