Adding back a little XOM today. My trading summary: Starting in late 2003 and averaging up, I've made 36 small XOM stock purchases, each at a higher price than the previous purchase. This has resulted in more than a full position for me. 6 recent sells were made for long-term gains 1 recent sell for Roth gain 3 recent sells were made of most recent buys for short-term losses finance.yahoo.com -------------------------- Company seems too big, and the stock is a bit pricey compared to peers. Also Exxon is too easy a target for politicians (and maybe everyone else) for its soon-to-be-announced record earnings. Compared to recent years, stock is attractive to me based on a relatively low forward p/e, relatively low psr, increasing (albeit low) divdidend, low d/e ratio.
