Exxon Mobil Ousted by Salesforce Makes Epic Comeback, Leaving Dow Jones Shaken

The Tale of Two Titans

Ah the fickle world of the stock market where fortunes can change as swiftly as a gust of wind. Four years ago I watched in amusement as Exxon Mobil was unceremoniously booted out of the prestigious Dow Jones Industrial Average to make way for Salesforce. Little did anyone know that this would be just the beginning of a tumultuous journey for these two companies.

Exxon's Resurgence

In a surprising turn of events Exxon Mobil has staged a spectacular comeback proving that you can't keep a good oil company down. With its stock soaring by nearly 170% since its exit from the Dow Exxon has emerged victorious in the battle of the giants. As they say in Hyrule 'It's dangerous to go alone take Exxon with you.'

Salesforce's Downfall

Meanwhile Salesforce's fortunes have taken a nosedive faster than a cucco in Kakariko Village. The tech giant's stock has seen a mere 4% increase since joining the Dow while its recent revenue miss has sent shockwaves through the stock market. It seems that even the Triforce of Wisdom couldn't save Salesforce from this downfall.

Dividends and Deliverance

When dividends enter the fray the disparity between Exxon and Salesforce becomes even more glaring. Exxon's impressive 220% return to investors puts Salesforce's recent dividend initiation to shame. It's like comparing a Master Sword to a wooden stick – no contest.

A Twisted Turn of Events

As the global economy reopens and oil prices surge Exxon Mobil finds itself riding high on a wave of success. With tensions in the Middle East driving oil prices to new heights Exxon hit a record closing high solidifying its comeback story. Meanwhile Salesforce's woes only continue to mount making them wish they had a fairy companion to guide them through this dark forest of financial woes.

The Moral of the Story

In the ever unpredictable world of the stock market one thing remains constant – expect the unexpected. As companies rise and fall like the phases of the moon in the night sky investors must navigate this Hyrule of finance with caution and a keen eye for opportunity. As they say in the land of Hyrule 'It's dangerous to short alone take this Exxon with you.'
