- Bad - 4Q08 revenue down 17.3% due to lower oil price, EPS down from $2.75 to ($21.37);
- Good - Excluded E&P goodwill & impairment write down, 4q08 EPS is in fact $0.49 or down 82% instead of a deep loss;
- Good - 2008 revenue up 27.7% due to higher oil price, EPS down from $7.32 to ($11.16), but excluded the one time adjustments, 08 EPS is in fact $10.7 or up 46%, meet my expectation.
Oil price down a lot since July 15/08 from US$146/bbl peak to +/-US$35/bbl, analysts are waiting for OPEC to announce # of output cut in order to evaluate what is the reasonable price should be in 09 & 10.
