He was a little vague about what he was going to do with short term profits right now. But he intimated that according to the company's philosphy there are two currencies: the $U.S., and Exxon-Mobil stock. He said that he's no control over the former (being dependent on people in Washginton D.C. for that), but has a fiduciary obligation to ensure the value of the latter to stockholders. He said that if in the future revenues aren't of the magnitude they are at present, he has to ensure the financial viability of the company through lean times. He said that in order to finance operations of the company during such times, it may be necessary to utilize the latter currency to obtain the capital necessary (to purchase debt for example).
