what does exxon care? it was just their way to get oil to the residents of play flower as quickly as possible. not really. but the satire of it's exxon's oil and we're just living in it, sorry about that crude in your backyard, but the spoof seems to work because of the attitude of exxon in mayflower and the extent to which this ginormous multi-national corporation exxon is taking control of not just the spill, in a lot of ways, what is going on in this tiny arkansas town, pushing everybody aside. three days after the spill, 120 exxon workers descended on the town, a number eventually went to 600 across the country including company doctors, communications specialists and wildlife experts. company doctors. actual doctors sent to the town by exxon. quote, when eight students who were vomiting and complaining of headaches were sent home from mayflower elementary school the monday morning after the spill, an exxonmobil doctor arrived quickly on the scene. the doctor quelled concerns about the air quality arou

continues to clean up from last week's tar sands oil spill there are new questions surrounding the exxon mobil's handling of the spill why is the oil giant preventing media coverage of the spill and they knowingly let oil contaminate local wetlands and conservatives hate government regulations and constantly argue that the federal government needs to have a smaller role in a capitalist society is that really the case or do we need to put more regulations in place to protect our economy and overall wellbeing. and we begin tonight with margaret thatcher the former prime minister of the u.k. for eleven years in the only female prime minister in that nation's history she died today of a stroke at age eighty seven in the past fifty years of british politics there was no leader more divisive and more transformative than margaret thatcher after the devastation of world war two the u.k. like many western european nations and like the united states came together and brace progressivism encourage unionization strengthen the social safety net tame the ruling elite with high taxation on the wealthy

this one owned by exxon mobil. it bursts out of nowhere and dumps oil into the previously pristine yellowstone river. even though another oil company shut down their pipeline in the area because of that warning, exxon decided to keep theirs running. this is the result. july, 2011. now, today, mayflower, arkansas, swrus outside arkansas. it's friday afternoon and by now, you know the drill. it starts with boom. >> so, that is a pipeline that has busted and has flooded the neighborhood and is going all the way to the drain at the end of the street. luckily, our house is here, but the smell is unbelievable. i mean, look. that is oil. >> lots and lots of oil. on friday afternoon, another pipeline, an exxon mobil pipeline, this one carrying between illinois and texas, ruptured underground. it sent a thick stream of crude oil everywhere. dozens of residents have been evacuated indefinitely. it's now encroaching toward lake conway, a local source of drinking water. so far, the oil company says 12,000 barrels of oil contam

pegasus pipeline burst spilling nearly five thousand barrels of oil into the community exxon is now sinking corina money that is the company recently announced that it is willing to buy the ten to twenty two homes that were directly impacted by the spill plus offer a few thousand dollars extra on the side for moving out and any other expenses incurred it's all part of the compensation package the company offered residents caught in the catastrophe now to give you an idea of how much this will actually set the company back the average home in mayflower before the oil spill cost a little under one hundred five thousand dollars according to real estate website zillow so even if exxon pays that amount for all twenty two evacuated homes that still only amounts to two point three million dollars or thereabouts so it would take exxon mobil under one half an hour to regain that money back so that's essentially by the end of this broadcast but that's just the cost of the homes themselves and not actually the cleanup so what is exxon mobil planning on doing with these properties well probably

exxon mobil is naturally trying to downplay environmental concerns they're not saying exactly how much oil spilled onto the streets of that neighborhood in arkansas put the company says it has already collected more than twelve thousand barrels of oil mixed with water from the affected area not clear how much of it was water though twenty two homes were evacuated there as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crudes to the south of the u.s. to the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline the keystone x.l. pipeline would carry eight hundred thousand barrels per day just to compare the pipe that leaked in arkansas can carry around ninety thousand barrels a day so the consequences of a leak could be devastating the keystone pipeline would also carry canadian heavy crudes to u.s. refineries in the south the project doesn't have the final green light from the administration just yet but the oil giants involved are pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with it saying it will bri

exxon mobil one of the most profitable companies in the world that regularly pays no u.s. income tax at a pretty horrible tar sands oil spill in arkansas last month most people have heard bits and pieces of the story but here's what you probably haven't heard from the corporate media first off you got a glimpse of the pipeline rupture and spill because of citizen bloggers and journalists like drew barnes who posted this on you tube but you haven't seen much coverage from the air of this happy that's because just like with the b.p. halliburton blowout in the gulf the f.a.a. imposed a no fly zone over the oil spill you are not allowed to see what's going on exxon mobil has even hired local police for security and they're doing a pretty good job of keeping reporters away according mother jones reporting the documented numerous instances of people being threatened with arrest for just trying to ask questions or take pictures on site. second with all the money and profits from that oil pipeline exxon mobil doesn't have to pay into the federal fund a clean up oil disasters inclu

the stock to look at here is exxon. exxon has been stuck in a range as well between $86 and $92 since september. a tight range for a big company like that. so that target's $98 on the upside on a breakout. > > what's you options play here? > > looking at options that have limited risk and plenty of time to have some staying power. i'm looking at the january 80 strike. it's an in the money call. it's 950 in the money. it's going to cost me about 1050. so it's going to act much like this stock on the upside and i'm looking for a 10% move in the stock which transaltes to a 75% return in the option if we get that gain. > > what could slow the roll of exxon mobil? > >oil is the wild card but typically price shock potential is usually to the upside that anything that happens in the world. they usually don't drive the price sharply lower in a short period of time. there's an underlying fundamental base in the market of energy obviously and we've been at a 4 year uptrend. so i'm looking at the upside price shock potential with
