Chevron Invests in LS9; To Produce Microbe Diesel by 2011?

By the time our government taxes the crap out of synthetic biodiesel in order to pay for the Obama stimulus packages and the Obama government-mandated universal health plan......it will be more like $3 per gallon

Year to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members

Exxon-Mobil (XOM): Can someone explain to me exactly how the most profitable company in the world with decent revenue and earnings growth can be DOWN 16% year to date? Here is the past performance results of XOM,

2008 YTD: -16%
2007: +24.3%
2006: + 39.1%
2005: +11.8%
2004: +28.0%
2003: +20.6%

I would assume that their dividend is the safest that you can find in this economy. So what am I missing here? Is XOM a great value play at these levels or what?
