      Ike vs. Refining Capacity and Oil Price
      Unimpressed makes a great point--for the last seven years we have been conditioned by big oil that rising gas prices are not their fault: crude goes up, gas price goes up. Now crude drops more than $7.00 in the last three trading days -- yet gas price goes up! Oh, I know, w. refineries down, less available gas. BUT, refineries down represent 20% of total production, what about the other refineries running at less than full capacity?

      Exxon did not exit retail gas business because of alleged slim margins -- me thinks left business because of PR associated w. $4.00 gas sign next to ExxonMobil name at pump!

      Will Quicksilver Continue to Benefit from High Energy Prices?
      Management tacitly acknowledged on the earnings call that it has identified potentially attractive other resource plays, but had no additional comment. The company is discreetly acquiring large contiguous leases on other unconventional onshore locations.

      Exxon's Record Taxes, Capital and Exploration Spending in Perspective
      the 7.8% decline in production reflects — in large part — state expropriation of company assets in Venezuela, labor strike and civil unrest in Nigeria, lower entitlement contracts (which require the company to concede more production to certain foreign partners in step with higher crude prices), and mature-field output declines. Given growing global restrictions on access to productive reserves, is $8.8 billion stock buyback the most prudent expenditure?
