On CAPS, 96% of the 4,235 members who have rated Chevron believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those Fools, hend6, succinctly summed up the Chevron bull case for our community: "Gargantuan company with great income year-over-year for the last few years, a strong balance sheet, continued share repurchases, a great dividend yield, and a slightly more diversified platform than other similarly large conglomerates."

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Chevron may not be your top choice.
