Honestly selling puts on XOM and generating premium wouldn’t be unreasonable. Worst case scenario you get assigned, this all goes back to normal, and you’re just holding a blue chip Dino stock. I went long XOM. USO tracks futures and is more volatile and forward looking.
Really? Right in front of my XOM calls?!
XOM, BRKB, and gold all did well
XOM puts 3 months out from now is diabolical
XOM puts? Lmao you saw the short interest piling up and went for it without a clue didn’t you.
my dude XOM is posting consistent ATHs throw in the towel
Hmm if you’re trading on American exchanges (unlikely) I’d say anything oil, my guess is small caps will have biggest upside but even way overvalued stuff like XOM is going to continue to make big moves this week. The question is will it precede or proceed a pullback tomorrow?
I mean XOM could have been both looking at its 3M trend, earnings and the Tacometer, but Visa...WTF is this play?
I’ve come back from being down this much on options. I have more faith in XOM than Visa
im with you, USO call up, XOM, VG, GUSH down. hao sway
Was that the top for XOM?
Because it is unusual for oil companies to not follow the direction of oil futures. I've been trading these since before this war even began. Certain ones have more correlation (like OXY) and some less (XOM, CVX) but there's absolutely no fucking reason they should be red or barely green today after pumping 2-3% on open
I just moved into XOM....so the war will end tomorrow...
CVX and XOM should be going the other way.
I just dumped a bunch of XOM I've owned since $42. Yeah boyyyyy!
Its also in the interest of oil companies and defense contractors like Boeing. Look at XOM stock for example.
Can we short tf out of CVX XOM OXY bring all these fks down for ONE week ?
For how long r u planning to hold the the situation could flip any moment I sold my XOM today
Fed rate cut pause + oil at $115 is the actual bear thesis that doesn't get enough attention. Historically when energy spike is supply-driven (Hormuz) rather than demand-driven, the Fed can't cut without risking entrenching inflation. That's the stagflation trap. 1970s playbook not 2020. Insider buying in energy names (XOM, CVX execs accumulating over last 3 weeks per SEC disclosures) vs insider selling in tech suggests smart money sees the energy shock as prolonged not transient. Futures contango through 2027 says the same. Bullish energy/defense. Cautious on rate-sensitive tech until Hormuz fully reopens.
The energy sector positioning is the tell here. In the weeks before the Hormuz closure, defense and energy insider buying was already elevated — XOM, CVX, RTX execs were accumulating, not distributing. SEC disclosures were public. The market is pricing a short-duration shock. WTI contango steep through 2027 suggests futures markets see prolonged disruption, not a quick resolution. A 15-point list being mostly agreed doesn't move oil futures much if the structural Hormuz risk stays unresolved. The asymmetric trade isn't betting on a deal; it's watching what energy insiders do in the next 48 hours. If they start selling, the market is right to rally. If accumulation continues, futures are pricing this more accurately than equities.
XOM shot up so fast my limit buy never had a chance.
XOM is the new MU
SPY, DXY, USO, XOM, and GLD are all up bigly. Get fucked, bers.
PFE 1yr chart is looking like XOM did before the war. When’s the new disease going to come out?
Didn't Iran already impose a[ $2M transit fee](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/stocks/XOM/pressreleases/932135/iran-imposes-up-to-2m-transit-fees-on-ships-in-strait-of-hormuz/) on ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz? Assuming all the added costs get past down the chain, you can bet your ass prices aren't going to dip anytime soon.
my sources actually tell me it is up already, where are you getting your info? XOM is up like 1.66%, LITE 2%, APLD 2.57%.
I bought XOM at $60 awhile back. Wish I bought more of it.
A bit late on the oil plays. XOM and Chevron have almost doubled their stock price in the last year.
Not at the same ratio. The price of oil can at times like these be very volatile day to day. The price of something like XOM cares more about where oil prices will be over longer time frame than a single day.
XOM and chill for the next 9 months
I'm continuing to buy. Worked well for me in 2008, 2016, and 2021. XOM dropped to $50 in 2021. I loaded up.
Generally hard as most companies in the S&P are a mix of different sectors, so there is underlying risk each sector. However, if you look into the forensics of companies, you can find a true MOAT that can deviate outside of the market. For example, I see a lot of debate about energy, but some energy stocks are down, some are up. XOM was at around 160 before the war and is now at 170 despite the small move in contrast the oil prices. All companies have macro volatility as a large risk, and its more so how can you reduce your drawdowns and generate alpha over more-so just wanting to find a stock with a negative beta.
IXC AMLP OILK even XOM but there is the issue of their middle eastern assets (not sure what % of total revenue)
If you're looking for gas leverage, I'd look at EQT or AR over Chevron/XOM. The majors are basically oil + buybacks. EQNR is interesting too, but it's more of a macro bet than a pure E&P ripper.
Nice Multi Asset Portfolio you have there, I like it! I also like the SPY and chill approach, although I did prefere global diversification with a slight EM vs. DM overweight, such as 70% World + 30% EM. EM performed really well the last year, benefiting from strong growth after multiple weak years (esp. CHN) and a weak dollar. However, I do see things slightly changing from here if the war in the far east keeps going. If it keeps going, it will slow overall growth and hurt Non-US equities even more, especially Europe. Gold was benefitted from a weakening dollar combined with global uncertainty, but right now we are seeing a flight to safety in the US dollar, hence a strengthening of it again, which hurts real assets and equities. If your timespan is still 5-10+ years, I wouldn't change much, maybe even allocate a little more towards equities if this goes down even more. If you want a short term tatical play and reduce overall portfolio risk (!!!), you could get some exposure towards energy (without selling your other positions), since stocks such as XOM, CVE, COP are currently negatively correlated to the overall market and positively correlated to oil. Even if oil doesn't go up and stays in the current range, it would keep hurting equities and be beneficial for energy stocks, since all models currently are pricing in lower oil prices in H2 '26 and 2027. No financial advice of course.
I wish XOM could calm down so I can buy back in
Stat wise most stocks are at ATHs?? Not sure where this lie was told to you. The whole market is red but a couple sectors, he's literally talking about the cream of the crop oil wise. It's not like he's debating selling Roku, Sats, or TTD. The 1 industry in a chokehold that everyone must have, that just happens to be extremely shareholder friendly. They were going up quite a bit at 60 a barrel, who knows how high it'll go now. Kathy Hollub(sp?) the CEO for Oxy has said for 2 years str8 there would be major oil shortages eoy 25-mid 26. I'm guessing you've been buying for quite a while, let the compounding work it's magic. If you want to generate extra income by using said holdings, there's all kinda ways to do that I'm sure you are aware of. Congrats!! Really, a great long term buy and hold. Me, personally, I wouldn't sell until you know the whole scenerio is changing. You have the upper hand rt now, play the longer game and watch the YOC grow and next earnings will produce unprecedented profits for XOM. Why cut them here?!? When their likely the MVP. That's like playing FFB and sitting your top scorer. Gl with your decision but I don't see much to debate
Why would you sell now?? They are one of the biggest beneficiaries of all this stuff going on. They pay a nice yield, are shareholder friendly, buybacks etc. Most importantly the current oil prices are being held down based on reserves and so forth. The best is yet to come. I'm not sure how many shares you have and cost basis, but I'd see no reason to let go of this gold mine at this point. Enjoy your rewards for being positioned in probably the best shareholder friendly Oil company on the planet my guy. I'm not saying you should continue to DRIP at these prices, but the true fallout of all that has been done isn't even close to showing where we could go with XOM as a whole. Whats your YOC at this point? Is this holding in a tax deferred acct, roth, or brokerage?? Either way, congrats on your nice play...
I think there's still some room to run. I like SM and XOM. Exxon has tailwinds from helium as well, not sure how much difference that will make.
I have VDE which has large holdings in XOM and CVX
Yeah, been in XOM and DVN for a while, feels weird seeing green candles in this market for once. Just gotta remember oil rips both ways though. Enjoy the gains but don’t marry it, this thing can turn on a headline or OPEC sneeze.
During the Covid low I bought shares in Parsley Energy. They were bought by Pioneer Natural Resources, which paid a dividend over 8%, which was sweet. A couple years later they were bought by XOM, that's why I own it, cost basis $30 a share. Holding.
I’ve just been buying XOM and UCO calls. Working out for me
Honestly nbd. Down like 5% but most of that came from a large RDDT position (~8%) at a very high CA and I’m just going to DCA it right now. XOM and CVX— large positions (15%) since 2019— absurdly ripping compared to my CA which is negating much of everything else.

Buy XOM, HAL, SLB, RTX, CVX, GD, and LMT. These are free money after shit that is about to happen this weekend.
PLTR, PSX, NVDA,XOM,Qcom
You're right! I sometimes think I can trade on the short term market pulls....tariffs, war, random TACO announcements...but I always fear I'll make a mistake. But when I see my MPC, XOM, and even NEE shoot up in this environment, I regret not shifting some of my other holdings and take advantage of the spikes. Totally shoulda sold SOFI #25 but we didn't know Iran would happen. Shits happening way too fast....
Im honored you think its fake 🥹, it wasn't fake, that monday after Maduro was captured i bought those and XOM and RIG
Buy XOM, HAL, SLB, RTX, CVX, GD, and LMT. War will pay massive returns Monday
Buy XOM, HAL, SLB, RTX, CVX, GD, and LMT. These are free money after shit that is about to happen shit weekend.

Yeah, I bought XOM at 48 then. Sigh. Good times.
Don’t be a puss. Calls on XOM gonna make me the new Saudi King by Tuesday.
I remember CVX at $50 and XOM in the thirties. Oil counts be given away. I thought “well that’s stupid”. I’m looking for that sort of panic.
Buy USO, XOM or XLE and chill
Trump is losing control of the narrative in the media. Buy XOM, HAL, SLB, RTX, CVX, GD, and LMT. 15k boots on the ground tomorrow. He needs something fucking crazy to happen. These will go up.
look into XOP if you want pure oil beta without paying XOM prices, it moves way harder on crude swings. FANG is another one worth watching, smaller than the majors but cleaner leverage to the move
Just went deep on XOM, HAL, SLB, RTX, CVX, GD, and LMT. 15k boots on the ground tomorrow. Dump Monday.
I sold my SPY puts way too soon, and my XOM calls way too soon. Even when I make money, I'm still regarded.
If XOM and CVX feel overextended, traders often look at mid-cap E&P companies or oil service stocks (like SLB or HAL), which can show higher beta and volatility. Since you're targeting delta, watch for price consolidation near support levels rather than chasing peaks.
Plays that made me money last few weeks COP XOM Buying SPY puts
I use trade triggers to protect profits and have held a lot of XOM and VTV long term for dividend income so am still in the green YTD.
OXY has joint ventures in Oman, Qatar and Iraq XOM has joint ventures in Qatar and Saudi Arabia CVX has joint ventures in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia Market is betting that these companies are benefiting from high crude prices but won't suffer permanent damage to their Middle East investments. US capture of Iranian land or destruction of Iranian oil and gas facilities will likely lead to increased targeting of Arabian Gulf energy facilities. Depending on how campaign goes, it could become a net negative to them, though so far their stocks have been going up due to higher crude prices.
I agree. I doubled down on USO, XOM, CVX, LNG, EQT. Futures are driving oil prices today, but the fireworks begin when tankers stop arriving.
Uhmm...GE WMT and XOM are all almost at ATHs regardless of their ''loss of dominance''...
AI software names in general are being sold off because there’s so much concentration in hardware names with all the current macro risk. You sell what you own most of. Look at NVDA. It’s “cheap” relative to XOM, and has been cheap for about a year now. We just need more time to get over this Iran hump, but trying to time this with options is retarded
Nah scarcity is real. I’m sitting on XOM gains with a $35 cost basis. I don’t feel good about it because the cause of it being so high is stupid.
XOM and CVX are both up >10% and COP is up 20%. Does that correspond to $75?
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XOM/ Up +40% in six months and he only managed to make 10%? Maybe our politicians really are that bad.
Honestly it will drop a bit then jump further in either direction depending on how they do. If they take lharg island I imagine that it will be positive, if the marines get decimated I would expect a 10-20% drop across the market.. Also if Iran destroys all of the infrastructure on Kharg island like they irgc says they will.. well my XOM call is gonna keep mooning like it has since before Venezuela
Missed out on XOM on Monday, but buying tomorrow!
XOM, when it went to $155 yesterday I bought 160-165 calls and I wasn’t expecting them to hit today but, that’s how you secretly play🥹
I buy XOM. OXY. VG. RTX.
Is it time to short XOM
Imagine I bought XOM 5 years ago when it was the laughing stock of Reddit and you idiots were telling me to buy QYLD LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
XOM, CVX, and SHEL. There's a lot of upside to all of them if crude prices stay at the current range for a few months.
My XOM puts are decimated
I mean also put into some things with dividends. Chevron and XOM KMI even when down still pay out monthly or quarterly but a good money market account is awesome too. Idk why people are gambling but I’m seeing the same thing with these silver and gold people as well. Get rich quick guys.
3 months should be fairly good. Long term (years is iffy). But it is up about 280% over the last 5 years. What the next 5 years will hold is never guarateed. But their management is superb in that industry, and they are constantly growing organically, and through acquisition, and increase their dividend every year. An investor friend of mine has owned XOM and reinvesed dividends for 40-50 years and he's afraid to tell me how much he has made :):):):):). (My guess +$10-15M. Personally I don't own the stock itself, but I have Yieldmax Covered Call Options on the Stock (ticker: XOMO) which have done great this year. And the Fund Ticker is up \~14% itself YTD. Those CCO funds are not for eveyone so studying and picking the stablest funds is important, but I've studied and continue to study them closely on an ongoing basis and XOMO has been one of their best ones this year with the rise in oil prices. GDXY (a GDX CCO) ""was"" also great, but got hammered with the fall off in Gold over the last 2 weeks. It's recoved quite a bit today, but I'm not in it for now. If the middle east war finally calms down and Gold reverses up again that one will pay out nice weekly dividends. But having said all this, do your homework. Good luck now.
I think XOM is a good candidate.... currently (largest Oil in the world). Look at the chart. tight gap up/down history and nice dividends (2.6%). At minimum for 3 months but likely longer with the Straight of Hormuz situation. Up an average of 10%/month this year. Wouldn't need a large Trailing stop either (4% might be enough) as its not a springy stock.
You're right, I should have done tldr. Basically yes, the U.S. and Canadian oil producers. I mentioned four in my post, EOG, SM, FANG, DVN, but the really big players will be worthwhile too, XOM, COP. We saw this in the 1970s. Even as the rest of the market goes to hell, these guys will be raining money.
yeah I get that XOM has been one of those names that just quietly keeps working I’ve been liking it for the same reason, not a lot of drama, just steady
XOM is my favorite stock. It only goes up
I thought XOM would be a good short today. Turns out. It was not.
