11 B profit, evidently, was not good enough. Shares of the stock went down!! I read somewhere that they are actually underperforming by sector standards, i.e. should be making more profit.

Vilifying them puts a face on the problem other than the real cause. In other words, don't blame congress or the Government for their lack of comprehensive energy policy for your misery, blame Exxon!!

Disclaimer: I have XOM shares
