One of my brothers invested in BP a few years ago, when prices started going up. He said, whatever happened, it was a win/win. Either he would win at the pump when the prices went down, or at the market when profits went up. :-)
LOL. That’s a good one! I have to confess to having similar thoughts, although a dividend stream helps to pay for some of my monthly gas bill. Go into Yahoo Finance and look at a ‘max’ chart of XOM. :)
