profits?? you talking gross profits?? so? you say: force them to reinvest it??? ROFLOL!! What do you think they do, sit on a pile of cash in their offices and laugh at you? according to a 2007 report written by Jack Yoest..."there are about two and one half million individuals who own a single share or more. And half of the Exxon stock is owned by institutions, such as a mutual fund. Where a single investor might own only a piece of stock." SO there are millions and millions of Exxon investors.....maye you are one of them? "Exxon reinvested nearly 210 Billion Dollars over the last 15 years back into its business. This nearly matches its earnings. Employees like this. More at the footnotes. Exxon has paid a dividend on its stock for 100 years. It throws off so much cash that it purchases its own outstanding stock. Investors like this. Exxon scientists have written 40 papers for peer review journals. The academy likes this. Exxon has donated $100 million to climate change programs. Stanford University likes this. and I cannot even find a figure of the amount of money DONATED by Exxon to what surely is thousands of good causes, can you?
