Incredible work by XOM, weeding out the regards and printing money simultaneously
Yep XOM moves used to be predictable I’ve been trading contracts on it since like 2022ish now the moves are massive and wildly unpredictable. But so are the profits!
Yeesh hindsight is 20/20 though right never feel that bad for doing what you think was the correct move. I paperhanded my XOM call last week and sold at the first dip (it proceeded to rally the rest of the day and I lost out on about $300)
Idk XOM went brrr last time there was Iran news so it stands to reason it does again
You think it’ll positively affect XOM? Should I anticipate a Cheney-Haliburton type situation?
Shit stain robin dork won’t move my fucking money fast enough to position for Iran popping off. Can we delay the tensions enough so I can scoop more XOM?!?!
Why does nobody ever mention XOM on here? Ugly girl at the dance or something? Or you guys just don’t like free money?
Loaded up on XOM puts because I’ve been through this rodeo a few times before
True. US oil producers do not have transport risk issues !! About CHRD, what I see also is that the 5.6% short float is rising right as FCF yield hits 12.8%. It’s a mathematical anomaly that shorts are about to pay for if ... if the stock goes up. I am not pumping, just watching a potential squeeze, not made by retailers, just because the situation is critical around Iran. I guess XOM could also jump, it's safe, 1T is also a target. We will see.
In an event of an attack fundamentals will matter a bit less, lol. CHRD is a clean play though, zero middl east exposure. In general in oil sector refiners will probably have a mixed reaction, depedening on crude access. Tankers will enjoy a rates spike because of disruption in Strait of Hormuz disruption . Defense stocks go up, may be RTX, LDOS, PLTR . I have XOM, HAL, SLB, HON, MSFT, MCD all having subsidaries in middle east but not sure how much they would be impacted. But whatever it will be , will be negative. All the susbidaries I have for CHRD are 100% in US
P/E 143 for a company that sells commodity industrial (70%) and niche hobby (30%) products. Debt/equity ratio 2.74. Net profit margin 3.8%. Return on investment 4.1%. This thing has economics of a convenience store, but with P/E of 2x of AMD, 3x of NVDA, and 7x XOM.

Second round of Iran talks in about 3-4 hours one Geneva. Calls on XOM
I got KO, WMT and XOM calls. For once I have made the correct play (unless this shit dumps on open)
The difference in yield is 0.04%, how much XOM do you own that that's a nasty drop, Mr. Muskett?
Xle is better. XOM always have a nasty drop offer their dividen distribution
Thought about it but with with a few companies instead. XOM, SLB, WMB, COP, and some XLE because it's cheap.
From what I can tell, it's RSI isn't showing overbought yet. But it's totally fine to wait for a pullback. XOM just had one, though not that much. Preservation of capital is always a play!
Deadass if I buy the XOM dip and get some D is the rotation going to be over and fuck my calls? This market doesn’t make sense and I feel retarded what do I do.
Calls on oil companies tomorrow. XOM, CVX, COP, etc. Even though the market will have a glut of oil at some point this year, right now Iran and Venezuela are keeping the market elevated. Also, probably one on NVDA and one on AAPL because I like to gamble away the gains on my oil stocks.
Sold my CATcalls at $787 feeling great. Put some of the profits towards April DE, XOM, and XLE calls which quickly turned not so great. Tomorrow I'm probably just gonna watch y'all fling shit at each other and ride it out.
Nothing matters until MU, SNDK, WMT, XOM, Korea, & Japan fall 5% Everything is kangaroo till then.
Fair question and I again asked AI (Gemini) the same question, i.e., I asked, "Is this statement true or false, "Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Walmart, Waste Management and Exxon over the last half decade." This is what it said: Based on data through **early 2026**, the statement is **False**. While it is true that slow-growth, defensive stocks like McDonald's (MCD) or Coca-Cola (KO) sometimes outperform tech stocks over very short timeframes (like the 2022 market downturn), the statement is false over a 5-year **total return** horizon (which includes reinvested dividends). Here is the data-driven breakdown: # 1. Amazon (AMZN) vs. MCD, KO, JNJ Amazon has significantly outperformed these consumer staples over the last five years. * **Amazon (AMZN):** Has benefited from massive growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and e-commerce dominance, resulting in a **higher total return** despite a sharp drop in 2022. * **Staples:** While McDonald's, Coke, and Johnson & Johnson are stable income generators, they have grown at a much slower rate. # 2. Microsoft (MSFT) vs. PM, WMT, WM, XOM Microsoft has dramatically outperformed this group over the last five years. * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Driven by cloud computing (Azure) and the integration of AI, Microsoft has been one of the market's best performers. * **The Comparison:** * **Walmart (WMT):** While performing exceptionally well for a retailer, it has not matched Microsoft's returns. * **Exxon Mobil (XOM):** Despite a massive surge in energy prices, Exxon's 5-year total return is still lower than Microsoft's. * **Waste Management (WM) & Philip Morris (PM):** These are stable, slower-growth stocks that have not kept pace with the tech sector.
KO, WMT, COST, XOM trading at higher multiples than big tech. Boomer Buffet would be selling his dividend trash to buy undervalued tech 🤣😂🤣😂
XOM is my favorite game series. Which they'd make a new one. Love tactical alien shooting squads
Puts on XOM have to be free money.
Is it just me or is XOM running a little hot. That crude burning like nitrous
1 year gains for Gold + 74.99%, $CAT +113.95%, Silver +155.59%, $XOM +39.30%. But WSB is still talkin software. Software? Software? What is this 2024??
Gold, $CAT, $DE, and $XOM. Somehow these were the same stocks & assets that went up after dot com. Coincidence? I think not.
My main holding 😎 I bought MO, XOM , VXUS, VTI at the beginning of the year and sitting pretty. Other than VTI, dog shit American economy stock.
So glad my current week's port is proving to be resilient - VXUS XOM LMT BRK.B SLV Added a small portion of SOXL today during the dip and that's working out well too
The math proves my point, don't know if this was the gotcha moment you intended MSFT, XOM, MSFT, CITI, J&J have all outperfomed the S%P! It's crazy that I raise the data and people downvote. Goodness folks!
I love MCD should have bought calls knowing they would beat since they are value. Was to busy watching my XOM calls print
MRK, PFE, XOM, MSFT, VZ Hopefully SPXC but need to add some more
WTF are you talking about? XOM is up 2.5% today.
Other than SPY options, same. VXUS, XOM, LMT, BRK.B, SLV/GLD main core. Sometimes I swing trade SOXL lol
I must be a cuck because I just have to sit here and watch XOM fuck me in the ass sold a 155c at 155 and it’s at 156.50 damn near
Got out of my XOM position, 470% (excluding dividends) since 8/2020.
WMT, XOM, APPLE, KO. All the boomer trash goes straight up all day/year everything else down 🤮
Selling when you think it’s the peak and then it hits a new ATH thirty minutes later has to be the worst feeling imaginable. (XOM ofc)
What’s up with XOM? 3 year consolidation and now rip?
New ATH for $CAT, $DE, $AGCO, $OSHK, $JCI, and $XOM. If you can't see the trend in the market rotation, let me help you. The market is buying atoms and selling bytes.
Boomers were right XOM is the greatest stock in the world. Up 30% in a month 🤡. Can’t wait to short oil soon
There will be no deal. They are stalling for time. It’s so fucking obvious. There will be a war within the next 2-4 weeks. Long FRO / OXY / XOM / RTX / LMT
I think the Exxon example isn’t a perfect parallel. Energy companies are inherently cyclical and price-takers tied to commodity markets. MSFT to XOM is apples and oranges. You could say the same thing about PetroChina, Saudi Aramco, they were top dogs too but did people reaally trust that conviction? The MAG 7 firms have huge MOATS — platforms, ecosystems and software layers with network effects. That’s a different business model and competitive dynamic. That said, I’m not claiming dominance is guaranteed or that concentration beats diversification on average. My point is that these companies already represent a large share of index earnings growth and capital allocation. Increasing exposure to them is a deliberate bet that their structural advantages persist. Also, we're adults. No one is "stupid" here, if you can't handle the converstation atm then please take some space if you need it. (:
If it was a certainty that some company would outperform the market, why wouldn't demand be higher? Surely that would drive up the price until it was no longer expect to outperform the market, right? That's the idea of growth being "priced in". I reject the idea that you can reliably say which "reliably dominant firms that already drive index performance" will continue to do so in the future. As others have pointed out in this thread, none of the largest companies from 1990 or 2000 are the largest companies today. Your idea that "concentration beats the index historically" is stupid because unless you filter out the vast majority or stocks that are losers *in hindsight*, diversification destroys concentration on average. Concentration only wins when you win the lottery. XOM was the largest publicly traded company in the world by market cap in the early 2010s, but it peaked in 2014 and didn't recover until the 2022. What happened to the reliably dominant firm that drove index performance? Historically, smaller companies outperform large companies on average. This is called the "size premium".
That's XOM leading look at CVX, COP, VLO on max monthly charts
I hate baskets of other people’s dartboard picks. You are buying a whole lot of garbage in a sector fund. I have an account that once had 19 individual stocks and 9 mutual funds and etf’s. The stocks I picked using my own research absolutely destroyed the funds over a 5-year period. I dumped all 9. Some of your assumptions like EV’s? I think you are flat-out wrong investing broadly in that. Low margin, horrifically under-powered grid and skyrocketing inflation on residential power? Rare earth issues, and poisoning ground and ground water upon disposal? Governments subsidies and choosing the winners there, suffers under strained budgets and is curtailing. Hard pass. How about old age-related needs like senior housing, biotech and maybe financial planning specialists or skilled nursing? I have decidedly un-sexy things like Amgen, Microsoft and XOM. I have also killed with semiconductor-related issues and expect all of that to continue. No that I didn’t make mistakes, but a buy-and-hold with dividends reinvested as a bonus was great in retrospect. My dividend yield on XOM is over 15% compared to my basis on those appreciated shares, as one example and sits at about 7x over the decades I’ve had it. Dividends on high confidence growth companies is an underrated aspect of what you’re trying to do. Even the dividends I didn’t reinvest as payout in extra shares? I just used the free cash on more stocks when shtf. That helped my overall returns a lot.
Hi - I would argue that the use of fossil fuels goes up every year and don’t see it stopping until the whole world goes nuclear. And the same people that hate fossil fuels, hate nuclear. And even if population growth is slowing, it is still going up. I loaded up on XOM during Covid at $55 with almost an 8 % yield and have never sold a share and have no plans to. It has done better than MSFT in that time period, which I also own. Good luck to you ….
I think the markets are truly pricing in AI Where stocks truly will never go down and AI just buys the dip after artificially creating dips There might be no alpha left in the stock market And no XOM or Chevron are not fucking growth stocks. Oil is still cheap And WMT is retarded
It is February 6, 2026. I made the original post on August 21, 2025. Oil futures have gone from $63.52 to $63.50 in that time. Meanwhile CVX has gone from $155 to $180. I exited my positions some time ago (which I datestamped in other comments), but I’m just leaving this comment as a record. I obviously had no idea Trump would get involved with Venezuela in the way he did, but I did feel strongly he would get aggressive about oil and natural gas after essentially shutting down renewables. Not trying to call you out directly, you just have the top comment with this common, valid criticism. I’m trying to use reddit as a bit of a journal with some of my stronger conviction stock purchases. I probably should’ve bought XOM instead of OXY.
XOM +24% YTD lmao If that’s not a sign that oil about to pump idk what is
February usually is a unique trading month. Especially after all Q4 earnings and them prepping Q1 results. AI, anything digital is about to pop. Everything’s over valued and they’re gonna run out of actual physical money funding AI. I’ve been focusing on Energy/Oil especially with how global tensions are and history shows whenever something’s about to move it needs oil. I’m like 95% sure tickers like — CVX, XOM, COP, XLE are going to react next week bullish.
XOM has announced it is no longer an oil company and is now a ai energy provider, taking a page out of teslas book.
No fucking oil futures dipped and took XOM with it which I was all in on and I panic sold and then it went back fucking up despite oil futures NOT going back up AND it’s up today fuck my life but I bought MSTR and I’m up 100% on that so I really can’t complain.
CVX and XOM stocks are high for different reasons. XOM has made significant discoveries and have cored up / made acquisitions in the Permian that set themselves up for a long runway of printing money. CVX acquired Hess and now have a foot in the door in places without investing significant capex into exploration. They are also plateauing in Permian production while offshoring work. CVX is going to trade like they are a bank for the next few years.
I feel like I need to pull out and take my 344% profit on XOM but my call doesn’t end for a couple weeks. I think it’ll continue to go up 🤞😅
Majority going into SPY/VOO. TQQQ secondary. Gonna let all of the individual stocks get hammered more before I start buying them. All the individual stocks that I was buying over the last few months are all up now and I’ve started selling them. XOM, VZ, KO etc..
Because VZ,WMT,T ,KR , XOM don't go down like this.
Okay, just did some calculations. You're right about NVDA and MSFT. META's 22.1. But so is XOM. I honestly think it's a coincidence due to share prices, oil had a huge run up recently and tech has just been bleeding. If either of the two didn't happen, XOM would be relatively cheaper. But I wouldn't call oil a bubble. Will it give up its recent gains? Possibly. Will it crash further than that? No.
70% of XOM and Chevron revenue comes from oil. I play Natgas through EQT and pipelines that’s a totally different play than oil.
Where are you seeing that? XOM has a forward PE of 21. META & MSFT are 22. NVDA is 24.5.
The numbers tell a different story. XOM having a higher forward PE than META and MSFT and about the same PE as NVDA is what I believe is madness.
> but to suggest it's a bigger bubble than tech is madness lmao. This. XOM generates $28B income (with low oil prices) at a $600B market cap. Chevron generates $12B income at $360B market cap. In comparison: * PLTR generates $1.6B income at $300B market cap * TSLA generates $3B income at $1.4T market cap * AVGO generates $23B income at $1.4T market cap during the peak of the AI boom.
I think you’re comparing Apples to Oranges here. And by that I mean Commodities to a Tech company… I get the sentiment, but the comparison is just not the same. Treating XOM and CVX as growth companies as you suggest seems wrong to me. A dividend company is supposed to spit of cash, have a healthy balance sheet, AND returns. These companies don’t have to reinvent the wheel because they’re the ones controlling the wheels (supply). Microsoft has far more burden to develop and change with the tech sector.
Long term DCA, swing trades, and day trading is where it is at. Last few months I was buying O, VZ, KO, XOM, T, and others when those were getting bitch smacked. Now I’m slowly selling those. Now I am going to continue to DCA into SPY/VOO mainly and slow DCA into TQQQ. I bought some bitcoin and Mara today for long term hold. Could care less what the market does. I’ll continue to DCA daily.
Right, I'm done with this volatile-ass market. I aged about 40 years this week so I'm going back in with a boomer port: $BRK.B $XLP $XOM $LMT $AAPL $GOOG $TSLQ See y'all next week 👵
I had first bought XOM a couple months back around the 116$ mark. Sitting at 131$ cost basis after averaging up a lot. I'm happy with it. Also check out JNJ if you haven't already. It's an absolute gem.
Bought boomer stocks over the last year and some like XOM ran 20% sold 75% of the positions that ran. So I’m mostly cash but holding paid for shares.
Ty! I have the largest portion of funds in buy-and-hold. MSFT concerns me when I compare to my other core holdings. I am killing with Amgen and XOM to fill out my big-3, but when I compare overall value currently? I’d definitely say I’d certainly add MSFT over those and it isn’t close.
No one knows, but the market is trying to be forward looking. If you are not sure what software or sectors will be replaced by AI and at what price these services will be able to price their services then sell it all. What stocks will AI have the least effect on? $DE, $CAT, $T, $XOM, $PM, $WMT? Buy those stocks even if they are overvalued until the market can figure out a narrative. Money is trying to find a place to hide right now in this uncertainty.
Copper, Oil, Silver and Gold, wait for some correction in copper but start a small position (COPJ, COPP), start buying oil stocks NOW (XOM, VDE, XOP, OXY) start buying gold royalty companies and stocks now (small position and buy the dip in BTG, B, TFPM, GDXJ), wait on a retracement for silver down to $50 - $71.
In the long term; war In the short term; peace Market has this reversed somehow. Buy the dip, then buy the XOM dip when we don’t spontaneously sperg out and double nuke Iran
I did go all in on TTD today, I think the bottom is in, I'll keep an eye out on XOM and CVX, any names for renewable energy stocks?
Tech getting hammered rn is probably more about the whole AI bubble deflating a bit and interest rate fears than RFK tbh. Healthcare tho yeah that RFK appointment definitely spooked some folks especially with all his vaccine skepticism and "make America healthy again" talk 💀 For energy plays I'm eyeing XOM and CVX for the boring boomer dividend action, but if you want something spicier maybe look at uranium miners like CCJ or some of the renewable infrastructure plays. Just don't YOLO into PLUG again we all know how that story goes 😂 Consumer defensive makes sense when everyone's scared - people still gotta eat and buy toilet paper even when the market's bleeding
A lot of people in high finance think you can hide into value stocks like WMT TGT XOM unless oil is going to $80 a barrel, oil stocks are still overvalued WMT is a tech stock I smell rotting fish
Something like XOM or BP, there is a lot of them
MOC VLO CNQ XOM SLB all up each day 3%
XOM $155 Friday calls are the best lotto tickets ever minted
Look beyond FAANG. There are a lot of tech companies doing real good for the world, or at least not having hugely negative consequences for human health, the environment and society Do we really want to go back to a world where XOM is once again the world’s most valuable company? That was just over a decade ago
No one here really cares and the people that pretend they do are mostly larping. I'm only salty that I missed out on XOM
I think it’s incredibly depressing that tech is getting crushed while XOM, Chevron and the like are at ATH and continuing to go up. Don’t know if anyone else cares, but it’s like all environmental progress the country has made got wiped out in a single year
Everyone is crying about the tech bloodbath, meanwhile I’ve been sitting on a ton of XOM with a big smile on my face
Another new ATH for $XOM, $DE, and $CAT. For shits & giggles I compared $DE vs $MSFT performance on a 5 year chart. $DE w/ 83.48% gain has outperformed $MSFT with a 71.58% gain over the last 5 years from today. You can find growth outside of Big Tech by diversifying your port.
Well I would have been 175% up on my XOM calls if I held…kicking myself
XOM, CVX, ET take your pic. Venezuela, Iran geopolitical tensions and overall energy sector pump indicating a rotation. Literally can’t go tits up
XOM will be your dividend friend for life. Good move.
Energy. XOM, CVX, etc. Not sexy, but they're making money.
The money flew from tech stocks after dot com to housing, banks, and commodities. The S&P was flat from 2002-2012. The flight to safety created a bubble in the banks stocks until 2008 GFC popped that bubble. But, yeah crude oil, commodities, gold, and hosing did very well. Everyone only talks about tech stocks here. But if you had invested in $CAT, $DE, $XOM, and $WMT after 2002 you would have done just as well as investing in the Mag 7.
