5/24 Fishing Report - Gas Prices

[one more cast]

Hey Byron,

Those gas prices do have something to do with fishing. I am a camper/rv flyfishing traveler. It's cutting into my trips! I know that it has to be hurting tourism, and even though your business is doing very well, I'm sure it would be even better if more tourists were there. Tourists do bring money!

In response to Byron's fishing report for 5/24, there is information available to the executive compensation for the majority of the oil companies in their SEC filings. Below are some of the comp packages for the CEO's last year:

Exxon/Mobil $51.1 million in salary + $3.6 million in bonuses (CEO also received a $400 million retirement package)

Conoco/Phillips $15.1 million in salary

Chevron $31.6 million in salary

Marathon $8.5 million in salary

I don't see how that poor Marathon guy keeps a roof over his head.
