I was planning to buy a second tranche of Shell shares today, as I saw the current setback as an attractive entry opportunity. However, after taking a closer look at the share price performance over the last ten years, I realized that the share has largely underperformed over long periods of time.

This doesn't fit in with my strategy, as I generally only try to invest in stocks that could outperform the broad market. In my view, it makes little sense in the long term to tie up capital in individual stocks that cannot beat this benchmark. In such cases, I think a broadly diversified ETF portfolio is the better choice, as you get both diversification and solid performance.

What is your opinion on $SHEL (+1.02%) ? After all, there have been investments in renewable energy in recent years, but will this be the game changer?

Do you find other oil stocks interesting? Perhaps $CVX (-0.15%) , $EQNR (-1.36%) or Warrens $OXY (-0.02%) ? (If Trump had won the election, I would definitely have believed in a positive momentum here, but at this point I no longer believe that Trump will become president)
