I understand that most people who buy XOM buy it to be a long time part of their portfolio, but if there was a time not to buy that time is now. Even though the oil prices are good, it didn’t take more that a few days of the Russian-Ukrainian... — read more 

The two things that I like to see a company do to show that it is confident about its future are raising its dividend and initiating share buybacks. XOM, which has been on the rise in the past few months, has done both of those things, which makes me... — read more 

The current political climate is not good for O&G companies and taking into account the several recent incidents considering EM specifically, I'd say the stock's prospects don't look good. If you're brave I guess you can continue to hold and hope... — read more 

That’s the thought that keeps crossing my mind more and more lately. I have a substantial amount of XOM shares in my portfolio which I bought in early 2020. I was planning to hold on to it for a while, given that at the time I was under the... — read more
