FORTY percent -

Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, reported on Thursday that second-quarter income rose 14 percent, to $11.68 billion, the highest-ever for an American company.

Revenue rose 40 percent, to $138.1 billion, from $98.4 billion in the quarter a year ago.

This seems to defy any rational explanation. At least to me.
