CVX

Opposite_Day_9771

Buy CVX, CNQ, EOG, DVN and collect dividends as the world burns.

BigWaterFish

if youre looking for something that moves with oil itself rather than just energy stocks thats the hard part because most oil companies have a bunch of other variables affecting them like hedging production costs debt management refining margins etc from what ive seen XOM and CVX are surprisingly less correlated than people expect during short term oil moves a lot of people use USO even with its flaws because its still closer to the commodity than individual companies. if youre specifically betting on a Hormuz disruption youre basically making an oil price bet not necessarily an oil company bet

SteakEater137

It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact there’s a huge oil bottleneck that has driven barrel price up at least 50%, and yet oil stocks like XOM and CVX are flat or even below their price at the start of the war. Who knew stacking ceasefire rumors could be so effective? Its more peaceful than actual peace.

RandomRocketScience

On SPY? AI bulltrain is super strong, no idea if this is gonna work. Personally Im long BNO (long common, short cash secured puts), and MCL contracts, if you want to trade futures. You might get better risk/reward buying XOM or CVX. Oil is ripping violently up and down, but every analyst forcasts at least $90 until EOY, so those should have limited downside, considering they are profitable at $60ish a barrel. This is either the most obvious trade the market does not seem to see, or Im just a regarded permabear. Size carefully.

Opposite_Day_9771

Buy CNQ, XOM, CVX, COP and collect divys. Not sexy but will win in the long run. This is a Mexican standoff investment.

Purple_Bearkat

December 2025: I believe oil is oversold and take a position in OXY and CVX. 2026: Venezuela, oil pops. A little. Then the unthinkable, Iran and the US enter a war and the Gay of Hormuz closes. Seemingly indefinite To date (6 months of a correct hypothesis; CVX up approximately 19%. ) Conversely: randomly choose to buy a fucking space meme stock a week ago, up 48% ASTS.

SteakEater137

Uhh can someone explain why energy stocks are dumping today, when they already dumped last week on multiple “deal hours away” fake stories that were definitively proven to be wrong? XOM and CVX are both lower price now than before the war even started, while a shoe company turned “AI” is still up over 30% in the same time frame. I honestly don’t understand how that’s possible lol

Erazyboy

More explosions in the Strait of Hormuz, tankers are blowing up, oil is about to reach the pumps... The bears are still opening short positions saying 'this time it's definitely a recession' 😂 Brother, while Iran is setting another ship on fire every day, you're still crying 'we're at rock bottom'. I'm watching the energy sector, XOM and CVX will surge soon. The bears will get screwed in these explosions too, classic.

BlownCamaro

In 2020 when the price of a barrel of oil went NEGATIVE, I loaded up on $CVX, $RDS.A (that was the ticker then) and $XOM. Ask me how I retired early again.

TheOriginalBushToad

This is why I held on to my CVX poot leaps...

burner456987123

Insurance like ALL or PGR (PGR is 15% of my portfolio). Pharma like JNJ or Merck. PFE has a nice dividend. everyone oughta have an energy stock of some sort like CVX, XOM, or just buy the XLE etf. Hold something outside the us like EWZ or EWC. I think this AI event is a wave, like Josh brown said. It’ll end like everything does, but you’ve gotta ride it.

Pikminmania2

What oil stocks are mooning? XOM, CVX, all goin up by like 3%

000FenderBender

This Iran war thing also far from over. Oil pulled back today. Might swing calls on CVX tmr

Clackamas_river

If oil goes even close to that full port into CVX.

shit_ape_from_hell

CVX lifting off like a rocket is a sign of a nearing nuclear strike on iran I am telling you

Deathb3rry

i legit just random bought CVX after realising inflation readings are finally arrived. Speaking of, what are the key differences between CVX, XOM & BP an investor should take note of?

ImJoeontheradio

Started a new job yesterday and missed a $700 day trade on CVX. So far, going to work has cost me money.

RD_006

CVX and other oil tickers are not speculation and growth tools, first of all. Volatility can rip u a new one. Unless u're looking for solid dividends, keep out of it.

Noxta_

is it MU/INTC time again yet? I wanna get ome CVX calls too but not right before taco tuesday

Aggressive_Deer_7072

Honestly people only remember oil exists once gas prices start punching them in the face lol. I still watch stuff like XOM, CVX, and some Canadian names honestly. Whole sector feels hated until suddenly everyone remembers these companies print cash during supply scares.

Nuclear Fusion.   GFUZ is a pure play.   Also, from Google:  Corporate Backers: Major tech and energy companies are the primary financial backers of private fusion startups. You can gain indirect exposure by investing in companies like Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which invests in TAE Technologies; Chevron (NYSE: CVX), which backs Zap Energy; and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), which has partnerships with Commonwealth Fusion Systems.

Have small position in software decent position in oil BNO CVX SU. Added a few SPY puts yesterday took a small trim after hours on them.

charon-the-boatman

These are all major changes reported yesterday from major institutional fund managers; * **Delta Air Lines (DAL):** Berkshire Hathaway made a massive return to airlines, dropping **$2.65B** to build a 39.8M share stake in Delta—reversing Buffett's 2020 pandemic exit. * **Alphabet (GOOGL):** Berkshire aggressively tripled its stake in Google's parent company, adding **36.4M shares** to make it their 7th largest holding ($15.6B total). * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square bought the dip after MSFT's early-year pullback, establishing a massive new **5.65M share** flagship position. * **Amazon (AMZN) & Entertainment:** Berkshire completely exited its legacy positions in **Amazon** and trimmed down its consumer stakes to consolidate firepower. * **Visa (V), Mastercard (MA), & UnitedHealth (UNH):** Berkshire liquidated its entire stake in these financial and healthcare giants, reducing its total stock count from 42 down to 29. * **Alphabet (GOOG):** Bill Ackman aggressively gutted his existing Google position, cutting it down to just over 311k shares. * **Chevron (CVX):** Berkshire took massive profits on energy, dumping roughly **$8 billion** worth of Chevron shares after it hit all-time highs in March. Yes it's true, I have used AI to help me make this list.

MrMonday11235

This makes about as much sense as trying to inverse EVs after reading "they're going to kill gas guzzlers" and buying CVX and XOM. >I still bought software. MSFT/PANW/ORCL make up the most amount of IGV, which means they are software - just the part that doesn’t suck like ADBE. It's almost like when people say "AI will kill software", they don't mean all software everywhere. But what do I know, I'm just some dope expecting a baseline of literacy on r/wsb.

Happy-Champion1661

yeah that's true. Tbf Delta didn't even do bad, especially compared to other airlines stonks. It's basically just flat / near ATH At least they took some profits on CVX I guess

PseudoTsunami

He sold conventional energy like XOM, CVX in 2024 and dumped it all in AESI, which was way down in 2025. It's already doubled in 2026 so he may be at the top of the list next year,

alreadysharpened

CVX is better

Outrageous_Tip_2133

I just noticed Chevron (CVX). What a stock it has been over the past year with almost a 4% dividend yield as well. Did they just get lucky with the Maduro ouster and the whole Venezuela situation? Rarely will you see a stock perform so well with such a high dividend yield.

Admirable_Nothing

I have both XOM and CVX. I prefer XOM but most would likely prefer CVX. Big, low PE, dividend payer not exciting but particularly given the ME situation if their is a crash it might be because of that and hence the energy companies would suffer or certainly wouldn't suffer as much. Buffett preferred OXY but they are very US centered and I like the international exposure.

Salty-Bid1597

US Oil cos aren't up nearly enough. Global supply chains are shifting from gulf to US oil and prices aren't going down. Do I FOMO into XOM or CVX?

alreadysharpened

CVX

bobber18

I’ve been so lucky. I always believed that investment diversity is for suckers. I’ve been heavy in Google, Apple, Akami, Nvidia, Amazon, and energy (CVX and PBR-A). The payoffs are mind-blowing.

Wide-Contribution-29

I sold all my XLE as soon the first fake ceasefire was announced, and then after recent earnings, both XOM and CVX dumped

ElkQuiet1541

why are oil stocks (CVX) continuing to crash? they are now even cheaper than before the war... nothing in this market makes sense

eternalpuer

Dude so real. us has good reason to be pissed but Europe, Asia, Australia etc. absolutely no clue this shit was gonna happen but now they’re getting the worst of it. I keep reflecting on the timing of Venezuela (I know they’re crude is heavy/sour or whatever but CVX and other Us refineries are probably super happy to process that shit) followed by the Iran shit

TheEagleDied

Some good dd on this Reddit for once. You should like CVX for similar reasons.

First-Hotel4694

I've been doing put spreads on CVX for about a month now with success so far. Not as ambitious as you are as I stay much further out and trade more often waiting for the stock to pull back before placing my trade. I try to limit my risk and have traded out and down selling my protection to finance the trade at a profit or it that looks to risky I close out the position which so far I haven't had to do.

traderbusto

I need CVX to spike up Sunday so I can buy some slip-resistant shoes for my new dishwasher job

Pitiful_Bedroom_6619

why is $CVX down ?

zg44

They made bad hedges. (Seriously, XOM and CVX in particular put up a bunch of hedges that backfired in the short term due to the Iran war; they would have been better just selling at market price after the price spike).

WiseDragonfruit6942

CVX and XOM up tomorrow?

sdanielsmith

USO? Or specific stocks. I sold a lot of mine because COP reported yesterday, and XOM/CVX report in the morning. Even if oil is up, markets might not handle earnings right. I'll buy back in once the dust settles.

I have very low risk tolerance. Only looking for super cheap options. Was able to get AAPL, CVX, and XOM and they were all a fraction of RDDT

WallStreetThreats_

Market so manipulated on oil rn that it feels like XOM & CVX could go either way on earnings tomorrow despite the overall picture

CVX calls are about to print for me hopefully, gonna sell my buy in before earnings and let the rest ride

Thinking XOM and CVX calls with oil so high. Hopefully easy money.

There is money to be made even being a bull on a red day. You just need to choose a bit different Hope someone listened to my advice of buying CVX & UNH today morning.....

Synccopt

I think both CVX and XOM are cooked in the earnings ngl. The timing of the Iran war actually fucked them over because they had to sell for the cheap pre-decided price. Unless the market decides that they should go up anyway because the oil prices will be high for a while.

WeMoveInTheShadows

Aren't US oil giants like XOM. CVX, EOG, COP, OXY all going to massively benefit from this over the next 6 months? Is it expected their stocks will surge with the downturn in Gulf supply?

Robo_Patton

Bring back horses . Combine with bicycle power. Plant the rows from horse+bicycle+ they shit into rows (manure). Whaling, for blubber. Burn blubber for fuel. Markets not irrational. Your lack of solutions is. CHDN / HUF / CVX = horsies / necromancy for bikes / Chevron pivot to wale hunting callsx3

Clackamas_river

CVX is nice

uvallie

Gave up on USO for anything beyond swing trades ages ago for the exact spread reason you mentioned. XOM and CVX is where I ended up most of the time. for pure oil exposure what worked better than ETFs for me was XOP or OIH which are the producers and services baskets, still index flavored but way more liquid than USO on the options side. XOP in particular has tight spreads at weekly strikes. USO has the contango drag on top of bad option liquidity so even when your call IS right directionally the fund can lag crude by a surprising amount over a few weeks, not a fun surprise if you are holding anything out to 30 or 60 dte. if you want the pure oil view and are ok with futures, /MCL is worth looking at since its 1/10 the notional of /CL so way less buying power needed per contract.

TheEagleDied

VM If/when the price of oil reaches $200 a barrel, what kind of an effect will this have on CVX?

Unlucky-Present6686

Spreads in USO can sometimes be very ugly. For better execution and to be on top of market tightness, everyone heads where the volume lies, and that would probably be XLE, CVX, or XOM, which have substantially better liquidity when trading options – even though it’s not necessarily a pure play. Another trick might be taking out slightly longer expiries and perhaps slightly ITM. It’s probably easier to execute a spread in that scenario. The futures market is cleanest, though obviously risk profile would change dramatically. However, if one must trade an option spread, it boils down to liquidity.

Michael_Hernandez_20

CVX looking interesting here. Stochastic in oversold territory, near lower Bollinger band, and Brent crude spiking on Strait of Hormuz tensions. Entered at $185 targeting $194.

ImJoeontheradio

Oil jumps about 6%, so NVDA is green and CVX is red. Why do I try? I used to make more money when I picked stocks based on the number of rocket emojis in the DD on this sub.

Wide-Idea1592

I’m a 21m who’s had about a year of stock trading experience (SPX +20% so far), who would like some advice on my portfolio from some more advanced traders. I’m an American citizen currently paying through a pretty exclusive and expensive double major drama + international business program, and this is my college fund, so my purchases are somewhat short term. With that in mind I don’t do options trading since I can’t afford to lose the funds. Here’s what I own, and my rationale: 83.6k total in assets 7 shares SPY: Index Diversification from VOO and VTI, have held for about a year which has resulted in good profit. I probably would sell it and change for VOO at this point, but I don’t want to pay taxes on my gains yet. 34 shares GLD: I bought into GLD on the most recent dip because I wanted to diversify my portfolio. GLD essentially replaced the position of bonds in my portfolio. 21 shares VTI + 11 shares VOO: these are pretty self explanatory 37 shares CVX: I bought CVX at the beginning of the Iran crisis but never cashed in the gains (which I probably should have), so I’ve just decided to hold long term. 52 shares NFLX: Just added this to my portfolio Friday night since from what I can tell it got oversold after news of the co-founder leaving dropped. I have a sell order place for a as soon as the stock recovers back to 108. 2 shares DIA: same situation as SPY NVDA: this isn’t pictured because I don’t own any shares right now, but I had about 8k in NVDA I profit took at 201.80, and plan on buying back in around 185 when it dips again. I’m holding about 30k in cash with 3.5% APY on this Webull account as well for security. Also have a Roth IRA where I have 6k in VOO. That account is super long term. Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

Sold NVDA, bought CVX.

CVX recovering.... 🤔

Buy energy stocks, XOM OXY CVX. Don’t forget that Cuba is next.

b_fellow

Glad I closed my meme positions in CVX and XOM

Ill_Jackfruit8113

Top might be in I sold my amd calls I kinda don’t want to switch over to puts so what you guys think about CVX XOM and OXY calls

Crystal-Powell

I think the thesis makes sense on the surface, but I’d be careful with how much of it is already priced in. Oil names (XOM, CVX, etc.) tend to move more on global demand expectations than short-term geopolitical headlines. If the Hormuz situation escalates, you could see a spike in crude, but historically those spikes fade pretty quickly unless there’s actual supply disruption. Bull case: Higher crude prices → improved margins for upstream producers Potential re-rating if energy sentiment shifts again Bear case: Demand slowdown (especially if macro weakens) Oil spikes get sold into once the initial panic fades Energy already had a strong run, so upside may be more limited vs expectations Personally I wouldn’t go “all in” here scaling in or just taking partial exposure through something like XLE makes more sense to me.

butthead4206969

Bear case is that the war ends, oil drops and takes oil stocks down with it. But XOM and CVX pay dividends (not sure about the rest), so you might consider that. I own Exxon and I never plan on selling, in fact I’m still buying, simply because they pay dividends.

zacky1001

CVX call

MegalodonBite

Chevron said they needed much higher than 3 dollars a a gallon for it to be useful. Funny how the Iran war is giving CVX what they need to use Venezuelan oil. Houston has similar poor quality oil as Venezuela.

sirzoop

yeah they have to buy from america now which is why XOM and CVX are up so much right now

GailaMonster

is that because domestic oil is expensive, so the more expensive oil is generally, the more it's "worth it" for domestic operations? i can't imagine expensive energy is good for ALL american companies. your examples were just two OIL companies, man. that frankly feels disingenuous - everything except domestic oil producers are stuck paying insane energy prices. all i'm hearing is it makes sense to be bullish for american OIL AND GAS companies. your comment does nothing to explain why the market broadly is ignoring reality. Helium is crucial for data centers. one third of the world's helium comes from Qatar. guess what can't exit the straight right now? Qatari helium. Data centers consume a ton of energy, too. just because insane energy prices enrich XOM and CVX doesn't translate to "bullish for american companies" what the hell.

sirzoop

oil supply shock is very bullish for american companies. look at XOM and CVX. they are on pace to become trillion dollar companies if these oil prices stay higher for longer

PrizeInterest4314

also picked up some CVX.

Clackamas_river

Calls on CVX.

PriorityVegetable795

Oil penny stocks just seem to all have issues. EONR, TPET, KOS, PROP (ew), WTI?, REI (almost no volume) Each of these have something going on with them and they also don't seem to track oil pricing. It seems to be manipulated also so that the big oil stocks (XOM, OXY, CVX) do well. I'm not well educated, just the experience from when Venezuela situation began, to now.

aronnax512

Yep, CVX and SHEL have the best long term positions among the supermajors.

Livueta_Zakalwe

CVX. Least exposure to ME.

FEMA_Camp_Survivor

That was the best time to buy oil stocks. CVX hit $50 and XOM was in the 30s. Be greedy when others are fearful indeed. 

Silent_Speed8663

YOu put your words, into Trumps words and actions, interpreting what Trump said to be stuff like, "now Iran building a weapon is good", so its no wonder you are confused. You twisted/spun his words to fit your agenda and wonder why it makes no sense. Putting your bias into others words is like a hammer looking at a stick of dynamite, and wondering what it would like driven into a board. Of course it makes no sense. We are not privy to every step of the war..every country in the world gets our news. We wont know what is happening until it happens. As Buffet may say, "you need to know what you know, and what you dont know". And we can only speculate on the outcome of this war. Instead of gambling "who will win the next superbowl", focus on the stuff we do know. We probably know where the next superbowl will be held , but we wont have much of an idea "who" will be in it for months and months. So, accept the stuff you know. Right now oil is soaring. Buffet bought CVX and Oxy oil. That was a safe play..we already know AI is gonna be using a lot of energy. And, we know that our power grid cant handle a massive incoming on more new companies being located to the USA, and more AI data centers as well. So, I liked his energy picks, and bought some cvx myself at 150 per share. I also like midstream and added to my EPD, which was also good. Dont try to gamble on the super bowl winner, but you can probably be sure the city where it will be held will get some very nice revenue from the superbowl, and invest accordingly.

MegalodonBite

Connecting the dots - CVX (Chevron) needed higher gas prices to improve liquidity per your post. They now have higher gas prices for the next 1-2yrs based on the damage caused already in the middle east. Thus - OIL / LNG looks like a strong bet for the next 1-5yrs.

ManBearPig_1983

So CVX calls?

double-beans

In this environment, energy producers and infrastructure are a good safe hedge. There are companies that operate the energy infrastructure like a toll-booth. Whatever the price of energy is, they get a cut. So their stock price rises on bad news surrounding the strait of Hormuz. Energy producers like COP, CVX, VLO, FANG, CRAK Energy infrastructure tollbooth like KMI, AEP, WMB, EPD This strategy should help counter any losses you’ll get in the tech sector for the next coming months.

No_Inspection649

CVX up 2%. I may get my losses back from TACO.

Opposite_Day_9771

You buy the dip when you think the market is wrong. I bought CVX today.

tdoger

Yeah, Chevron especially is positioned to be swimming in cash in the next 6-12months, assuming oil prices stay slightly elevated $70+ per barrel. Im holding my CVX a bit longer

usobeta1000

Near-term inflation expectations popping usually means rates stay higher longer. That's a headwind for high-multiple stuff (NVDA, TSLA) and a tailwind for energy names (XOM, CVX). That said futures are up 1000 with the 2 week truce
