Oil was up $1.13 a barrel today......Thus the drop in stock price. If yoou have NW stock you may feel great that they "made" 2.1 bil. But in reality they made a pre tax profit of 279 Mil. Not BIL. Most of that 2.1 bil. is from freash start account after bankrupcy. Nice profit, but trouble still looms at NWA
