re: OTOH if there is nothing wrong with having such a margin why bother with the whole serious of replies you made to a post on that subject. If its ok for XOM to have 11.8% profit margin, or the industry to have 10% profit margin, why even bother with the Kroger comparison? Wrong depends on perspective. Wrong, really isn't an answer to the question. You said you didn't see it as wrong, are you now saying you do? 18% operating margin is pretty extraordinary for a commodity company. Not quite so extraordinary for the top company in the industry, when the industry is highly cyclical, and is now enjoying one of its best years. 18% operating margin would be exceptional for a company selling a commodity in a stable industry, or as the overall average in a cyclical industry, but not in the best of times in a highly cyclical industry. The Congress is already working on repeal of their subsidies Good, lets hope it gets some where.
