I just linked you the facts. Picking a few years here and there makes no difference. Overall you'd be twice as rich if you moved out of Exxon 30 years ago and into the S&P. Sorry that stings and reduced you to obfuscation but its true.From 1996-2010, XOM outperformed The S&P handily. The advance of technology stocks coupled with Chimpy’s war on fossil fuels caused it to lag behind during the teens. Since 2021, it has rebounded nicely, especially since EV subsidies disappeared. People are back to understanding how important oil is.
