      Any 3 stocks in the same industry will tend to have price movements that will be correlated to some degree. If they are the 3 biggest companies in the industry, even more so. They won’t be perfectly correlated, of course, and some unusual company-specific price move may make one of them move out of synch with the others.

      Try Chevron, Exxon and BP for example (CVX, XOM, BP).
