doc not null. node null, however, , because xpath expression wrong.

the name of root element in xml document fetch query, xpath expression /results/stock/fulltimeemployees matches if root element has name results. there no matching nodes, selectsinglenode returns null.

try changing xpath either

/query/results/stock/fulltimeemployees

or perhaps

//results/stock/fulltimeemployees

(//results matches element name results @ depth in document.)
