Total SA. (ADR) (TOT)

Paying a lofty $3.09 a share in div. and yield and seems to be in talks with the good folks that can make it a reality to continue keeping the cash flowing to fools looking. Atleast one to check out before those prices shoot back to the moon.

Well run company with a product that is always in demand.

Let's see they only made 226 billion in revenue. so big co in integrated oil and gas going on sale now. Great margins.

Oil! With the recent dip, it is a good opportunity to invest in a company with a high yield that does business with a commodity in increasing demand and dwindling supplies

Massive company with good fundamentals and good technicals. Receivables are through the roof. I like it.

This is a company that would be good for anyone to own. It sells for 6.5 times earnings and has a 6% yield. People don't seem to understand how oil can go up in a crappy economy. Oil will always be in demand and when the currency it is priced in falls, commodoties will go up for that reason alone. Just wait till some one decides to cut oil production to make us sweat a bit in a situation where the dollar is crap. You'll see $100 barrel of oil overnight. TOT is one of the biggest oil companies around. When the value of there product goes up, they make more money. simple equation. I'd honestly be bullish on this for longer than a year but...

Oil and Gas
This is a 10 year hold

I selected this stock for my CAPS three years ago. A large, integrated oil company, it is not only beating the S & P over that period, but the price per share has actually risen. Not too bad in a worldwide recession.

Oil and yield

This is a long buy. Oil prices will eventually ratchet up again.
In the meantime expect this security to be volatile, and pay a good dividend.

TOT will underperform for the next 6-12 months.

I believe Buffett would approve of this pick. This isn't a stellar entry, but it's better to buy a great company at a fair price than a fair company at a great price.

Long-term outperformance is never guaranteed, but seems incredibly likely. I'll likely hop in with real $$ to buy 50-100 shares soon.

The oil patch is loaded with cash this French company should benefit from it's ability to operate worldwide. The only down side is when profits fall from billions to millions.

i love oil

TOT is well-positioned to weather short-term oil prices and soar when oil and gas do several years down the road. Porduction costs still make its reserves accessible in the short term, and the company has a nice dividend from current cash flows.

TOTAL S.A., together with its subsidiaries, operates as an integrated oil and gas company worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals. The Upstream segment engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.
