Michael:

Halliburton reported second-quarter earnings today; here's a press
release:

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070723/20070723005563.html?.v=1

I'm not sure what you mean by "Halliburton is making 22% on each dollar
they have invested in their company", but in the press release is this
quote from Halliburton's CEO:

"Our operating income margins in the Eastern Hemisphere increased to
nearly 22%."

Might that be what you're looking for?
