Looking for oil and gas plays to add to portfolio in anticipation of longterm commodities inflation. Exxon obviously fits the profile. Now seems like a reasonable time to buy considering that the company is selling near its 52 week low. The current p/bv ratio is 2.9 compared to a longterm average p/bv of 3.5. The current p/e ratio is above average because earnings are at a low ebb. Current dividend yield is 2.55 and the company has adequate earnings and cash to maintain. Following CHK999 who thinks it may be time for blue chips to outperform.

I am very confused. XOM's dividend is much lower (50% lower!) than european oil companies
such as TOT, RDS and BP. And even significantly lower than CVX and COP. Why?

Where is XOM's huge money? It should pay shareholders like other oil companies!

I totally agree. The stock has been taking a beating the past couple of months. Much of which we can probably attribute to having guilt by association with the bad publicity from the BP oil spill. Its definately at a bargin price with a solid dividend. Scoop it up while you can.
