July 2015Oil is tough and getting worse as the price continues to fall. Most fracking needs around $60 a barrel to continue.
July 2015
Just-reported second quarter profit reported by the three giant integrated oil companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 — Chevron (CVX), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY) — fell to $4.9 billion
Oh no, only 4.9 billion.
Jan 12, 2016
Exxon Mobil (XOM). The company is expected to report net income of $16.3 billion in calendar 2015,
Boo fucking hoo
I'm expecting the stocks to continue to plummet this week and beyond!
lol strange seeing this posted here. This is my company. Have a bunch of stock that vests in a couple weeks. This dip isn't too far out of the norm though, the stock has been floating in the 25-35 range for the last couple years.
The quarterly filing did beat the street estimate, and we still have huge margins, so not sure why the market reacted negatively. I guess lower projections for 2016.
Stocks are down about eight percent for the year. Not even a "correction" yet.
The movement pretty much started in January- not May. But again, the decline has basically been in stocks and oil and not the overall economy.
What exactly do you consider the "overall economy"?
According to Zippy, the only indicator of the economy is jobs. We could all be digging holes and filling them in and the economy would be great according to the Zipster.
Personally I don't think there's any one measurement. I look at the trade deficit, the budget deficit, GDP, stocks, wages, and also jobs and other things. Pretty much everything is down except for jobs, which is a lagging indicator.
Well, hopefully Zippy is right. Then the Fed can just enact QE4 and pay us all to spend money. We'll all have money. And we'll all have jobs. QE4 will be super awesome.
