I do feel better about my novice stock ideas when you purchase the same stocks

What about a "flyer" in BP? Yield at 4.1%, likely to continue increasing the dividend to pre-spill levels in the next few years assuming the litigation goes their way, and payout ratio of only 21%

I have XOM in another portfolio and it is my largest stock holding BY FAR. So I'm trying not to concentrate my risk with another O&G producer. Otherwise, BP would fit real well.

ETA: But if I were to add another oil producer I would probably prefer Royal Dutch Shell over BP. It has a yield over 4.5% now and it has a very good history of dividend increases.
