Oil stocks My favorite oil stock MRO is back at where I bought it - 24$ after a blowout earnings of 1.18$/share per quarter.This would yield a annual P/E of about 5. Even in the new economy,this doesn't feel right. MRO had a pretty weak upstream production numbers last quarter. With the Petronius platform producing and the Russian Sachalin field swapped for producing North Sea oil fields, the next quarter should be very good as well.

I have a LoosyAnna bumper sticker... It's been a while since Texas came up with anything like the banana republic extremes of Edwards v. Duke. All I can say in feeble defense is that we don't produce more odious politicians than we can consume locally, and that one of our Senators is a treat for the eyes. We may look back on the honest zaniness of the lizard and Wizard with nostalgia, given the synthetic bunch we've got now. I think if the polls showed an upsurge of Marxism in some key voting group, Bush would call for a "compassionate class struggle" and Gore would promise a blue ribbon panel to study the ownership of the means of production. Is it me, or was the Barron's this week unusually gloomy? It seemed like every article was advice on how to survive an economic nuclear winter. And Birinyi in Forbes was talking about Avon and Sears. Avon? Nothing he mentioned had been anywhere near an electron. --George Acton
