Exxon Mobil Inc. (NYSE: XOM) was one of the ill omens this morning for trading. Imagine making well over $10 billion in earnings on way over $100 billion in revenues (in a quarter rather than a lifetime) and seeing your stock FALL! Yep, shares were down over 4% in today's final minutes at $80.74.

First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) blew the doors off the house with $0.85 EPS vs. $0.58 estimates and raised guidance. Shares are up 6% pre-market and were up 10% last night, but by today's final minutes we saw only a 0.6% gain to $286.50.

ImClone Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: IMCL) rose sharply as Bristol-Myers sent Carl Icahn (chairman) a letter with an offer to acquire the company for some $60.00 per share. Investors are hoping a higher bid is ultimately made as shares were up in the final minutes by 37% at $63.81.

Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that it essentially broke even versus loss expectations and it also sees break-even to $0.02 EPS next quarter vs. $0.01 estimates. It also sees 2008 finishing up at $0.06 to $0.08 EPS from operations vs. estimates of about $0.02. In short, things are just less crummy than everyone who threw in the towel thought. Shares rose over 12% to $8.63 in the final minutes. Don't worry if you really dislike it though, because the cell phone unit break-off may take a year, and investors still don't seem to like the company.
