I bought a ton of XOM in 2020 when the shut down happened and it hit $32/share and was paying 11% dividends......Oil is an inelastic good. It drives the entire global economy. That isn't changing anytime soon. There isn't enough electricity generation to replace it and with AI gobbling any surplus, oil will be king for a long time.

FewUnderstanding2214

Yes in the long term efficient oil extraction will cause the oil price to be deflationary(this is Doombergs argument), however at these prices many companies have cut back on oil exploration and production. Exploration is the missing piece, as we need to replace legacy oil fields. Oil demand is still growing and for example US inventories are actually lower than average even with extra oil on the market from OPEC+. Solar is not relevant to oil. So this thesis might take a while to play out, but in the mean time you can collect dividend from companies like MER, WCP, PRB.A and XOM.

Things I have done. 1) I lowered my Monday S&P DCA. The remainder is sitting in a HYSA while I wait to see what happens. 2) My Friday S&P DCA from weekly day trading profits, I split into 1/3s. 1/3 goes into the S&P. 1/3 goes into HYSA waiting for what happens. 1/3 goes into stocks that are down that I like. For example, I was buying Amazon at 212 before it ran to 240+. That position is sitting up 15% currently in under 30 days. Taken some profits and letting the rest run. Other examples of stocks I have bought are KO, XOM, WMT, and many more. Made my first buy on META today since it’s down about 14% from the high. But I also make good money day trading so I feel pretty good about all of this.

I continue to hold 2000 shares I bought at $37.09 and $32.48 in Sept and Oct 2020. So gain of +233%. It is a fair value at the current prices. Fair, but not a big bargain. If I held XOM in a tax advantaged account I would sell at this price, but since it is in a taxable account I will just continue to hold it. Oil and gas will still be around for at least a couple more decades.

Top 5 years in the markets were 34-47% returns. We are currently at ballpark 17% for S&P and 24% for nasdaq. Feels like 2021 again except we are going into rate cuts this time. Not something I am betting against but I have done a few things. 1) Lowered my weekly DCA into S&P by 66%. 2) Trimming profits on individual stock positions as we go. 3) 33% goes into HYSA waiting for a correction. 33% goes towards stocks that are down but I think are good. For example, I was buying Amazon, XOM, KO and others while they were down. I am now up on all of those and have been trimming profits on those. Been swing trading a bunch of other stocks as well which is going great.

sdanielsmith

I agree. I keep most of my investments in good dividend stocks that I will own no matter what happens (not like Coke or XOM are going out of business) while playing with a few k in another account, slowly adding to my dividend account with money made on options and bets while the getting is good.

runninroads

That was literally my first thought. Add that to about 3000-5000 jobs lost in the American oil fields this year, also (between COP, XOM and CVN).

idobi

The math checks out. What everyone calls the ‘AI revolution’ is mostly an infrastructure play, billions poured into concrete, chips, and megawatts to power the next generation of data centers. Pay attention to PWR, BE, and maybe XOM.

Scannerguy3000

Reasonable question. Only very recently … like this week, I’m trying something new. I think of it like “fish traps” for dividend aristocrats. Keep about 100-200 on hand of MO, XOM, TGT, et. One side of the basket is low delta CSPs. It will only collect new shares if they are very cheap. On the other side, selling CCs. It will only let shares escape if they are really big sales. If inventory gets low (100) tighten up the CCs and loosen up the CSP. If inventory gets too high, tighten up CSPs and loosen up CCs. Income / gains from: 1. CSP premiums. 2. CC premiums. 3. Dividends. 4. Appreciation 5. Constantly lowering the ACB Now, well established dividend payers tend to be low premiums. So it’s an empirical question how the total yield on this entire strategy will pay off. I’ve got a few different portfolios right now of about equal size, so I’m going to try this in one and see how it compares.

thalassamikra

If XOM is at $1165, then a 0.7 delta 1/28 ITM LEAP that trades at $16 feels insanely good value to me. Even with the peanuts poor man's CCs you can generate on XOM, this still makes sense. What am I missing?

gggg500

OP if it makes you feel any better I lost 90% of my wealth in 2008-2009. I was in high school and saved $13k from selling candy and having part time jobs. I invested into two stocks ACAS - American Capital Strategies a mezzanine financing company that lended money to various small/midsized businesses (roughly $10-$100 million in assets) and based out of Bethesda Maryland and EXM - Excel Maritime Carriers a dry bulk ocean shipping company based out of Greece (the country). Both proceeded to shit the bed. You have to diversify and buy lots of different companies. Maybe try buying SPY. If not you have to start investing for the long term into some safer companies like: CAT, CSX, ORCL, BX, MCD. Here are a few more: MSFT, XOM, PEP, BK, and RSG. Good luck, you can recover from your losses. If nothing else, just buy SPY (the entire S&P 500), and never sell, no matter what. Set it to dividend reinvest.

manitou202

Your best bet is to simply diversify. Buy some foreign ETFs, buy some long term bonds, gold, non-tech blue chip stocks like WMT, XOM, PG, JNJ, JPM, etc, and keep a small amount in tech. If the bubble pops, AI/tech stocks and meme stocks will take big hits, but the rest of the market may be relatively okay. When the dot com bubble burst, the SP500 was down about 35% while the NASDAQ went down 60-70%. The DOW (only 30 stocks) was down less than 20%. Many big blue chip companies continued to climb in value while also paying dividends. Gold continued up.

I think GOOGL/ GOOG is a long term hold. I’m holding leaps on GOOGL, NBIS, UBER and TSM. They’re all deep ITM (except UBER) so I plan to roll them for the next 10 years to maintain exposure. I sell weekly or monthly calls against those holdings to wash theta and chip away at cost basis. I’m holding MSTR shares long term - it’ll either work out or it won’t, but I could see it above $700 at some point in 2026. As long as the price floor keeps increasing YoY, I’m comfortable holding through the volatility. I’m also holding the XOM shares I bought in the $30s when oil futures went negative during covid. Lastly I’ve been trying to snowball JEPQ and JEPI in my Roth, so that’s a long term hold. Shoot…I was only supposed to give one. I guess I’d have to go with MSTR. I wanna punch myself every day for selling RDDT during the April selloff. I should probably get back in at some point.

He’s been pretty consistent is discouraging callers from taking a position in OXY. And since Buffett acquired it, that’s been sound advice as it hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s pumped a lot of other energy stocks over that time frame but not OXY. As of the last couple weeks he’s been pushing people out of things like XOM and CVX.

MaxxMavv

Buying good companies at deep value is the foundation of good investing. Does not matter if talking dividend or growth. 2008 was the buying chance of a generation, we had another one in 2020, I was a little too young for 2008 but 2020 made my retirement, backed up the truck on the dividend payers at historic values. Up 300-400% on some of them from that point like XOM.

mikemccrea

10Y is up 100% not including 5% dividend. This stock is doing incredibly well compared to PFE, BMY, hell even XOM

reaper527

would be in a better spot if my XOM shares didn't get called away a few years ago. was buying at around $30/share, and got called away around $50 so made a profit, but 800 shares times $60-70 worth of growth since then (plus $4/year in dividends the whole time) sure would be nice. wouldn't sting so much if i didn't put the money from that sale into EXPI right before its split. that did not pan out well. (fortunately other things did pan out, ESPECIALLY this year)

Happy_Discussion_536

>Oil companies have a 3.5-6% dividend yield. Oil usage isn't going anywhere. It isn't an exciting investment but it isn't a bad investment if you are a dividend investor. u/Mariox No they don't. Good companies don't have 6% dividends when FFR is rapidly dropping. Fed target is 3.5% this year, then soon after 3.25%. Average junk bond yield today is 6.4%. You don't have those yields without enormous concerns of liquidity or growth issues. The stable ones like XOM have 3.4%.

I don't want anything consumer-sensitive.

thedukeofno

I don't think I have great moral high ground here, but I am 100% certain that owning stock is relatively less unethical than buying from Amazon for the following reasons: * owning AMZN stock doesn’t directly fund Amazon’s operations, while shopping with Amazon absolutely does * owning shares comes with voting rights, so in theory one could push for better corporate behavior (remember what happened to XOM and Shell in 2021?) * when you buy shares (except in an IPO) you are not giving money directly to AMZN, but rather to another shareholder who is selling

Yeah, energy’s always ripe for M&A when crude’s stuck in the mud. Majors are sitting on fat cash piles — XOM just closed the $60B Pioneer deal, CVX scooped Hess, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see more mid-cap shale names get taken out if valuations stay compressed. Watch the Permian and Gulf Coast players — that’s where the consolidation game is heating up the most.

XOM dividends thanks

culturefan

Tho some should be. XOM, JCP, and WAL did well over several decades.

Zoomingcumbucket

Lots of research and looking at American companies that will go no where when you cash out of the next best stock being discussed. Made bank on Roblox IPO opening week, had XOM as the transfer when it was around $40 I think. But XOM was one of 10 that I was viewing as being hit and they are American AF to go anywhere. I played Alibaba long term because they are essentially Amazon of that hemisphere, while shorting any stock ticker that remotely said they were competitive surrounding China. I’ve lost a bit using this strategy because it’s the gd market but I’m more green than red

WhileNotLurking

A better question is “What were the top 3 stock bunches recommended in 1980,1990,2000?” If you go back - you would be holding some XOM, JCP and WAL Today’s giants may not be that well off in a decade.

lolathon234

I’m probably a few months late to the party, but SLI is such an obvious buy it’s laughable. Only way it doesn’t end up at $25-30 in the next 12-18 months if if XOM buys them out, which is likely and will be at least 2-3x current ask

FaythDarkHeart

yeah i lowkey got baited in XOM now im holding it

PeaceLvSpreadsheets

Well, just for one data point, if you'd done this 10 years ago it would have worked. Half the companies stayed in the top 8 and outperformed the market. The S&P 500 is exactly in the middle - 230% increase since September 2015. On the average you would have beaten this. XOM (Exxon) up 52% WFC (Wells Fargo) up 54% JNJ (Johnson & Johnson) up 92% GE (GE) up 126% GOOG (Google) up 662% AAPL (Apple) up 764% AMZN (Amazon) up 795% MSFT (Microsoft) up 1062%

Send XOM to the moon

foragingfish

One of the benefits of options is you can trade expensive stocks while not risking a lot. A lot of new traders gravitate to buying single calls or puts, wanting those asymmetric payoffs. It's not easy and by definition you always have a less than 50% probability of profit. Even if you get it right, when to exit is always a question. I like spreads structured like this better than single leg long options because it's a 50/50 shot, just like buying shares. You can just do it cheaper. It's a good foundation and then you can branch into other ideas and see what works best for you. If you think XOM is going to continue to move up and want a cheap way to trade that theory, you could buy a 111 call and sell a 112 call. Your gains are limited, but so are your losses. If you wanted to risk more, you could widen it to something like 110/113, based on the current 111.30 price. Two things to be careful about on this type of trade. \- Sizing: Assume that you can hit max loss and size it so that is not an issue. Smaller accounts might risk 2-5% on a trade. Larger accounts usually less, even under 1%. \- Close it before expiration: Sell the position early to remove any expiration risk.

inconfunsion

Thank you so much! I appreciate the example and the explanation. So you’re saying to limit risks and learn the trade itself to do spreads? Because I’m green, I’ve been looking at, XOM and F. I have no real reason why since I’m just paper trading but I’d like something more concrete of consistent, if you will. I just feel like I’m all over the place and as a beginner, that’s scary.

DistrictOk4219

I like CRWV if it climbs back above $97? XOM calls $115 cheap early expiration? ONDS? NIO has been going against the larger market? Rebound the small caps if shorting? Otherwise expect a final correction wave down?

Flipped XOM 110c Oct for a quick 50% profit in a few days

Aromatic-Ad-8250

So trust me, mentally I'm in the same boat as you. What I do to avoid acting on thoughts like this (over extended, low VIX, etc), I have a rules based approach in place that would allow me to add insurance once there are signs of decline. Evaluate geopolitical landscape, FED interest rate decisions, technical analysis of whatever you're trading options on, general options activity and where money flows are headed, if the vix jumps to a certain level, etc etc. This way you don't buy insurance too early and bleed your profits. Trust me, I run a wheel strategy between NVDA and XOM. Currently I believe tech and nvda in general in the short term are super extended just due to the price action and because of how the market has priced in essentially every positive piece of news. If for whatever reason rates don't get cut next month we could see a pullback (or a pullback in general as traders take profits). I've recently began wheeling XOM because of the cheaper price point, lower volatility (while still getting about 2% per cycle), and the better predictability of oil and gas stocks. There are tons of ways you can "add insurance" without necessarily buying puts. Switch to lower volatility instruments, have a set of conditions that would trigger you to buy insurance, sell further out of the money (assuming you sell options), etc. And if you do sell, i really recommend taking profits at the 50% profit level and not wait for more (you've juiced most of the theta within a short amount of time). I'd love to also hear other's thoughts on this!

Sweet_Sea3871

Checking the last one I remember was XOM back in Feb. in this case you were correct, I bought at 103.3, sold 110 calls which were assigned on 2/11 (ex date 2/12). The price had gone up to 111.6 at close, so the shares were assigned. Price dropped to 107 on 2/12, so maybe that’s what I was remembering.

dark_bravery

you know what was cheap a few years ago? $META. look how that turned out, also SOFI, also PLTR a few years ago. $NVO, $LLY, $UNH, $PFE are all out of favor right now. their businesses are still embedded in the economy, they aren't going anywhere. my other favorite out of favor plays were $XOM a few years ago and $MO last year.

TheLelouchLamperouge

Does anyone trade XOM anymore? Or is oil too hard nosed to be worthwhile nowadays

Opposite_Sell_9857

Using XOM's current share price of $105.95 and their current yield of 3.74% (paid out in increments four per year), one share bought today will give you $114.86 in 20 years... Plus whatever the share price will be. Since 2005 it's doubled. This doesn't even account for stock splits, yield increases, etc... Short answer: Dividend investing is for INVESTORS, not traders.

salty0waldo

Another reason to avoid upstream for the time being. Stick with vertically integrated, so XOM or CVX.

salty0waldo

The last time CVX was that low, oil prices went negative… Out of all the US oil companies, vertically integrated XOM/CVX are the best able to weather a storm. The smaller downstream players like FANG and OXY are the ones that technically will see margin pressures. At the end of the day, O&G is cyclic and the way these companies handle markets being flooded is to cut working capital (layoffs) and shutdown wells (which will actually hurt the economy) You might get lucky and see 120, but that would be a stretch. Hope I’m wrong, cause I’ll scoop more up. But if that does happen, a lot of people will be out of jobs, particularly out in Texas.
