My XOM shares are liking the attention

It's because I sold XOM calls on Monday

Thank you trump My oil stocks thank you, including the quick 59% profit in my XOM calls

XOM calls?

StockScannerApp

Everything red except the stuff your grandma owns. MSFT, AAPL, WMT, XOM all green. Classic risk-off day.

Jagged_Tide

Does anybody know if at pump prices affect oil per barrel prices? Asking due to phasing in of summer blend this week. Like obviously downstream stocks like XOM will benefit but wha about upstream like USO and BNO?

MeanCryptographer585

Cheaper oil. Less disruption. Short oil. Long XOM. 

Maleficent-Age-1404

I’m leaning into energy plays right now, oil volatility looks tradable, while gold feels like a hedge. Keeping some cash on the side too, because sentiment’s shaky. Watching tickers like XOM and GLD for quick moves.

tocinoman

UAE left OPEC today because yesterday I sold XOM and bought NVDA

Synccopt

I think both CVX and XOM are cooked in the earnings ngl. The timing of the Iran war actually fucked them over because they had to sell for the cheap pre-decided price. Unless the market decides that they should go up anyway because the oil prices will be high for a while.

WeMoveInTheShadows

Aren't US oil giants like XOM. CVX, EOG, COP, OXY all going to massively benefit from this over the next 6 months? Is it expected their stocks will surge with the downturn in Gulf supply?

XOM also sells 20 percent of world helium so I m still holding the bag.

XOM for retirement account, drip them divvies over 30 years gtg

tocinoman

I had an XOM call that I was gonna hold for this week but after seeing literally everything else rip, including oil prices, while XOM went down today, I didn't feel like locking up money in it, so I sold for a small gain and moved that money elsewhere.

Independent-Tree-985

despite the price of oil I dont know if its a given that XOM will surge. thats not me expressing doubt, Im asking for more info

E39_CBX

Anybody getting XOM calls for ER? Almost want to say fuck tech and do that instead

E39_CBX

What’s the most obvious call play for earnings this week? META? XOM? GOOGL?

sitbar

My $XOM calls gonna do nice

Riskismyapellido

I was shortly. Except for PLTR, I always sold way to early when my thesis turned out correct only couple months later. XOM was one (bought in the twenties) sold in the 30ies. INTC believe it or not, and TXN. I buy, it dumps and then rocket up. TXN especially is getting to me because that would have bern a solid 100k profit just from holding shares. Right now, I am big in RBRK SNOW and ZS (which all dumped). I learned my lesson and will hold this until I make 100+% on those again

S&P and oil futures are both up, but XOM is down 😂

XOM calls?

MSFT AMZN XOM for me next week

KYEEZY98

XOM is the most bait stock ever because sustained high oil prices doesn't even help the stock price because it can cause a recession.

Cmon piece of shit XOM, moon!

$XOM broke out AH

NOLandsMan7

VM how do you feel about the next round of energy earnings given a higher for longer oil/energy thesis? XOM and SM especially.

ThisIsMyOtherBurner

hey VM. $XOM 160 tomorrow?

Confident-Window4928

XOM goes up on green spy candles and up on red spy candles

uvallie

Gave up on USO for anything beyond swing trades ages ago for the exact spread reason you mentioned. XOM and CVX is where I ended up most of the time. for pure oil exposure what worked better than ETFs for me was XOP or OIH which are the producers and services baskets, still index flavored but way more liquid than USO on the options side. XOP in particular has tight spreads at weekly strikes. USO has the contango drag on top of bad option liquidity so even when your call IS right directionally the fund can lag crude by a surprising amount over a few weeks, not a fun surprise if you are holding anything out to 30 or 60 dte. if you want the pure oil view and are ok with futures, /MCL is worth looking at since its 1/10 the notional of /CL so way less buying power needed per contract.

ThisIsMyOtherBurner

VM is XOM going to $160 next week? thank you for your attention to this matter

ThisIsMyOtherBurner

VM is XOM going to 165 in two weeks?

Unlucky-Present6686

Spreads in USO can sometimes be very ugly. For better execution and to be on top of market tightness, everyone heads where the volume lies, and that would probably be XLE, CVX, or XOM, which have substantially better liquidity when trading options – even though it’s not necessarily a pure play. Another trick might be taking out slightly longer expiries and perhaps slightly ITM. It’s probably easier to execute a spread in that scenario. The futures market is cleanest, though obviously risk profile would change dramatically. However, if one must trade an option spread, it boils down to liquidity.

tocinoman

Went long on XOM today. Going to wait for the sell off on Friday to go long on NVDA

200%. For a while I worked adjacent to the oil&gas industry and tried to pick individual stocks (XOM, BP, Chevron, etc.) . BP looked great, then the deepwater hoizon disaster hit and they tanked. You just can't predict which individual stock will have a disaster or miss expectations. From that point on it's been almost all ETFs for me.

TheAnswer1776

I think there is something behind trying to prove that you’re superior in some way. Or at least showing that you found the gem that people missed. I called XOM “free money” after COVID downturn when it went down into the high 20s. Felt proud of that. But then again I also kept trying to catch the falling knife that is NKE. Over and over again. Not proud of that. 

Equivalent-Coat-7605

Obvious bull trap at close mostly cash here with a bit of XOM added at the days low

GewDoge

Puts on XOM?

theoptiontechnician

When stocks go down in covid you sell puts on es XOM for $65. This is a one time purchase. You wait years later and you gain the premuim, to clear the purchase. The stock going up is not the best thing for that strategy, it's just the icing on the cake. Im getting higher div, and higher covered call income from covid 1 time purchase. Do you think i still owe $65 . let's say in 1 more year its paid off. How is your risk compared to mine? All the other concerns are just a skill issue, series 4 principles have a lot of vix contracts to protect and other percent metrics.

SuperbSandwich

XOM calls myself. As long as we’re not overlooking anything crucial, it should print *in theory*

AskMeAboutMyHermoids

Glad I held onto those XOM and OXY calls

SuperbSandwich

Yay my XOM calls

Separate_Asparagus94

With oil futures rising again I see another opportunity to buy far dated XOM puts tomorrow for the strait inevitably reopens

TheNinCha

Should have sold my XOM position 2 weeks ago. I had plan to hold it LT anyways

SuperbSandwich

!banbet XOM 150 3d

PapaCharlie9

You bought a little too soon, but buying was the right call. Buying the dip on oil companies will pay handsomely. We haven't seen the end of the supply crunch. XLE is already up 2% today. BTW, you could trade XLE options instead of XOM for more diversification. Unless you really want the idiosyncratic risk of one company. XLE is 1/3 the price of XOM shares, so the calls are cheaper but should move the same way.

ThirdShiftSkeleton

SMH I’m holding XOM and USO calls for a May 26 expiration bought the dip. Holding Palo Alto and SoFi as well for calls. Now we wait. I have my stop loss set oh well.

InfiniteNerve1384

That oil dip lookin mighty nice at this point. XOM and SU back up 5% Monday.

MDCPA

K keep buying XOM calls then

Naturegrapher

Bitcoin in 2014, PLTR in March 2023 (still did buy it later) and XOM during covid

Andrewpruka

XOM sure will

ZealousidealLong7708

I just buy AAL and XOM at the lows assuming Trump is lying all the time. I been right 3 out of 3 times so far and netted some modest gains.

Separate_Asparagus94

I’ve been making bank on XOM puts.

MostPrimary620

I need y’all’s opinion I bought XOM calls for 5-15 180$ Okay so I bought them on Monday then bought more threw out the week thinking we would end up fighting Iran again bringing the price up even more but all the news is peaceful bringing the price down and down. Im still holding because Im still convinced we could end up fighting again soon and bring the price right back up. Am I just being to dumb? I am young and very new to trading so yea im seeking y’all’s advice because I don’t really know it seems like I should sell at the loss I got but idk.

InvestAISavvy

Honestly the data I'm looking at suggests the market isn't as convinced on the unwind as the price action suggests. XOM social attention is up about 49% week-over-week even with price down 3.6% today — that's the kind of divergence where buzz is running ahead of price, not the other way around. The more interesting signal is on USO. Sentiment sits at 73% but when you break down what people are actually discussing, it's a near 50/50 split — roughly 45% of the conversation is still positioning around supply disruption risk, and about 30% is mean-reversion / ceasefire hopes. So the "risk premium unwound" narrative is louder in headlines than in actual trader discussion. Remember the equity-oil divergence piece. That showed up in the sentiment themes too — some algorithmic rotation between oil and index exposure. When those decouple this hard it usually doesn't resolve cleanly. Not sure the reopening narrative alone carries it through if policy stays where it is.

The_OG_Steve

main ones were 1. 1k -> 12kish bought calls on the market close before the ceasefire was announced. some weekly calls on ARM and weekly puts on XOM(1000% gain) 2. last week 12kish -> 20kish amd calls weeklies 3. this week tsla mainly some amd calls. bought calls on tuesday, sold them on the 7% run on wednesday (5x) bought back in at close and throughout the day on thursday.

sylphvanas

Already did on XOM so not doing too bad

sylphvanas

That’s why I bought more XOM calls this morning

sylphvanas

Not too bad. I tripled down on the XOM calls at open

Wowmuchrya

Buy energy stocks, XOM OXY CVX. Don’t forget that Cuba is next.

b_fellow

Glad I closed my meme positions in CVX and XOM

buytopselldrop

My XOM put hedge might save me

InitiativeGlum2507

I sold XOM @ 172 and bought OWL @ 8.45. Trade of the fucking decade.

Artistic_Chicken_557

Breaking from Walter Bloomberg: Exon Corporation (XOM) announced today that it was halting all oil exports and would instead become an AI solutions company. Investors were ecstatic in after-hours trading, pushing the stock up 34%. One investor was quoted as saying "Thank God we are changing direction. Selling products is so 1900s. It's time we catch up to the 21st century and start deploying AI." When asked how this would return shareholders returns the investor only repeated 'AI AI AI" over and over

Ill_Jackfruit8113

Top might be in I sold my amd calls I kinda don’t want to switch over to puts so what you guys think about CVX XOM and OXY calls

Crystal-Powell

I think the thesis makes sense on the surface, but I’d be careful with how much of it is already priced in. Oil names (XOM, CVX, etc.) tend to move more on global demand expectations than short-term geopolitical headlines. If the Hormuz situation escalates, you could see a spike in crude, but historically those spikes fade pretty quickly unless there’s actual supply disruption. Bull case: Higher crude prices → improved margins for upstream producers Potential re-rating if energy sentiment shifts again Bear case: Demand slowdown (especially if macro weakens) Oil spikes get sold into once the initial panic fades Energy already had a strong run, so upside may be more limited vs expectations Personally I wouldn’t go “all in” here scaling in or just taking partial exposure through something like XLE makes more sense to me.

butthead4206969

Bear case is that the war ends, oil drops and takes oil stocks down with it. But XOM and CVX pay dividends (not sure about the rest), so you might consider that. I own Exxon and I never plan on selling, in fact I’m still buying, simply because they pay dividends.

jkirk411

Sold out of DKNG and LYFT 2027 calls. bought more GOOGL APPL and XOM. Had about 10 shares of XOM sold half around the $163 mark to start a position in AMD at around $202 and get more SOFI. Only regret is AMD didnt stay there longer before it took off. I was trying to hang in there with DKNG for awhile but it just does nothing.

Nice_Preparation_976

Picked up XOM this month, and man, it’s still giving me a headache.

wrongrobertpatrick

Don’t worry about OXY and XOM bulls — it’s just a fake out

malakim_angel

i'm not buying puts, it lost me too much money betting against this bs. Long on GOOG, COST, XOM

InvestAISavvy

I track social attention on equities across about 10 platforms and the data confirms this disconnect. Energy names — XOM specifically — social dominance is up roughly 147% week-over-week. Mentions up 21%. But sentiment is only about 69% positive, with "Iran war impact on earnings" as the single biggest negative theme at around 25% of the conversation. So the social conversation is pricing in the disruption risk that the paper market isn't. That gap between surging attention and flat price action is usually what you see right before a violent repricing — the question is which direction. The normalcy bias framing you're using is the right lens for it.

InvestAISavvy

The social data backs this up too. I track social attention across about 10 platforms and energy names are seeing a massive spike in discussion — XOM's social dominance is up roughly 147% week-over-week, mentions up 21%. But what's interesting is the sentiment is only about 69% positive, with "Iran war impact on earnings" as the biggest negative theme at about 25% of the conversation. So social is pricing in the disruption risk even though equities aren't. That disconnect between social attention surging and price sitting still is usually the setup that resolves violently in one direction. The April date you mentioned could be the catalyst that forces it.

InitiativeGlum2507

Christ, I dumped my entire XOM position @ $172. I deserve some kind of medal

FINRAdude766

So.... XOM calls or not? 

tdotrollin

Yeah but oil companies like XOM up like 50% still on the year. Unironically higher avg energy priced in

athanous

How you managed to lose on $XOM calls during biggest bull run is crazy

Postmodern_Pastiche

can confirm. i bought USO and XOM calls when oil tanked after the ceasefire was announced and my asshole has been puckered ever since.

Existential_Entropy

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

SugarDaddyVA

Bullish for oil and LNG producers.  Calls on XOM, CVC, and LNG.  

sirzoop

yeah they have to buy from america now which is why XOM and CVX are up so much right now

brutalpancake

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?

snbgames

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'!

f0xinaround

What possessed you to even pick these tickers 🫪 nobody trades like this. Except for XOM.

tocinoman

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

Low_Plastic363

Very good for XOM

cannythecat

XOM is down today though

GailaMonster

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.

sirzoop

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

thewaterb0yyyy

XOM calls at close

tocinoman

Total rug pull on XOM a minute before market open. Wild when USO and crude stayed steady

Catch_ME

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.
