EKS, heartening to me that you have followed NYB for a good while, both the stock and what they loan, and that you are positive enough to be a buyer around current price. My comments on the other stocks you've mentioned: I hold a full position in BBD. I show I began acquiring in '07, with adds subsequently. I'm 20% underwater on the position. If it drops back around $10 on no adverse news, I likely will add more shares. I hold a small position in XOM, acquired recently. I have had an open order since 7/16 to buy more at %67.50. I have held about a full position in CVX for a while. My last buy was 9/'08 @$79.60/sh. (An oops, given the stock is now $66.25.) My largest holding of an integrated major is OXY. Not intentionally. Position just crept up on me. Have held it several years, longer than the others; reinvested the dividends in stock in the early years. I'm not finding so many value stock opportunities now. They may be there, but either I miss them or don't understand their situation/outlook or their reported numbers.
