Exxon earned $114 million per day in the second quarter. That's $79,000 per minute or $1,300 per second.


ExxonMobil (XOM, news, msgs) earned more than $10 billion in the second quarter as high oil prices continue to swell the bottom lines of big oil companies.

So, the nest time you go to the pump, you will know how much you are really getting PUMPED!!!

$1,300 per second..

I don't like to think about it because I feel helpless.

By the way, that movie in your avatar was terrrrrrrrrrrible!!!!

That's about what I make selling windchimes at the Ren Faire.

Sincerely,

Rack Exxon shareholders.

I wonder how much "the war" is costing us per second , or hour. Seems like I figured once, in the 70's, when I was draftable, that the Viet Nam war cost about 2 mil per day. What a deal by today's standards.

Your Fruedian slip there, (nesttime) might refer to your nest egg IRA or 401k. Are you invested in the oil companies?

There's a dilema for ya.


And rack Patsy. It does cause a feeling of helpless.

Roach, Are you are Psychologist?? Catching the Freudian slip!! (I'm impressed!!)
Yes, I have stock in XOM and it's done well but the stock is not making anywhere near the gains that the company is making.

In other words, my $5,000 invested 10 years ago is worth about $20,000.

It would have been wiser to invest in Apple Computer (up 1200 % in 3 yrs vs XOM up 300% in 10 years). I still haven't put any money in AAPL. :x :cry:

and yes, Gas Prices make me feel helpless because I still drive and still heat my house.

but Imagine, a company making a profit of $1300/ second!!

Congress has been urging the big oil companies to put more of their profits toward boosting the supply of energy for consumers.

Wait, there is the joke of the year!!!

Can anyone top that joke???

As of May 2006, based on a total cost to date of $316 billion, the war in iraq is costing US taxpayers:

Per Hour $10.18 million
Per minute $180,000
Per second $3000

These costs are expected to rise as time goes on.

how come you guys never bitch about the tax on gas never decreasing? why doesn't Congress work on that?

GMAFB. btw, how much of that profit was from international sales? that's good for America, tools.
