CVX (300b mktcap) and XOM (500b mktcap) are up about 10% on the event, what the hell do you mean they're nothingburgers lmao. Look at almost any defense stock in just the past 2 weeks. "Certain sectors" is what investing is, yeah. Knowing how "certain sectors" will go up is how you make money. If you keep calling them nothingburgers and wondering why the needle on SPY isn't moving much, you're just leaving money on the table. And if you're only bulling your ass off at SPY without any macro on sectors, it only takes a consecutive couple of WSB style plays to zero your port when the needle moves against your logic. You'll find that the needle makes a lot more sense when you look at individual sectors, per my comment above.
Huh, interesting. I'm jacked to the teets on GDX/SLV/XOM strangles into 1/30 so any movement is good movement.
Got a XOM 133c/127p strangle with post ER expiry cuz I thought his stupid deed of the week(end) would be bombing Iran. Now I'm wondering how trade war escalations are gonna affect oil.
Going to be tough to find an OFS company such that GY makes up 30%+ of their revenue. Could go FPSO/infra route but those are mostly Asian countries. XOM obv being the operator but they exposed to other projects as well obv
Got a few XOM/GDX/SLV calls just in case 👌🏽

XOM flying. Got in at $120. Wish I bought more
Yup I guess it’s just like XOM said the largest reserve on Earth is uninvestable
They still have the same government. Do they not? Armed gangs even more powerful.and in countol of the country. XOM CEO called the country uninvestible. So what exactly did the UIS get? Don't give me that crap about 'FrEaDoM' either. Gonna end up like Iraq.

XOM! Venezuela noise alongside political unrest/spike in oil prices will send oil up up up
Agreed. It was the XOM CEO saying to his face that Vz is uninvestable. Ordinarily I would say easy long /CL below $56.5 but this is a strange situation. We have yet to see any of the big boys bend over for 🥭usually it’s the other way around.
I feel like just a bit of context is important here: XOM and COP have zero exposure to Venezuela, VLO and PSX only buy it for their refineries, but they can easily switch to Canadian and Mexican heavy sour. CVX is the only one who is actually producing in Venezuela, but it is <5% of their worldwide production. In general, the US oil industry gives about a tiny fraction of a fuck about Venezuela.
I think this what most others have said - definitely a high tide coming for infrastructure, energy build out, and all energy sources. I just wish some shop - maybe ARK - would launch a "Future Energy Innovation" ETF. It could still hold things like XOM, CVX, LNG, OKE etc but would also have sort of a best of IFRA, EINC, FUTY, FIDU, CTEC, ICLN. Kind of the next wave of energy infrastructure, which appears will be needed after AI gets incorporated into all aspects of business.
>If Trump provides security guarantees and financial incentives When has this taco literally EVER paid anyone back? like lmao Also XOM just called Venezuela "uninvestable" while CVX said 18-24 months to up their production in a meaningful amount. (per Javier Blas twitter)
Oil companies have huge capex costs. Look at the profit margins of say XOM which is 9% vs AVGO which is 36%. A general thought is that any investments by oil will take a decade to break even which is why oil companies want guarantees from the US if they are going to move into Venezuela.
This is some weapons-grade copium my guy, Venezuela isn't getting invaded and XOM isn't going to $200 in a month lmao Also bro really said "captured Maduro like it was Call of Duty" 💀
Exxon has higher sales: * XOM: $324B * NVDA: $187B But obviously NVDA has higher profit margins.
#TLDR --- Ticker: XOM Direction: Up 🚀 Prognosis: Buy Jan/Feb $140C - $160C Catalyst: Trump yeeted Maduro to give Exxon the oil keys Wife's Boyfriend: Approved
It's true that restarting oil production in Venezuela would cost a lot of money, but people also seem to forget how much money oil companies make. Income: * XOM: $29B * CVX: $12B * COP: $8B Versus: * AVGO: $23B * TSLA: $5B
XOM better do a rocket ship today after I decided to buy calls on it instead of AVGO yesterday I’m retarded
If there’s oil in Venezuela, then just send $XOM up 50% so at least we can make some money
Feels like CVX and XOM found another Venezuela
120 long strike call debit spreads, so if XOM goes above 120 I'll have positive theta. Couldn't get any premium selling put spreads

Venezula has heavy sour crude that is exactly what our refineries use. To understand the longer term effects, I think it's important to understand the move for Venezuela. IMO, the move for Venezula was likely 2 fold. 1. Venezula was selling their oil to China (something like 80% of it) for cheap. China gave them a bunch of loans during the GFC and Venezula uses the oil to pay them back. Cool, so by stopping that shipment, the makes energy more expensive in China. Cheap energy generally equals faster economic growth. That leads to the 2nd point. Cheaper sour crude means lower energy costs in America, which a big part of what Trump needs for midterms. Affordability will likely be the big topic, and Trump will continue to push the agenda that gas prices are low. You can see that right now in conservative subreddits too. It also puts the screws a little to Canada which probably has some benefit to those doing the negotiations up north as a 3rd point. Long term, as US oil companies get down there and improve drilling capacities, the refineries here in the Gulf region likely win first. Less reliance on Canadian crude and likely higher margins on Venezuelan crude. But cheaper oil for US economy means more growth here, so you'll likely see wins in construction and construction adjacent and consumer staples. If you want to bet on oil, I'd say companies like Mara who operate nearly 1.2mbpd in refining capacity because it'll likely improve their margins. XOM has about 600k bpcd capacity in Texas. You could also go XLE, which essentially is XOM and CVX.
Interesting. I mean, CVX is already operating in some capacity down there. But in the near-term, not really sure why any other players would want to invest heavily given the overall demand backdrop. XOM and COP may want to take some stake in the reserves just to add to their overall capacity, but I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on committing any large capital investments. Just a weird situation at the moment lol.
Excluding ETFs, my picks to hold for 20 years would be: GOOGL, JPM, LLY, WMT, XOM.
brooooo why did XOM and CVX drop so much im so cooked right now
I would sell upside calls on XOM and VLO, they’re run up a lot and will likely pull back be going higher if they do. Only Chevron is in Venezuela the rest including XOM aren’t going back anytime soon. They’ve been screwed twice there and didn’t enjoy it.
Why is no one talking about big moves in XOM and CVX on Friday?
Agree except I might say XOM definitely has some interests. Enough that they burned a lot of money challenging CVX in courts for several years. Some suggest they did this just to poke the eye of their competitor and knew they would eventually lose. But it strikes me that the Exxon executives must think they have some rights or opportunities in Venezuela.
Yeah, perhaps. I honestly don't follow $HAL or $SLB anywhere near enough to say on those (see it's ok to admit when you don't understand something enough to make a play on it). I was more laughing at everyone on twitter and the like saying oil futures would gap down hard and Canadian oil companies were doomed. Or that CVX, XOM, BP etc would immediately gain bigly from this. Like 1, the VZ situation is far from settled. 2nd, it would take a shit ton of money and years to start pulling up VZ oil in a meaningful way. 3rd, these companies haven't earmarked any of their money for said venture yet. So when I saw Canadian names like CVE and SU get shit on in early market, I bought and sold in the afternoon for a quick easy day trade lmao. Long term remains murky as VZ is unresolved, Russia/Ukraine is unresolved, and there continues to be musings of going after Iran again.
XOM cvx pbr geo and literally no humans outside of shareholders
Some of the moves don't make sense. Like, I don't think COP or XOM are going to enter or really commit to anything in a meaningful way. But like, CVX already has assets there so they likely will be reclaiming those. Then a few service companies will benefit from the increased CAPEX like HAL and SLB. The CAPEX need is pretty massive from what the reports mention on the overall infrastructure.
I learnt in 2025 that it takes effort to not overthink Trump. He is simple-minded, and he doesn't hold much. And he is hopelessly in love with money. So Venezuela act is about oil, but it is too dumb to be successful for many reasons, unless USA invades, conquers and holds the land, which would be a first in recent times (after WW2). Doing that with a country with a strong national identity and an ability to turn invasion into endless bloodbath is a very dumb thing to consider, even for Trump who is not fond of killing. If was a show of force, of a sort, even if it was not meant to be. What it showed is the era of international law is finally and completely over, and now only force matters. It also showed, in a larger context, that USA (also EU, but that is a later subject) is inclined to carelessly expose themselves to being humiliated militarily, which would have immediate financial and economic consequences, and it doesn't take a grand army to do. So the risks Trump took with this exceed his imagination, but the success of this operation guaranteed the next one will be attempted, with everyone currently preparing hastily for that. China and Russia are not even relevant here - the chance of anything like that done there is exactly zero. But the show of force by USA established this model for China, Russia and anyone else interested in such things - it is now normalised to do that, no one can blame anyone for that now. That will also have financial and economic consequences - the world economy and financial markets are optimised for operation within legal domain, and cannot function otherwise. Oil companies, including XOM, need that too to operate, otherwise any of their sites outside USA is too risky for investment, and the value at risk would require immediate attention from executeves - sell, cut or run, that sort of attention. In this context, any big oil company would do anything to keep distance from the actions that would expose them to such risks. They can find oil elsewhere, but they cannot operate if they are exposed everywhere. Bad for business, very bad for executives' careers.
I'd go one more level up and ask a geophysicist. I'm really close to a former senior research geophysicist at XOM. It's really complex, but the "value" of any crude oil deposits are quite dynamic depending on the upstream, midstream, and downstream processes needed to actually distill it into whatever best use petroleum product is the end goal, and the logistics necessary for actual delivery. The oil sands of Canada are vast, but bitimun is extremely difficult and costly to process into product. Same with the Orinoco Belt. It's low grade and best used for more industrial applications, but not putting gasoline into your tank. In other words, these two reserves need extensive technical infrastructure from the outside to actually get to an end stage deliverable product. Low profit margin Saudi Arabia is the opposite (so is the Permian Basin, to an extent.) it's extremely high grade, very easy to extract and refine, and vertically integrated within the country. High profit margin.
It’s a mixed bag though, other producers like EXE, BP, DVN, and SHEL are down around 5% today Even XOM is barely up despite the news being incredibly positive for them
here comes the V on CVX boys and XOM
I have it for oil exposure for 2026. I wanted either XOM or CVX and chose CVX on new years. I have June $140 calls. I mostly focus on long dated ITM calls
Dusappointed with the XOM pump has to be said. Still now might be the time to sell, before the costs of this become apparent.
I've owned XOM for years, I think this is the speepest I've seen it go up in 2 days...
So we are all gonna pile into HAL, SLB,XOM today at the bell, amirite?!
CVX and XOM - time to spread democracy to oppressed oil in Venezuela
I doubt the run will last. I'm considering selling my CVX and XOM and just buying XLE later on when prices drop again. Oil is very cyclical.
I wouldn’t pay much attention to those moves. Before CVX’s production increases and XOM enters Venezuela, many still unpredictable conditions have to be met. It’s a treacherous journey from here on for these companies if they are to benefit from this.
Dont disagree, though XOM in particular still stand in line to make a fortune.
Friendly reminder that market makers know ALL of the moves you want to make already based on the news this weekend. They know you want CVX and XOM calls and to short crude oil futures. # They’ll let it run for a bit before they cause a severe reversal to trap you, force you to sell so they can **accumulate** more before they truly pump it.
XOM had huge reserves in Venezuela before they nationalised, and has been preparing for regime change ever since
XOM pump very underwhelming, Palantir copetards pretending Maduro capture was *super advanced high tech American superiority*. So ironically all the Venezuela oil theft will do is pump the asset price bubble even more
bers are gonna slap XOM
XOM tomorrow. I’m not even sure if I should wait for a dip in the morning.
I am holding XOM, and reinvesting the dividend. I will sell half if it keeps going. Not sure of my target price anymore. If you are stressing, sell half Monday. In this game you have to keep your head. I know someone who has held Exxon since 1976 and reinvested the divs. They are old and rich now.
Bought $XOM too. And they will sell their souls to make sure that dividend is protected.
XOM at 130 for anyone else?
XOM up 6% and had a spike on Fri before the invasion. No corruption going on there.
Was in XOM and MPC pretty heavily and they are ripping
I'm feeling very good about my XOM purchase in 2024.
It’s basically flat. CVX and XOM the winners
CVX is already up 10% and XOM 6%
Oof thank God I didnt sell my 3000 shares of XOM at the end of the year
My XOM buy 2 Summers ago: prescient.
My $XOM shares just shot up in futures on RH. Yummy
XOM up 10% in falling crude prices. Gonna be an ez short
XOM up 5%, HAL up 14%. Oil patch happy
Can we get 5% up on XOM tomorrow
I’ve held XOM call options Jan 2028 for a couple months now, friday had pretty large gain for no news at all
> Lots of people are talking about oil companies and oil infrastructure companies like CVX, XOM, COP and HAL. Absolutely none of these companies are getting into the country any time soon. Maduro's party is still in power, and the opposition parties of the country hate each other too much to banned together to form a coherent government. > How do you think this will be paid for? They wont. Venezuela was already in a precarious position before this happened, and was barely getting itself out of a self-induced famine. It doesnt produce anything but oil and the oil infrastructure was increasingly decrepit to begin with, and its not something you can just turn on and off. And all of these assets are still owned by Citgo who last I checked is still in US bankruptcy court and wont be leaving any time soon. That means all that infrastructure doesnt get touched by a US company for the foreseeable future.
PLTR, CVX, and XOM. Puts on SPY
OIL cant flourish without the infrastructure to move it from there. $XOM welcome back :)
Same lol a bought som XOM calls that expire Jan 15th 2027 literally Friday 5 min before the close. I’m curious what will happen
XOM is up 2.88%, is that much of a spike? Looks like it's been steadily increasing since April just like the rest of the market.
Bullshit. Dude threw out seven companies and didn't even mention XOM or WFRD and you respond that 1 company is definitely the right choice. I bet cvx won't outperform all of his companies. That's silly
wait until the dust settles and see who s getting the contracts. XOM CVX probably. CVX operates a bit in venezuela so they may have first mover advantage. I'm not super knowledgeable but you can easily tell where this is heading. All that it needs is the green light.
Did Trump clear this with XOM first?
