it would also be interesting to see whether the profits oil companies are making, compared to their cost of capital, are within the norms of most other companies. That's probably the most relevant comparison, and my undestanding is that the oil companies' returns are good but a bit on the low side. Certainly less than, say, Google or Microsoft or Procter & Gamble. That's off the top of my head, I could be wrong.
