Lots of numbers look good: profit margins rising (over the past few years), returns on equity and assets rising, P/E below average... plus some hefty recent profits. This is an American giant, embiggening itself successfully.

Okay, boss Rex Tillotson is an unabashed hydrocarbons-only guy and comes across as authoritarian. But at least XOM didn't get tangled up in the apparent hypocrisy that BP did--its incredibly soft and green commercial campaign was stabbed by the ugly...

Everything Exxon does is gold. Even at $35/bbl instead of the current $70+/bbl. Their project execution is peerless and systems integration is very profitable. If they can land a SE Asia/Chinese partnership in the next few years, the sky is the li...

With no real alterntive that is cost effective, oil is here to stay for a while. Also with the increased demand for the BRIC countries Exxon has the potential for great returns of the next few years. Top it off with the dividend the stock pays, this ...

The oil price will not remain at over $100 as the global economy slows and the situation in the Middle East becomes less bad. Also, we may see some substitution from oil as occured in the 1970s. All of this is bad for Exxon, which has also firmly pos...

Diversification throughout the oil/lubricants/plastics industries will earn profits (read:DIVIDENDS) NO MATTER WHAT THE MARKET OR INVESTORS do or think! This is one stock to own forever.

$10B in quarterly profits is evidence enough that Exxon Mobile has a business model that is going to thrive regardless of the price and supply of oil. Leads industry in gross margin and operating margin displaying evidence of a superior infrustructu...

Who can bet against XOM. Now that World crises and hurricanes are easing oil pressures, Exxon's price is languishing, but the World oil supplies are too precarious for this to last. There will be another notable World event in the next 12 months, an...
