downtheharch I assume you refer to me. What you attribute to me is false. I did not KNOW what the results would be and never claimed that I did. What I stated, which was true, was that I guessed in advance what it would be, and that the guess was quite close to the number that turned out to be the case. This was quite a rough guess on my part. I have a weak memory and I forget most information in a few weeks. Therefore I now forget the crack spread during the third quarter. My impression is though that it is not very different from what has been during the current quarter. This would suggest earnings between 40 and 50 cents during the current quarter. I remember though that earnings per share were surprisingly high during the same quarter last year, exceeding one dollar per share. I don't know if this had something to do with the time of the year. If it had a guess could be that the numbers will be a bit better in this quarter than in the preceding quarter.
