Wow, wow. This is somehow worse than my options port and I've got $650 ISRG Sept. calls down $3400, MU 500 May15 calls down $2,500, and i sold covered calls on my NBIS shares at a $135 strike. I may be able to dig myself out to some extent with MU. Think you're are cooked with these positions tho. XOM maybe okay, depending on macro shit
Bullish for oil and LNG producers. Calls on XOM, CVC, and LNG.
yeah they have to buy from america now which is why XOM and CVX are up so much right now
I can understand the XOM but the rest looks like you were trying to make a donation. Like QQQ was gonna crash and everyone would buy Nike and Verizon?
damn, son. all these trades are exactly the opposite of what you should've done... and short term to boot. at least do leaps, man vz? dividend stock. slow moving, wrong direction. nke? a call? really? that motherfucker is still a falling knife why put puts on a LEVERAGED etf in the OPPOSITE direction of your other shit? Unless you're doing specific option spreads and know what you're doing, this is just ... I'll use a word rarely used here... (/s) retarded. you would think XOM would've been a good call, but look at the charts at least before 'assuming'!
What possessed you to even pick these tickers nobody trades like this. Except for XOM.
Lost $3.5k on the XOM rug pull dump one minute before market open, but gained back $1.1k on NVDA and Ford. Let NVDA rip this week
is that because domestic oil is expensive, so the more expensive oil is generally, the more it's "worth it" for domestic operations? i can't imagine expensive energy is good for ALL american companies. your examples were just two OIL companies, man. that frankly feels disingenuous - everything except domestic oil producers are stuck paying insane energy prices. all i'm hearing is it makes sense to be bullish for american OIL AND GAS companies. your comment does nothing to explain why the market broadly is ignoring reality. Helium is crucial for data centers. one third of the world's helium comes from Qatar. guess what can't exit the straight right now? Qatari helium. Data centers consume a ton of energy, too. just because insane energy prices enrich XOM and CVX doesn't translate to "bullish for american companies" what the hell.
oil supply shock is very bullish for american companies. look at XOM and CVX. they are on pace to become trillion dollar companies if these oil prices stay higher for longer
Total rug pull on XOM a minute before market open. Wild when USO and crude stayed steady
I think you'll have time to see an off ramp. Just take profit when you can. And I'm in the same boat with you but not for OXY but for XLE and XOM. I'm betting on the economy slowing down and energy being expensive.
No, it’s because the market isn’t concentrated on oil names anymore. XOM used to be one of the largest companies in the US. With inflation the price of oil should have gone up substantially more than what it has. Look at the inflation adjusted price per barrel. It still has an affect as everything is transported but the US economy doesn’t fall if oil it elevated
Brooo I said it already but I’m PISSED I have one UCO call but I really wanted to buy a XOM call and double down on the same thesis. What was it?
I held calls on XOM. I'm just waiting for some stupid Truth Social post to undo what could be a really nice morning tomorrow.
I m stocking up XOM. They make 20 percent of world helium.
I bought into IAUI and XOM heavy after the 2024 election just to protect my portfolio. This conflict is not close to being resolved
Why didn’t I just pull the trigger on the 1WTE XOM call 😔
That's why I've bought XOM on every major dip since Russia/Ukraine. If if oil isn't dipping, buy SPY/Tech.
Oil penny stocks just seem to all have issues. EONR, TPET, KOS, PROP (ew), WTI?, REI (almost no volume) Each of these have something going on with them and they also don't seem to track oil pricing. It seems to be manipulated also so that the big oil stocks (XOM, OXY, CVX) do well. I'm not well educated, just the experience from when Venezuela situation began, to now.
It's a beautiful blockade, the best blockade in history, maybe ever. Calls for $XOM.
I like to do IC condors that are at least 30 days out especially after a big move because of the spike in IV. I’ll choose a .10 to 0.15 delta on both sides after the big move. Then I’ll have a plan in place. For example, roll call side up 2 strikes if the call delta gets to .40. Then close the position out if the call side gets touched after the roll. I will choose strikes where I think the underlying shouldn’t be. If it touches the strike, that means I’m wrong on the trade and I will, therefore, close the position. This keeps my losses minimal. If the underlying is trading within the range, I will consider closing out at 50% of credit but I will try to stay in the trade for a long as I can to capture more theta decay but I have to move my stops closer to lock in a profit in case it has a large move in either direction. Sometimes it can gap up or down beyond your stops and you give back some of your gains but that’s trading for you. I have been doing this on GLD this year and have been successful as volatile as it has been. I just started doing it on XOM and BNO and both were profitable.
I have XOM calls I bought right before the talks were announced
My TPET is gonna run! And XOM
If I could get XOM to $161 before Friday then my liver might be spared
That was the best time to buy oil stocks. CVX hit $50 and XOM was in the 30s. Be greedy when others are fearful indeed.
My April 17th XOM are cooked, as well
Yeahhh but XOM and INTC? You're right though, can't complain. Thanks for the conversation!
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
Loaded XOM puts . Still stuck in Disney Visa and UPS calls
How the fuck is XOM back at pre war price while oil is near the highs
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
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.
I bought XOM and USO calls yesterday after they fell 15% 🤣 Bro you’re coping hard now. You should smile more 😎
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
no it's more simple than that. strait closes, oil prices go up, so XOM goes up (should)
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.
Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas since the war calls on XOM?
Aggressively bought OXY,SLB, BKR, HAL, VG, XOM, MOS, NTR and CF because when you’re down 25K, what else are you gonna do? I doubled down because taco doesn’t matter I have the 403 457 for rational investing https://preview.redd.it/dzn582t1j2ug1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cd84f055b2fa227545d6350e7379b8d86f035de 2k going in tmrw
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.
Oil: OXY, VG, SLB, BKR, XOM Fertilizer: NTR, CF, IPI, MOS
okay but why isnt my XOM calls printing
Straits closed again, XOM calls!
XOM calls for april 10 is cheap if this is true
Fuck this, I was eyeing XOM calls at open but the spreads are always so big until 10 minutes after open, when it had already mooned
My XOM and CHV share prices aren’t tanking, my dividend yields are increasing!
sad to my big beautiful XOM strung out, living in the gutter. she had such a bright future.
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
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.
i closed the XOM OXY and VG calls i bought last week at 10:30 this morning for around 70% profit, so at least i got that going for me
Someone help a brother. What’s an XOM 155 put worth now? April 10
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
Qqq calls and XOM puts I bought last week. MU shares what colour of lambo should I get?
Im with your brother my long XOM and CVX are hurting...
I sold 1200 XOM and went all in on HOOD this morning. My tomb will read: 🚨 **HERE LIES A KHARG ISLAND BULL** 🚨
Qqq calls printing. XOM puts printing. MU shares up bigly what a day
Thanks for confirming my XOM and OXY calls will print, you’re real af
Added XOM calls at open, hoping those print..
I completely agree with you. I'm still holding my XOM 4/24 calls for exactly these reasons. But that doesn't mean our current administration doesn't blunder into something unwinnable.
That's what I think too. I'm in XOM calls for 4/24.
I just liquidated 400 XOM and bought HOOD, what is wrong with me
I bought weapons stocks at the start of the war to only see RTX & LHX slide down b.c everyone else had been buying the rumor and selling the news. Fortunately, I'd been buying XOM & COP when Trump began saber-rattling Venezuela last year. Win some, lose some? 🤷🏼♂️
Sold my XOM stock last week as free 90% gain. Glad to be out of it.
If you’re feeling bold you can short XOM
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.
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.
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.
XOM finally getting off the mat. Guess people are figuring out that they sell a lot of oil again.
Someone talk me out of buying way too many 180 4/24 Exxon calls for only .65 I'm down huge on the ones I already have, but I just can't imagine a world where XOM doesn't climb out of it by earnings.
I bought put leaps on XOM in January…I belong here 🤡😢
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 💀
XOM earnings in 18 days. Where do you guys think it lands on the 24th?
XOM is a data center/AI stock now
Green oil probably means my XOM calls are red again.
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.
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
XOM is forever. CVX is forever. oil is forever as far as my and the next 3 generation lifetimes goes
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.
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.
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.

Believe it or not Saudi Arabia calls 🤣 Saudi Aramco is basically the largest oil company in the world, and they have been still producing, take a look at the XOM chart. When things settle down Saudi market is going to moon.
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.
