Page 2 of 2

BP plc (ADR) (NYSE:BP) dropped 7% and yields 5.2%. The price that BP will ultimately pay for the Deepwater debacle is finally clearer, with the company paying $4 billion in criminal penalties. But its ultimate civil costs remain unclear. Its recently reported quarter featured profits down 19%, largely because of lower production due to asset sales. Some see the stock as attractive now, but its future still holds some questions and carries significant debt.

The big picture
A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies — and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.
