| BUY | 61.440 | John O'Connell, CFA | Great yield and a lot of resource. Struggling recently because of management changes. Has exposure to a lot of different areas in the world for energy production. Be aware of potential political risks. | 2008-07-31 | |
| BUY | 69.200 | David Burrows | This fits his multinational theme that he is looking for. Stock has under performed a little bit recently. Would not have problems with this one. | 2007-10-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 67.320 | Norman Levine | Has been a very poorly run company. Poor management and poor results. | 2007-05-01 | |
| Comment | 65.220 | Jim O'Shaughnessy | Classic example of a monster company that tends to pay an above average dividend yield. Also very attractive when they are doing any buyback activity. Use net buyback activity and dividend yield and if it scores high in large-cap stocks, it's a good time to buy. | 2007-01-23 | |
| BUY | 70.220 | John Stephenson | Has had some problems because of its Texas City refinery disaster and now the Prudoe Bay partial shutdown. A great company with worldwide assets and capital efficient spending. | 2006-08-21 | |
| BUY | 65.420 | Norman Levine | This will give you good international exposure. Feels that oil is in a long term uptrend and keeping this in mind this is a time you should be adding in. | 2005-10-25 | |
| BUY | 63.900 | Norman Levine | Positive on the price of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, etc. The demand is not going away and there are supply constraints. Very important to have exposure to this sector. This is a good international play. | 2005-02-23 | |
