lso, Exxon Mobile and NDOL are like apples and oranges. Exxon has that many shares because of splits. Companies usually split because it make the shares more attactive to buy at a "lower" price (mentally, which does not apply to pennies - dilution). They are fundamentally sound and traded on a much higher exchange w/ proven reserves and revenue.
Relax, the "reading" thing was sarcastic... duh...
