CEO Darren Woods so far has purchased 500 (Finviz) (2858 Nasdaq site) shares of Exxon in open Market as of Feb 2020, while he talks of long term play and commodity cycles with conviction on CNBC. Hardly a pocket change for him while he talks of Cyclical nature of business. Why he and other Sr. Execs of Exxon Mobil not purchasing 1 Million shares each and show conviction, put money where mouth is! so far only Andrew Swiger and Neil Duffin have purchased 30K shares each much more than CEO Darren (leader of the pack) with 500 shares! Until I see strong conviction buys in open market by the Executives I am not averaging down. Yes I am a shareholder of Exxon Mobil. Meanwhile Exxon Mobil Investment Mgmt Research has been selling XOM at low prices why?? do they not know better http://www.j3sg.com/Reports/Stock-Insider/Generate-Institution-Portfolio.php?DV=yes&institutionid=3290.
https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/xom/insider-activity. Also AUM under Exxon Investment Research Mgmt have declined from $15-16B to $.3.5B. It’s fillings are now hard to find. Check out fintel or whalewisdom. Darren Woods gets 25% raise in 2019 while XOM Mkt cap gets cut in half and gets booted out of DJIA while an APC engineer who makes additional $35Million/year does not get a penny in bonus no raise for 7 years of more and ranked at bottom 20%. Happens Only in Exxon Mobil under the excuse of 360 degree evaluation! https://www.dallasnews.com/business/energy/2020/04/10/exxon-mobil-ceo-darren-woods-got-a-25-pay-raise-in-2019/

Cash Preservation Idea
Since XOM CEO is so bullish on LT prospects for XOM, CEO and all Sr. Executives, Executives, Directors, Plant Managers, Refinery managers, Department Heads, Section Heads, any one making over $250 in Salary and stock options should be paid in XOM stock priced between $60-$70 (2019 where DW got 25% raise and $24 Million in Salary). This will send a strong message to Wall Street about true faith by the entire management team n the LT prospects on XOM. This will save roughly $5 Billion in savings and put a smile on 70% Retail Investors (Retirees, Widows etc) holding XOM Stock for dividend income. This will also free up cash for Engineers that deliver significant bottom line monetary value for the company consistently for number of years.
