re BP:

I've traded it since the Gulf spill; it's difficult for me to consider a company this poorly managed as an investment. RDSB and XOM are much better managed, if you want Big Oil. However, if BP's stock price gets low enough, I'll re-consider (they do have hard assets worth a lot, no matter what management does).

As you can see from the chart, the 5-year moving average (gold line) has been a line it can't get back above, ever since the spill. While other big cap dividend payers hit all-time highs, BP goes sideways to down. I wouldn't buy it here; wait till BP revisits the 2012 or 2011 lows. Yes, it will.
