XOM

Key_Seaweed8857

Sometimes doing the so-called ”sensible” things thru advice from the money managers tho can cost u. Start of last year had adviser want to get me out of at least some of my heavy XOM position to “rebalance” into safer more conservative income-producing funds, and woulda unloaded all my INTC to help offset gains. I listened & said thanks but I’ll continue to take my chances. Well 15 months later XOM’s gone from 100-150 (even higher just a week ago) & INTC’s gone from 20-60. So go figure. Woulda missed the big gains in both, tho am now thinking of taking some XOM (which also pays a nice dividend) off the table at these current levels.

ETFs are the way to go for sure, and then I use those same ETFs to stock pick just a few of their top positions in order to spice up my portfolio a bit. For instance, SPMO, SMH, I also hold URA, GDX, and EIS. As for individual stocks, I've got NVDA, ASML, ASTS, and some XOM

How the fuck is XOM back at pre war price while oil is near the highs

TomatoSpecialist6879

Yes it's totally "fan fiction" while you're typing like a low functioning retard with autism. Can your illiterate inbred retard brain not handle sentences bundled together? Is that why you have to keep putting spaces between each sentences you type like you're still stuck in 3rd grade? Calling you a retard doesn't mean I lashed out, it just means I came to the assumption that you're retarded. Pattern recognition is an useful skill, but you will never have it this life time on the account of your inbred brain. XOM scalp btw, and I'm the fraud here? Cope and seethe harder ask you keep pretending you're fine you piss poor orphan

TomatoSpecialist6879

Yes keep avoiding it and double down on projecting, I can almost see the frothing at the mouth with the amount of emojis and random 'LMFAO' you keep spamming. Keep going you piss poor brainlet, only person you're convincing is yourself. Since you're so obsessed with accusing people of paper trading, is that what you're doing because you're too poor for the market? Between the delusional XOM "scalping" comment despite XOM chart saying you made shit up and being too much of a fairy to post your port, it's just getting sad.

InevitableAd2436

I bought XOM and USO calls yesterday after they fell 15% 🤣 Bro you’re coping hard now. You should smile more 😎

InevitableAd2436

Lmao at you being this mad and lashing out now. I love how you believe some multinational conspiracy from a month old headline will successfully decrease the price of oil when 20% of the world’s supply is halted and will likely stay halted for months. I don’t know if you’re just retarded or trolling at this point. I do have short dated XOM and USO calls expiring tomorrow. I’ll probably close them out this afternoon. Nope no Bloomberg terminal, just years of huge asymmetric bets with good risk management https://imgur.com/a/TczxKnE

Still_Ad8888

no it's more simple than that. strait closes, oil prices go up, so XOM goes up (should)

InevitableAd2436

Headlines will move futures far more than any secret treasury manipulation. I do think they’re all lock step with each other more than ever. The government can’t fully control oil prices long term. The strait being disrupted is real and price will win eventually. I’m long OXY and XOM.

i know you said you weren't looking for specific stock picks, but i bought XOM, and ED near close yesterday. I don't think this is over, by a long shot.

big fan of AMZN and PEP, less of a fan of MCD. fast food prices have gotten too high to the point there's going to be demand destruction. if you're just looking it because of the dividends, you've got better options. MO is great, XOM fell to a somewhat reasonable entry point today (even if it's still somewhat high) this sub HATES T, but lots of times "inverse reddit" is the way to go.

I think BOJ and the US are involved in oil futures as they announced they might be. The reality is WTI hit $144 spot yesterday, a new ATH. Buy oil companies. I like XOM. I purchased it through XOMO (a yield max weekly paying ETF). My distribution rate is currently 51.63%. I also purchased $12 April puts bc these ETFs are built to have NAV declines in order to spit off tax free ROC. I also trade YieldMax pairs like $MSTR and $WNTR. Long and short micro strategy. The most profitable is $TSLY and $CRSH. So far YTD CRSH is up 20% and $TSLY is down 11%. Will change today obviously. But the combined weekly distribution is 110% annualized currently. I have bought TSLY OTM puts bc the options market is liquid. Wish I could for CRSH but very illiquid so bought way OTM TSLA calls to hedge that. It’s just options trading through an ETF and a way to make sure I get money back for other trades or compounding like I’m doing with TSLY and CRSH. One of the most liquid options markets only behind indexes and constant high IV so selling options is very profitable.

Exxon Mobile expressed their hesitancy in going back into Venezuela: https://corporate.exxonmobil.com/news/news-releases/2026/our-perspective-regarding-the-situation-in-venezuela#Darrendeliveredthefollowingremarks > With respect to Venezuela in particular, we have a very long history in Venezuela. In fact, we first got into Venezuela back in the 1940s. We've had our assets seized there twice. And so, you can imagine to re‑enter a third time would require some pretty significant changes from what we've historically seen here and what is currently the state. > If we look at the legal and commercial constructs—frameworks—in place today in Venezuela, today it’s uninvestable. And so significant changes have to be made to those commercial frameworks, the legal system, there has to be durable investment protections, and there has to be a change to the hydrocarbon laws in the country. > We’re confident that with this Administration and President Trump working hand‑in‑hand with the Venezuelan government that those changes can be put in place. And with respect to the Venezuelan government—that perspective—we don’t have a view on. We haven’t talked to the Venezuelan government, and obviously we have yet to assess the people’s perspective with respect to ExxonMobil entering the country. > In the short term, there are things that can be done while these longer‑term issues are being worked. For us, we haven’t been in the country for almost 20 years. We think it’s absolutely critical in the short term that we get a technical team in place to assess the current state of the industry and the assets to understand what would be involved to help the people of Venezuela get production back on the market. And it's two weeks ago when Exxon just started looking at Venezuela: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/ceraweek-exxon-says-its-team-is-venezuela-evaluating-oil-opportunities-2026-03-25/ > HOUSTON, March 25 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab has a ​team in Venezuela this week evaluating ‌the country's oil and gas resources and infrastructure, upstream head Dan Ammann said Wednesday at the CERAWeek by ​S&P Global conference in Houston. > "What we're looking to assess ​is the state of the resource that's there, but ‌more ⁠importantly, what's the state of the infrastructure on the ground?" Ammann said. There are short-term actions that can be taken to ​incrementally increase oil ​production, ⁠he said, but fully rebuilding Venezuela's oil industry would likely take ​a long time and cost ​hundreds ⁠of billions of dollars. > Venezuela's oil output has dwindled due to underinvestment in the OPEC ⁠member ​nation that once produced ​3 million barrels per day. Before the coup, Venezuela's hydrocarbon industry had dwindling outputs dating back to 2010, primarily due to decaying infrastructure (no money for maintenance), skills workers leaving or stealing (pay did not keep up with hyperinflation), generally poor management (political loyalists installed into company leadership) and domestic insecurity (gangs extorting local operations for protection money or directly stealing from the company).

The only question is. Sell at open or hold for a bit. Have qqq calls and XOM puts

butthead4206969

I don’t own XLE but I own XOM and I’m not selling. This is only a 2 week ceasefire until something more permanent comes out, the oil infrastructure over there is fucked which means it’ll be longer until things get back to normal, and besides, XOM pays dividends. It’s one of my DCA holdings.

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

Soft-Run-1954

Take a look at XOM

AcceptableCar3105

Quite the contrary. I wouldn't be posting my exact position if I didn't want criticism. Of course it's gambling. All trading is gambling. Not all gambling is equal. I took the position because oil is pumping, 30% of the world's oil is choked off indefinitely, along with a sizable amount of helium that XOM also deals with, and they have earnings on 4/24. Of course I'm gambling that the war drags on, but what are you actually suggesting? I just want someone to convince me I shouldn't buy even more XOM calls. They seem really underpriced. What other sectors look good this week besides energy and defense? That's what I'm really asking. You're picking a fight for no reason.

AcceptableCar3105

So bombing their bridges and power plants is going to reopen the straits? Truth is, I know a lot more about geopolitics than I do about trading, and it catches me flat-footed pretty often. I got 4/24 XOM 180 calls. How would you trade this current situation? Are you just throwing up your hands saying nobody knows shit? The fact of the matter is, everyone knew Iran would be able to close the strait if they wanted to. The Pentagon has known that for a long time. I just want to know what our leverage is going to be to end this conflict with the strait open if we follow through with those threats? It seems like the most certain pathway to an even more prolonged conflict.

AcceptableCar3105

I'm just glad I have my XOM calls for 4/24 and I'm not trying to trade this on a weekly or daily basis. I couldn't imagine being exposed to the rest of this press conference.

AcceptableCar3105

Energy carrying my portfolio rn 🔥 Been loading up on XOM since January when everyone was still crying about "oil is dead" That Iran situation really caught people off guard but was pretty obvious if you follow geopolitics at all. Strait of Hormuz gets sketchy = oil moon mission every single time. Wild seeing tech get absolutely murdered though. All those AI hype plays from last year getting reality checked hard. Makes me wonder if this is just temporary rotation or start of something bigger for the sector 💀

USO is a commodity based ETF that tracks the current months contract for a barrel of oil. It closely follows the price of oil over a week or month. Daily differences can occur but are usually smoothed out over several days. XOM is a diversified energy company. Its stock price is largely driven by future earnings expectations of its diversified business which includes refining, extraction and distribution of natural gas and oil products. Its correlation to the daily price of oil is fa from exact.

Direct_Marsupial_974

I think this is a classic geo-driven short-term move. There is still strong support for oil, but stocks like XOM are not oil amplifiers. Oil prices are still the main role next week, the energy sector is worth paying attention to, so the operation needs to be cautious profit

foira

XOM is forever. CVX is forever. oil is forever as far as my and the next 3 generation lifetimes goes

WhiteSolarWind

Even if the strait opens, I’m hearing 40% of ME infrastructure is toast with many months eve years to replace. Just lost more in last 24hrs and long weekend. I guess part what I’m asking is if oil price continues to rise will XOM rise with it? And also is USO a better position if the price of oil keeps rising.

AdAny631

APA looks better then XOM in my opinion but the real problem will be multiple companies and countries using force majeure. Apache has used it in the past but its my belief that APA is is much more likely to double then XOM so if I did it over again I would pick APA since it also has natural gas. I just went with CVX and XOM bc they are the largest. No longer hold any Chevron.

WinstonSalemSmith

Internet/Social Media investors are not generally interested in the easy money. This distinguishes them from people like Buffet or old school retail investors who just say OK there is an oil war in the Middle East I will buy oil stocks. Social Media people will do nothing or buy puts, based on the correct assumption that oil prices will decline at some point. But when? These people also don't touch things like WBD at $20 during a bidding war or NFLX below $100 today. These are just boring money making trades, but not real conversation starters.

Gregarious_Snow_611

Looking at historical prices, during the roughly 9-year period from early 2000 to end 2008, the total gains for some of these companies were: • ~614% (adj close Jan-00: 4.87, Dec-08: 34.76) for OXY • ~144% (adj close Jan-00: 17.14, Dec-08: 41.80) for XOM • ~135% (adj close Jan-00: 15.72, Dec-08: 36.89) for CVX • ~25% (adj close Jan-00: 17.40, Dec-08: 21.75) for SHEL These are still way off from your numbers. The large variances in performance also suggest that investing blindly in oil companies does not work and instead you'd have to invest in good companies that happen to be dealing with oil.  Back then, you'd have made a healthy 24.4% YoY gain with OXY or a pretty lackluster 2.5% YoY gain with SHEL.

No_Cow_8702

OP. I agree with you, but I wouldn’t add any new positions here. However, YOU ALWAYS want to have some exposure to energy, whether your talking pipelines like $ENB or producers like $XOM or $CVX. They’ve got a fortress of cash and only increase their buybacks and dividends as time goes on.

WingWorried6176

Gotta see how May earnings + guidance play out. If oil is still elevated in the future and XOM FCF per share goes up, the street will rerate the stock on the new P/E an it will trade higher. As of right now they are trading at a premium already. From what I’ve read there can be some divergence until the oil companies post earnings.

therpgrad

Futures traders are currently banking on oil remaining high over the next two months and much lower in around eight months. The only way for XOM, CVX, SHEL, and so forth to continue increasing is for the price of oil in those the longer-dated futures contracts to also rise.

NotMe357

I find it really weird on Friday that we were down like -1.5% then when the market open we just pump hard. What the most weird thing is oil stock like OXY/XOM they both go down while oil keep pumping 🤔 Wouldn't surprise me we somehow pump again money ever if we got very bad news on the weekend.

sea4miles_

I'm mainly very boring and buy index funds with whatever free cash I have on hand, but my biggest individual trade successes were buying large XOM, JPM and STOR positions during pandemic lows. Although not technically an investment, I'd say refinancing two properties at <3% was a major break as well.

ski0331

Buddy you’re asking about buying XOM. You’re not gonna get a non globalist perspective with a multinational corporation regarding the most important resource in the world.

LarsTarkas

Hilarious that XOM looks like an inversed SPY

Loud-Butterfly3426

XOM isn't a forever stock but probably fine for several or many months if oil stays over $85-90. Same disclaimers: Nfa. Dyor. Not a holder.

Accurate_Shift_3118

if you’re calling yourself conservative, trying to time geopolitics is probably the wrong game. oil spikes on fear and drops just as fast when narratives shift, so dumping in 5–10 days vs holding months is basically a macro bet, not conservative investing, names like XOM are already built to ride cycles, they generate cash, pay dividends, and don’t need perfect oil prices to survive. a more conservative approach is trimming instead of all-in/all-out, lock some profits if you’re uncomfortable but keep exposure in case the situation drags longer than expected, also worth remembering a lot of the “bad news” gets priced in fast, so reacting late usually hurts more than helps if holding it is making you uneasy, size is probably too big, not necessarily the stock itself

Naive-Action-3446

I think it depends much of a long game you were intending. I considered starting a position a couple of weeks ago to hedge my red but typically I don't think it's the best cause it would suck if my other stocks didn't rebound lol Nonetheless looking at some trends and how XOM at least is positioning to being more cost effecirent, a potential 30% dip on peace news would still be worth it in 4 or so years if XOM continues at even it's pre war trajectory. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exxon-forecasts-higher-earnings-growth-through-2030-2025-12-09/#:~:text=Artificial%20intelligence%20is%20being%20used,Alexander%20Smith%20and%20David%20Gregorio Nfa.

What are the chances XOM goes up over the weekend

Key_Seaweed8857

Oil up 10% but not really moving the energy stocks at all. Don’t get it. CVX & XOM just flatlined all day after an initial bump & then quick retrace.

Prestigious-Ad-7927

It depends how long you were in the trade for. As an example, I sold an IC on XOM on a big green day for a 1.05 credit with 30 DTE. Two days later I was able to close it out for 0.50. I’m not gonna wait another 28 days to capture the remaining credit. I sold on vol expansion and bought to close when vol contracted.
