Hi Ron ..

In terms of gross dollars in profit your list
is correct .. I was thinking profit margin ..
To me the "most profitable" businesses would
be those with the highest profit margins ..
ie the ability to convert the highest percentage
of each sales dollar to net income ..
XOM's profit margin is ~11% which is near
historic highs for the oil business ..

Triff ..
