    In reply to Exxon Mobil Posts Record $45.2 Billion Profit In 2008
    no need to bet...2009 will look more like the days of yore...no more 14b quarters...but with ~35b in cash the real story will be where they go from acquisition standpoint. Allot 7b for ongoing buyback and still leaves room for sizable acquisition, though traditionally they stay away until a useful company is heavily depressed.


    As you said Q4 tells the story though I'm sure the drooling barney frank's of the world will use the full yr headline to fire up some rhetoric. Meanwhile his ilk should be focusing on the companies that don't know what they're doing, not the ones that do.

    @Who's Cartwright?: It started already their Q4 earnings were just released, down 33%. Which isn't too bad considering crude futures are down over 50%.

    Just thinking out loud: I wonder how much was inventory profits (appreciation on stockpiles) due to the quick runup in crude prices last summer. Based on their 4Q, I bet this year hurts a lot more.

    Possibly the shortest post ever.


    Did anyone expect good news in the earnings calls for Ford or GM? If so I'd like some of what they're smoking.


    I work for an OEM supplier and we're laying off people like crazy right and getting pay cuts across the board to "right size" the company to match the production numbers. I really like the automotive industry but this downturn is making me debate going into consulting.

    @acarr260: "Possibly the shortest post ever." Without the picture on the left you almost miss it entirely. Maybe they should come up with a new term. "Earnings" doesn't quite describe what we are seeing these days.

    Selling Hummer... let's see, your company is failing so you want to sell off your weakest brands and operations? Oh yeah, I'll give you ten billion for that.


    Are they actually asking for real money for Hummer? I seem to remember the price of MG Rover being 1 pound, with cash thrown in.

    My big concern is that GM is being so arrogant about this. They have the "too big to fail" mentality I've seen so much of on Wall Street lately. "Well, we don't need to worry about doing a good job, the government will just prop us up so we don't take the whole rest of the economy down with us." So you get billions from the taxpayers. Then what? Are you going to start making cars that you can, I don't know, sell?


    No? Okay, FOAD then.

    As my friend likes to call GM, "Generic Metal" made their bed so let them sleep in it.


    Stupid people get what they deserve and they were dumber than a bag of hammers.


    Even the good companies like Toyota and Honda are taking it in the teeth but they're much better prepared for the future and the present.


    I feel no pity for poorly run companies.

    GM going under will directly put close to 500,000 out of work.

    Shares of Toyota plunged as much as 13 percent on Friday after the carmaker warned that its profits this year would hit a 13-year low amid the global economic downturn.
