It's an interesting idea, that GM is more worthwhile than Exxon because of GM's future prospects and the flimsiness of the oil market that you're perceiving, but that doesn't mean that GM, or any of the other companies you mention, could buy Exxon. Exxon isn't a paper tiger like Lucent or the internet boom companies used to be, its massive market capitalization is backed up at every level.
Exxon can pay for its own research. Anyways, it's a great company, one I have a lot of respect for, and I am sure that they will figure out a way to keep making money, whether it is in oil, LNG, steam, billions of mice on treadmills, or whatever else.
Ahem, as I said, GM has more assets, idiot (directed at Andrew)
They don't make medals for 29th place in the Olympics for a reason.
The point DNG made was Exxon was #2. Which they are.
Also, might I add, that when you look at the Exxon Market, GM is the biggest influence by the way.
If GM decided to wholesale go to hydrogen next year (they won't, just making a point) exxon is done.
If exxon decides to stop producting oil, the beat goes on for GM.
I like both companies, but we must understand assets and liquidity before we make decisions on perceived value by ack, fortune magazine.
Time Life called Hitler man of the year once as well.
You work for GM don't you
Yes. And they should have called Osama Bin Laden man of the year in 2001 but pussied out of their own policy. I don't condone what he did, but the award is supposed to go to the man who influences or changes the world the most on any given year, is it not? (not the most popular) Osama Bin Laden did that.Quote:

Osama is a figurehead, hence, no win.
What does that have to do with anything?
