barrons3	Cramer urged Exxon Mobil (XOM) to move into the country “before BP locks it all up.” “I think that this is the great next level for oil,” Cramer said of Iraq.	Love	October 22, 2009
barrons3	We had a remarkable rally in the integrated oils, then an equally remarkable and stunning pullback. Now, led by the Anadarkos (APC) and the Transoceans (RIG), we are galloping higher. I am watching Exxon (XOM) to see if it can break out.	Love	October 15, 2009
barrons3	Stock buybacks, another type of investor reward, also are at an all-time low since S&P started keeping tabs on them in 1998's first quarter. For the second quarter this year (the most recent data available), S&P 500 companies spent only $24.2 billion to repurchase their shares, down 72% from $87.9 billion in April-June 2008, and an 86% drop from the record $172 billion spent on buybacks during 2007's third quarter. "At the height of the buyback bonanza," said Silverblatt, "companies spent 180% more on stock repurchases than they did on dividends. Now buyback spending is just half that of dividends." On the bright side, several big companies continued repurchasing their shares. ExxonMobil (XOM) spent the most, $5.2 billion. Wal-Mart (WMT) was second, dishing out $1.9 billion. Other notables were Family Dollar Stores (FDO), Staples (SPLS) and Medco Health Solutions (MHS).	Love	October 10, 2009
barrons3	Take Exxon Mobil (XOM). This stock, which used to be such a leader, is simply disliked, and nobody cares about it. Nobody at all. It just sits there.	Love	October 01, 2009
barrons3	As the quarter winds to a close, with so many winners, no one wants to be caught holding one of the losers. So this week money managers will be shedding IBM (IBM), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Potash (POT), Steve Grasso said. But Joe Terranova disagrees, saying Exxon has a great balance sheet and if you think the demand for energy will increase in the long-term, it's a buy.	Love	September 30, 2009

barrons3	Integrated oil giants like ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) should fare better, because their diversified operations make them less dependent on any one market. Unlike the U.S., consumption in less-developed lands should continue to rise, as an emergent global middle class discovers the joy of driving and car ownership.	Love	August 29, 2009

barrons3	It's such an easy story to stretch out, though you can see that our Freeports (FCX) and our Exxons (XOM) can get hammered.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	Tim Seymour said he likes Exxon (XOM) in the range of $66 and $74, calling it a "fantastic" company with $34 billion in cash and stable oil prices.	Love	August 19, 2009

barrons3	Now we understand the surge there -- these companies have growth when the major integrated like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) have almost none.	Love	August 06, 2009
barrons3	In a week-long segment called the "Slow Money" trade, Terranova picked Exxon Mobil(XOM) as a solid blue chip to hang on for the long term. He said the company has an excellent dividend growth rate, $31 billion in cash, a stock buyback program, and a strategy to beat its competition. He said it also has an investment in biofuels.

Stockpickr Staff	<B>Exxon Mobil</B>: In a <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10542420/1/exxon-mobil-bets-on-biofuels.html" target="_blank"> partnership with Synthetic Genomics</a>, Exxon plans to spend $600 million on developing next-generation biofuels. Last week in a <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10537921/1/mad-money-lightning-round-hold-off-on-exxon.html" target="_blank">"Lightning Round"</a> segment on "Mad Money," Cramer recommended staying away from Exxon "until the yield is higher." In a <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/p/_search/rmoney/jimcramerblog/10536543.html" target="_blank">July 7 blog post</a>, Cramer asked what would happen if oil went to $45. He said there'd be money to make in retail stocks such as <B>Macy's</B> (M), restaurant stocks such as <B>Darden</B> (DRI) and apparel stocks such as <B>Nike</B> (NKE). But, he wrote: "Of course, the problem is you feel the decline in oil first as <B>Exxon Mobil</B> (XOM), <B>Chevron</B> (CVX), <B>ConocoPhillips</B> (COP) and <B>BP</B> (BP) are now hugely weighted in the market. And we don't know if $45 is right. We just know that that's the level the oil stocks are signaling."	Love	July 14, 2009
