An earlier report this week when ExxonMobil stock was up 5%, rough calculations showed that Exxon's value had increased by about $20 billion this week. This is on top of record profits by the top five oil companies every quarter for about the last two years. What are the odds that they will cut their margins and freeze their prices during this time of national need? Un-huh. Thought so. Wes Wada Bend, Oregon
