Exxon Mobile = XOM

Chevron = CVX

You want a low Beta stock...not terribly risky, and with a PE ratio of about 12% on XOM how can U go wrong...price appreciation plus 1.9 % Dividend....not terribly exciting like watching the grass grow...but steady as they come...and thats what you want

You have to pay Income tax on the Dividend...unless the shares are bought under a Tax Deffered program...and no Capital Gain Tax until you sell the shares...regardless of the program..
