LOL..mackfish, That is apples and oranges. XOM has been diluting their stock according to their filings. Awww, I forgot…you don’t trust SEC filings. Not much point debating CVX or CWEI with someone who doesn’t bother looking at actual facts and filings. I have always said that if you feel more comfortable buying a diluting stock on the NYSE, knock yourself out. LOL, IMO and FWIW.
