XOM. Worked for them for 32 years. No need to sell it at this point. The dividends pay for football tickets, Christmas, vacations, etc. I will roll it at some point if it looks like the capital gains rate is in danger of being raised again.

So it looks like XOM is one of the most common holdings. Apparently the reason is the dividend.

If you had to translate that dividend to an estimate of a comparable earnings rate, what would that benefit be?

For example, if I put $10,000 into XOM on 1/1/12, how much more value was added to that investment by 12/31/12?
