The Oil Business Could Be Worse (But Not Much) [View article]
With Q1-09 profits down 65% from Q1-08 profits, does this mean CVX is only 1/3 the company it was last year? No. It also does not mean that CVX will be twice the company next year, when Q1-10 profits are up 100% over Q1-09 profits. It's an illogical market and a chance to make money whenever the market is over-pessimistic or over-exuberant. IMHO, there is still plenty of room to make money in CVX if you get in on any pullback and you get a nice dividend while you wait a year or two.
