Seems like there was a lot of build up and hype over not a lot of action.

“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We’re so glad you could attend; come inside, come inside.” Layoffs are once again an integral part of COP business strategy. Just tired.

Sounds like next week will be brutal. Lots of merging functions.

I can almost assuredly say that we will soon start buying things once oil goes above 80-90. This will accumulate enough stuff to sell when oil goes back to 30-40 at expense of enormous loss and layoffs. I like this strategy and reminds me of Michelle... — read more
