Exxon posts $36.1 billion in profits, highest in U.S. history
The Seattle Times reports here: "Exxon Mobil reported Monday it earned more money in 2005 than any company, any year, ever. But the Texas oil company isn’t bragging. Exxon took out advertisements in newspapers Monday to say its profit is relatively moderate — an unusual step for any company focused on keeping investors happy." Just think about it next time you fill up your car.
