Exxon Mobil yield ~4%

Oil is trading for just under $65/barrel today and Exxon is trading at $87/share yielding 3.5%. I was a little early, buying at ~$81. If one held out for a couple of weeks you'd have gotten $76. Exxon has sucked up a much of the fracking wild catters in the Permian Basin. The joy of fracking is it can be turned off and on relatively quickly. Exxon reports Friday and the analyst are predicting earning for 4Q17 to be $1.05, up a dime from 3Q17.
