Good point.  I have shares of XOM which is up 22% since my buy.  I sold off RDSA a while back.  Do you have any recommendations (ETFs or individual companies)?  I like it because it falls right in line with my increased air and cruise travel.  The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that you wake up one day and the Saudis decide to produce more or less oil and the entire industry is impacted (causing a major +/-) swing.

I own XOM shares as well, but recently invested into VDE, which is a Vanguard US oil etf.  I also invests in VWO which is Vanguard's emerging markets ETF. As far as small caps, I like IJR, which is ishares core S&P small cap ETF.

I also feel like if you're looking for a dividend and some growth but nothing huge, just stability, Walmart is a good buy.  

I also agree with JIB that Boeing has a lot of room to grow.

With all of that said, I'm not an advisor, but I get advice from Merrill Lynch and UBS, and then have some experience investing on my own.  I also think while the ideas above are solid, between now and whatever your exit point is there will be a lot of volatility, because let's face it, that's just where we are in the world right now.
