Nak, I don't know of anyone saying all this is "no big deal". It is a more correct and verifiable "FACT" that you can come up with a wide range of S&P/IOC comparisons, and also various different cause/responsibility assignments, by picking different one-year or other time frames, a useless game. Probably most importantly, however, it was not Hession who created expectations of a lucrative higher-priced deal with Exxon, followed by a weak market in early 2014. I guess it's understandable still having whining at a very high level, although the 60s sure beats the 40s, but let's try to evaluate things objectively and properly, rather than just mostly vetting our frustrations.
If we get a dry hole, I wonder whether we'll have whining at new highs, or less of both shareholders and whining? I don't think we'll find out; I sure hope not!
