"Today, I steamed when I read this cheap-shot "Heard on the Street" piece about the BP (BP) dividend, the endless hectoring that it can't be maintained. The quarter was great, the company has been committed to it, and the company has made it clear that there is no problem given these prices for oil." ("Oil Reports Are Slim and Slippery," 4-29-09)
