There are some reasons investors are downbeat on Exxon's shares,
like falling production and
peers catching up to its typically industry - leading return on capital employed metrics, but management has plans
to improve results.
It might even lead
to less Easter - Island - statue -
like behaviour by Sprog 1 around her
peers, while Sprog 2 may learn
to be less bossy on playdates so kids feel less intimidated about returning... as for me, I'm hoping
to develop friendships — and not just with the school mums — that aren't just squeezed into a 2 - 3 hour
catch -
up every six months or so, or don't rely on telling crazy stories
to win people's hearts.
