Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Sunoco posts $312 million quarterly loss

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:46:00 GMT

Nov. 6--Sunoco Inc. yesterday reported a $312 million third-quarter loss, a stark demonstration of how badly oil-refining profit has eroded in the year since the stock market crashed.
The Philadelphia refining and marketing company, which announced plans last month to idle its Eagle Point refinery in New Jersey, told employees this week that it would freeze pensions and post-retirement medical benefits after July 1, 2010, to cut costs.
"We continue to expect a challenging market for petroleum and chemical products due to ongoing economic weakness and additional global supply," said Lynn L. Elsenhans, Sunoco's chief executive officer.
