Exxon, hmmm not a lot of new news. They continue to make a ton of cash every quarter. $28B on hand now. they have been buying back shares at a healthy clip and are planning to continue this. On the SSG data screen the last year shows shares of 5.7B vs 6.7B five years prior. To show how financially strong they are, a company who's interest coverage is 3-4 times what they need to meet interest payments on debt is considered healthy. according to the data sheet on SC XOM's interest coverage is 104 times. EPS of $6.62 and a dividend of $1.28 they have plenty of room to grow the dividend. Not only does XOM belong in your gas tank it belongs in your retirement account. My SSG show 7% growth on sales and EPS. This is a top range for a large cap. currently trading at 11 times earnings I chose 15 as a five year high PE and a low of 10.9. Sec 3 avg. Sec 2 trends are up. I used the 52 wk low of 56, which I dont remember it hitting. At the current price of 77.16 it is barely out of the buy range with a 3/1 UD Ratio at $77. With oil price swings it will be within the buy range frequently. Driving season is coming and I still see Hummers on the road so consumption is not easing. ( I have a 4 cylinder Stratus, so all you Hummer haters hold off)! Anyway XOM is a core holding in this portfolio and will remain so again this quarter. I expect no surprises. Attached SSG data is Hemscott from 12/31/2006.

4/25/07 Good trend and hopefully more to come. XOM saidWed that its board has approved the payment of a dividend of 35 cents per share on its common stock for the second quarter, payable on June 11 to shareholders of record on May 14. The Irving, Texas-based oil and gas giant noted that it paid a dividend of 32 cents a share for the first quarter. Shares of the company, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, were up 1.4% to $79.70 in afternoon trades

since the last upate to this 25 stocks to own portflio holding it has gone from $79 to the mid $90's and settled back to $82-85. they still make a ton of money and sharebuybacks are a big part of their philosophy. Even with all the talk of ethanol, I saw very few stations with that alternative fuel offered as I drove across america this summer. XOM will be a core holding here and in my personal portfolio.

Oil closed above $80 a barrel for the first time. Dems have their site on big oil. Who's going to blink first? With these numbers XOM should be in the range of $8-10B profit this quarter.
