Investing 102

Gotcha. That makes sense.

Nice pick.

For whatever reason, when i was doing my comparisons for which of the oil stocks i would buy, that one didnt even get on my list. doh.

So, that brings me to another question... Since most "investing 102" people dont know the "entire market" we are looking to get in, where is a good place to find this info?

If i recall, i just went to schwab and looked at one of the pages (likely, for CVX) and it showed similar companies or something like that. In which I wrote down/researched XOM, BP and RDSA (and of course, CVX). I ended up with CVX due to hits mediocre dividend (compared to the other 3, it was the 3rd on the scale), but its overall higher returns in the 1/3/5/10 year marks.

So somewhere along the line, I "missed" the "competitors" to research.
