re: But how is 10% profit margin, during the good times in a cyclical industry gouging?

Actually the TTM PM is 11.65%; operating margin is 18%.

re: Which is more of a reason to go after MSFT rather than the oil companies.

Why not compare to grocery store margins instead of the obscene margins of a monopoly software company. That's like a boxing match between 5 year old girl and an 18 year old golden gloves champion.

XOM is in a commodity business which by nature is low margin.
