Goodyear Illustrates What Oil Companies Might Expect

So, where is the anaylsis supporting the conclusion that a tire manufacturer's financial and operating experience could in any way be a predictor for "Oil Companies?" (Whatever in the hell an "Oil Company" is - is this a vertically integrated major; or an upstream independant - if so, one focused primarily on domestic natural gas, or domestic/international oil?). Did Goodyear hedge its forward production at higher prices than current market? I hope your knowledge of the rubber industry is more complete than your knowledge of the Oil and Gas industry.
