Isn't it amazing that the Usual Suspects who love to demagogue the "Oil Company's Obscene Windfall Profits" never seem to get around to discuss this aspect of those "profits."
Noteworthy:
"If you had bought one share of Exxon at the beginning of the year, you would have paid $94, and you would have received a $0.35 dividend in February, and $0.40 dividends in May and August, for a total of $1.15 in dividends this year. Exxon is now selling for $80 (see chart above), so your annual return this year from holding Exxon stock would be -13.7%, and a $1,000 investment in Exxon on January 1 would now be worth only $863. Seems like more of a windfall loss than a windfall gain for Exxon shareholders."
