		<description><![CDATA[If all goes according to plan, by the end of June, Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL)… … will start saving $300 million a year on fuel costs. … will add 5,000 new jobs to its payroll. … will see its share price steadily rising for the foreseeable future. How does it expect to do all of this? By being the first airline ever to provide itself with its own domestic fuel. Let me explain… Delta’s Bold Move into Oil Refinement Last year, domestic prices for airfare hit an all-time record high according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The No. 1 reason for this is fuel cost. For Delta, nearly 40% of its revenue went to keeping its planes fueled. And so far this year, these costs only continue to rise. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) as the company continues to operate in a very competitive environment with peers having greater resources, which continues to impact Murphy’s profitability and ability to expand. The company&#8217;s success in the oil and gas sector hinges on its ability to replenish reserves with new findings. Profitability is seriously hampered by the company’s inability to find new resource and unsuccessful drilling. Failed drilling attempts in Congo, Suriname and more recently in Indonesia have severely affected Murphy’s stock performance. Among the positives are the company&#8217;s strong balance sheet and its ability to generate consistent cash flows. Besides, the step taken by Murphy, during the third quarter, to exit its refining business and concentrate more on its exploration &#38; production (E&#38;P) operations ]]></description>

Results shot up 69.6% from $1.02 earned in the year ago quarter. Higher sales prices for crude oil production, stronger U.S. retail gasoline station profits and favorable impacts from transactions denominated in foreign currencies enabled the company to present a better  show in the quarter. Including income of $70.4 million or 36 cents per share from sale of Superior and Meraux refineries, the company reported a net income of $406.1 million or $2.09 per share compared with $202.8 million or $1.05  in the year ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Neither the East Coast earthquake nor weaker-than-expected domestic economic reports could prevent the markets from staging a strong rally that also saw the Dow posting its best gains in two weeks. Encouraging global economic reports helped to boost the mood of the investors, who were already tempted by the cheap prices of beaten-down bellwether stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) sprung 322.11 points or 3% to settle at 11,176.76. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) jumped 3.4% and finished the day at 1,162.35. The Nasdaq Composite Index moved up 4.3% to wrap up at 2,446.06. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) moved down by 15% to hover around 36. The fear-gauge index is still over the key level of 30, which is considered a high degree of fear, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets lacked the conviction to bet big leading to a flat finish for the benchmarks on Monday. A choppy day of trading was initially spurred by hopes that the Fed chairman would announce another asset-buying plan on Friday, but lingering concerns about the domestic and global financial situation ensured the indices ended flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.3% to settle at 10,854.65. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.02% to close at 1,123.82, and 6 of its 10 industry groups registered gains. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.2% to finish the day at 2,345.38.

The deal is as a part of BP’s strategy to uphold a superior business standard in the region despite a recent tax hike on oil and gas production in British waters. The two fields –– Schiehallion and Loyal –– are located to the west of the Shetland Islands. The fields have already produced nearly 400 million barrels of oil since the commencement of production in 1998 and are still expected to hold 450 million barrels of resource. The company intends to utilize a major portion of the investment in upgrade and replacement of the subsea facilities, with a view to start production in 2016, in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reports of a possible resolution to Greece’s debt crisis put the market on track for a finish in the green. Combined with mixed economic reports, this development helped benchmarks end their six-week losing streak. A decline in oil prices lifted the indices higher, but losses for the technology sector limited gains and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended lower. Analysts also did not rule out a continuing bearish trend in the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved above the psychological 12,000 level, gaining 0.4% to settle at 12,004.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) increased 0.3% and closed at 1,271.50. However, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 0.3% to finish the day at 2,616.48.

		<description><![CDATA[Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) announced first-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $1.38 per share compared with 77 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The results of the company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 38 cents. The year-over-year growth in earnings was attributable to a higher average realized crude oil sales price, improved natural gas production volumes, better U.S. refining margins and more favorable foreign currency transaction. These positives were marginally offset by lower crude oil sales volume, a decline in the natural gas sales price in North America and an increase in exploration expenses. Total Revenue Murphy&#8217;s total revenue for first-quarter 2011 grew 41.9% to $7.35 billion from $5.18 billion reported in the year-ago period. The favorable outcome was driven primarily by improved performance from the Refining and Marketing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Concerns about a possible government shutdown coupled with record high crude prices jolted the markets on Friday, as commodities touched new highs. Crude prices touched a 30-month high, spreading significant concerns over the economy recovery derailing and investors kept away from big bets ahead of the earnings season. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,379.90, shedding 0.2% and the Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 0.4% to end at 1,328.15. The Nasdaq lost 0.6% and finished the day at 2,780.41. For the week, the Dow was the only gainer and was up 0.3% with both the S&#38;P 500 and the Nasdaq shedding 0.3%. The CBOE Volatility Index dropped below 17 on Friday, yet another day which witnessed tight volumes. On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Amex ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets greeted investors with New Year wishes as they closed higher and major benchmarks set new records on Monday. Robust growth in manufacturing and a better-than-expected construction spending report helped the indices post significant gains. Investors can take lot of heart from this positive start as historical data suggests that markets opening up with gains usually leads to a successful year. According to reports from the Institute for supply Management, manufacturing data sprung higher with the new-orders index posting higher results. The manufacturing sector also jumped for the 17th consecutive month in December.  Additionally, data on the global front suggested that China’s inflation may subside after a slowdown in the manufacturing sector while Europe’s manufacturing sector posted better-than-expected growth during the last month. In addition, construction spending increased for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Subsequent to Murphy Oil Corporation’s (MUR) earnings release dated May 5, 2010, the company’s share price has remained largely stable. Despite the earnings sinking below estimates in the quarter, the company’s position remains strong on back of expectations of improved results from its Exploration &#38; Production (E&#38;P) segment. Earnings Review Murphy Oil posted earnings from continuing operations of 77 cents per share in the first quarter of 2010, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.00. However, earnings were significantly higher than 37 cents reported last year, primarily driven by improved earnings in the E&#38;P segment as a result of higher realized oil prices in the quarter. Earnings from Murphy’s E&#38;P business improved a whopping 391% from a year-ago quarter, primarily due to a 50% higher average realized crude oil sales ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) posted earnings from continuing operations of 98 cents per share in the third quarter, almost in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. However, results were significantly below earnings of $3.04 reported last year, largely driven by lower commodity prices in the Exploration &#38; Production (E&#38;P) segment accompanied by lower earnings from the Refining &#38; Marketing (R&#38;M) operations. Earnings from Murphy’s E&#38;P business declined 65% from a year ago, primarily based on lower oil and gas prices, higher production costs and depreciation. Exploration expenses improved 55% to $37.9 million in the quarter versus $83.4 million last year, primarily attributable to lower dry hole costs in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Malaysia, and lower undeveloped lease amortization expense for the Tupper properties.

		<description><![CDATA[Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) announced the acquisition of a corn-based ethanol plant in Hankinson, North Dakota, on Oct 1, 2009, through its subsidiary. The purchase price was $92 million, which will be financed through non-recourse debt offered via the sellers. The company plans to invest approximately $15 million in working capital into the facility. The acquired plant had started production in July 2008 and has remained idle since October 2008. The annual capacity of the plant is 110 million gallons. The acquisition marks Murphy’s first venture into the manufacture of bio-fuels and is expected to supplement the company’s growing North American fuels business. Given the current ethanol mandates and the company’s subsequent blending needs, a comprehensive presence in the supply chain better balances the company’s business. Production at the plant, ]]></description>
