It is cheap. Pays a 4.5% divident and earns money by the boat loads.

Shell is a dinosaur. It lacks the access to resources of the National Oil Companies and cannot compete with the cost structure of the independents. The National Oil Companies don't need the Shells anymore to develop their fields, they just call… More

The price of oil will continue to rise as the USD continues to get weaker and foreign investors continue to purchase oil. As the economy recovers, consumers and businesses will also start to demand more oil, further forcing the price to increase.
Since Royal Dutch is a European company denominated in EUR, the company will also benefit from a strengthening EUR and a weakening USD.
Finally, as a fully integrated oil company, Royal Dutch Shell won't be a slave to the fluctuating price of oil. In fact, if the price of oil continues to increase, it should benefit from increased revenues and profit margin.

The economic recovery will be anemic and probably W-shaped, forcing the oil and gas inventories to continue stock piling. Any short term strength in oil prices will be supported by a flight from a weakening dollar, not from fundamental supply/demand economics. The oil price will again fall (albeit how much is up for debate) hurting yet another quarter of company profits. I predict this will be a trend for Q4 2009 until Q2 or Q3 of 2010. After this unstable period of time, I would bet that supply/ demand economics will function correctly and oil prices will be reflective of thier true price and not due to the inherent instability of investor speculation.
