Difco, Why did you say it's interesting in many levels? In terms of profit, are its transportation and retail only a very small part of MPC? IIRC, Its SEC spinoff filling states executives have to buy 5x of their basic salaries worth of the shares within 5 years of the spinoff. One way I see it is, that could give the mgmt an incentive to depress the share price short term in order to get their shares cheap. But it appears most of them have bought their shares at high prices right after the spinoff. So, my theory doesn't hold...
