Better Buy: ConocoPhillips vs. Royal Dutch Shell
They're big! They're bad (at least, their stock price performances have been)! They're major oil companies Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) (NYSE: RDS-B) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP)! Shell is the largest oil company in the world by revenue (rival ExxonMobil beats it by market cap), while Conoco is the world's largest independent oil and gas exploration and production company.
Despite a September rally for oil stocks, both of these titans are trading well below their highs. Let's see which one looks like the better buy right now.
