Standard Oil has always been the Champion of the World since John D. Rockefeller started the company with just $4,000 if he could do it then so can you.
Slowly, Standard Oil is putting all the Baby Oils back together again. ExxonMobil could buy Marathon Oil in the future. If you robbed a bank recently and you must invest your stolen cash in just one company (Nobody buries the cash anymore because a Walmart may open in the same exact same spot where you buried it and you won’t be to recover it) then invest in ExxonMobil. However, if you can invest in two companies then you cannot go wrong with JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) because they are currently the second most awesome company in the world according to Forbes magazine.
