About four years ago, I recommended that you buy Gazprom based on the fact that it had more natural gas than any company in the world. If you are still holding, you are up about 800%. Over the same period, ExxonMobil (XOM: NYSE) is up 125%. You can see it as that little black squiggle on this chart…
With the energy boom in full swing and natural gas prices doubling, Gazprom will soon be the largest energy company in the world. Read on to learn more and view a chart of Gazprom gains against those of ExxonMobil.
