Just last week, one of those Fools, hend6, listed several of Exxon's positives for our community: "A heavy hitter. Very strong balance sheet, ginormous piles of net income, repurchasing shares, a nice dividend yield, good P/E ratio, etc. I don't see their operations changing in 5 years, but they don't need to."
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Exxon may not be your top choice.
