As you said, no losers there. I've sold my COP and don't hold any of these, but have COP in three ports. I run. Head to head, much depends on at what price and when you bought. We'll check back in ten years. :) Much depends on PSX div increases. So far, 50%+ in nine months. With a current payout ratio of 19%, they have lots of room. COP payout ratio at 44% of S+P 2013 earnings. We'll see what they do going forward. "Adjusted for the spinoff, we estimate that EPS was $5.57 in 2012, and we see $5.95 in 2013"
