Singling out Exxon Mobil (XOM -0.8%), "it’s still not generating enough cash to cover all its cash needs," he says. "There’s a reason the stock has lagged despite its being the bluest of blue chips." http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/96135?source=feed#comment-1980867 1980867
How low must he feel he has to go to send out cheap shots, HOPING to disrupt trust in a proven guardian of investment. It is as if nothing else troubling or traumatic ever happened to this company between now and the 1920's. The only way Chanos will be made happy is if XOM suddenly changed its BOD and filled it with the likes of the jerks who pilfered Wall Street. This company is very different and always has been. And that is what irks Chanos so much.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:59:54 -0400

And just why did that happen? We could be a nation right this minute whose domestic fuel production enables us to be independent, but the environmental crazies stopped that at every turn. Nobody talks about that. Instead of lambasting and shaming a stellar company like Exxon for making a measly 9% profit (it's the volume of business that makes the big bucks), how about reflecting that maybe the overzealousness of the enviro-naziis have a huge responsibility in our current situation, and continue to do the same thing with wind and solar start-ups right now by playing the NIMBY card whenever they can.]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:29:30 -0400
