ExxonMobil Becomes World's Most Valuable Company Friday, February 18, 2005
NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) Friday knocked General Electric Co. (GE) from its perch as the world's most valuable public company ranked by stock market capitalization.

Riding the tide of high oil prices, tight U.S. refining capacity and market enthusiasm for its dynamic cash flow growth, Exxon Mobil shares have risen more than 40 percent over the last year, outperforming all of the major U.S. stock indexes and GE by nearly 4 to 1. GE is up just 10.3 percent over the same period.

Exxon Mobil shares, after touching their latest in a string of all-time highs, closed up 2.2 percent at $59.41 on the New York Stock Exchange (search), giving it a market cap of $383.27 billion, according to Reuters data. GE, meanwhile, ended down 0.42 percent at $35.88 with a market value of $379.33 billion.

GE, a provider of everything from light bulbs, mortgages and sitcoms to jet engines and power-plant turbines, held court as the most valuable company for the better part of 10 years, and had been so for the past three years in a row. It endured periodic hiatuses in 2002, 1999 and 1998 when New Economy fervor vaulted Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to the top spot.

Microsoft is now a distant No. 3 — fully $100 billion behind the two leaders. Microsoft finished down 0.66 percent at $25.48 on Nasdaq.

GE, built over decades through an aggressive acquisition strategy and a determination to be No. 1 or 2 in all of its markets, has held a position among the five largest U.S. companies going back through the 1980s, according to Standard & Poor's.

This is not the first time a company bearing Exxon's name has held the top spot. Predecessor company Exxon Corp. (Exxon bought Mobil in 1999) ranked atop the S&P 500 at the end of 1990 through 1992 when the first Iraq war sent oil prices rising.

IIC,

Do you have any idea why WLK tanked an hour or two after its oustanding earnings report? It started breaking out up maybe 5% or more before the tumble began. BJ must think it will be corrected as he has picked it again this week in the contest.

No I don't...but the upside vol at the end of the day was encouraging...but something is fishy...Why are insiders selling 33 shs each?

Anyway...I don't like the fact that one entity owns 80% of it(if I'm reading right)

Since the CPI will be announced this week I thought it might be interesting to take a look at the annual average inflation rate per decade:

I heldover MSSN and CNXS today...Have to go to Pechanga(Indian Casino halfway to San Diego) for a meeting tomorrow.

I can't remember if I mentioned this...I'm not posting a prewatch right now...those were news related...When I have time, I'm going back to short term chart plays. News plays require more contant attention and time...and I'm a little short of time lately.

S/R for Thursday

Interesting that 1st level support on the Naz held and 1st level resistance on the Q's (well, 2 cents...close enough) provided a ceiling today.
