"I asked [Bono] why, in his opinion, [Tony] Stark couldn’t be content with charitable work à la Bill Gates, shaping the world with his billions. "You have to understand these guys," was Bono's one-line reply. "Bill's software. Stark's all hardware." Vanity Fair profiles a year in the life of Tony Stark , and asks what the literal and figurative ascent of the inventor/playboy/superhero means for 21st Century geopolitics. Is Iron Man "the embodiment of an outdated American fantasy -- a self-made, unilateral, technological solution to hopelessly complex problems" ? Or is he merely the improbable but logical outgrowth of one young man's vast wealth, careless hedonism, prodigious intellect, and strained familial and mentor relationships? Christine Everhart examines the political implications and personal motives of Stark's quest to beat swords into plowshares -- while profiting from the retrofits. Not really from Vanity Fair, no. ...

A former boss of a Halliburton subsidiary has pleaded guilty to bribing Nigerian government officials in a corruption scandal that overlaps with Dick Cheney's leadership of the Texas-based oilfield services conglomerate. Albert "Jack" Stanley faces seven years in prison after admitting violations of America's foreign corruption practices act between 1995 and 2004 when he was head of KBR, a construction company formerly known as Kellog, Brown & Root which was part of Halliburton until it was spun out as a separate entity last year. Over the nine-year period, KBR was a member of a consortium which won four contracts to construct liquefied natural gas facilities on Nigeria's Bonny Island. For part of the time, between 1995 and 2000, the overall chief executive of Halliburton was vice-president Cheney. Stanley, 65, has been under investigation for more than four years. In addition to paying bribes, he admitted receiving kickbacks of $10.8m (£6m). He has agreed to pay back the money in addition to serving a prison sentence which will be the longest awarded under laws prohibiting Americans from bribing foreign officials.

Ryan Barnes submits: Energy servicing giant Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) is down over 25% from its summer peak of $55, tracing the performance line of crude oil. This is to be expected in a market with little in the way of broad direction or leadership, but with oil becoming so volatile on YoY levels, price movements have lost some of their longer-term perspective. Nearly all the “picks & shovels” leaders in the energy sector are still clocking record results, with most of those gains made from customer decisions back when crude was $20 to $30 cheaper than today’s $106 and change for NYMEX Light Sweet Crude .

Filed under: Analyst reports , Analyst upgrades and downgrades , Halliburton (HAL) , Commodities , Oil Goldman Sachs shook up its ratings on the oil-services sector today, and made a notable adjustment to its "conviction buy" list -- Halliburton (NYSE: HAL ) was ousted from the roster in favor of Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG ). The brokerage firm still maintains a "buy" rating on HAL, but it's pretty obvious that the stock is now playing Jan Brady to RIG's Marcia. So, why does Goldman prefer RIG to HAL? The former is more strongly levered to oil than the latter -- and, going forward, the analysts expect strong fundamentals and heightened oil prices to support "oilier" stocks. In a note to clients, Goldman said, "... we continue to expect a healthy oil-services spending environment through 2010, supported by low reinvestment rates and secular trends to more complex, high-margin drilling services." Despite the bullish "buy" ratings on both securities, Goldman tempered its optimism by trimming its price targets on the duo. HAL's forecast was slashed from $63 to $58, while RIG's was trimmed from $189 to $178. The new price targets represent a 44.5% premium from HAL's closing price yesterday, and a 47% increase from RIG's Thursday settlement.
