Well crap. Right after I posted I thought of another petroleum company to look into and now I am torn slightly. Occidental Petroleum has tremendous 10 year growth compared to Chevron but a much lower dividend. So which should I really pay attention to, dividend or growth? I'm leaning towards dividend because that's paid out and some what guaranteed where as growth may not be. Is that an ok way to look at it or not?

Conoco Philips is also on par with Chevron but their dividend is slightly lower so between those two, I choose Chevron.
