This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

BP PLC has recently experienced a significant upward movement in its stock price, which leads some analysts to suggest that it may be a prudent decision to sell and secure profits at this juncture. Critics express skepticism toward the company's strategy, particularly its heavy investments in alternative energies; they argue that BP should have concentrated on its core competencies in oil and gas instead. This commentary reflects a broader concern about the company's direction and the efficacy of its past spending. Some experts believe that there are better investment opportunities available in the energy sector, such as Canadian Natural Resources Limited, which is recommended as a preferable alternative. Overall, opinions are mixed, with a clear split between those who view the recent price surge as an opportunity to capitalize on gains and others who advocate for a strategic shift back to traditional energy operations.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Have taken off $25 billion of market cap, which is far more than what it will cost them. Yields 6% with a PE of 6 or 7.
DON'T BUY
Don’t go bargain hunting when it reacted to this kind of bad news. Don’t be there - get out.
COMMENT
Typically when there is a disaster, like the oil spill, the market sells first and asks questions later and tends to overdo it on the down side. Not sure if this is at the bottom or not. Has come up on his radar. Great dividend.
DON'T BUY
Have a big problem in that reserves are dwindling and they need to make some significant acquisitions. Would prefer Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) or Suncor (SU-T) where he can see the reserves and they will be growing over time.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has some really concerns about their aging infrastructure. Requires major investments
BUY
Good value with international diversification.
BUY
Starting to warm up to this. When things are speculative as they have been lately, you will get your biggest move in your pure producers. Later on big international integrateds, like this one, will start to catch up. Good for a long-term investor. 7.3% yield.
BUY
Dividends in the energy sector are pretty resilient and are likely to stick around. Oil in the next 3 or 4 years is likely going to be higher.
BUY
Hasn’t owned for some time because they were disappointing in finding reserves. Stock has come off so much that is probably due for a short-term rally. Oil price looks like it has been overdone in the near term. Wouldn't look beyond 3 months.
TOP PICK
Excellent valuation with the dividend being greater than the P/E. Will be able to earn $9 per share. Dealt very well with the Russians. Method they use to produce oil in the former Soviet Union is to accelerate cash flow allowing production at maximization of cash flow. 7.5% yield. Good reserves.
BUY
Has been oversold, but don’t tie up too much of your portfolio in oil.
BUY
Great yield and a lot of resource. Struggling recently because of management changes. Has exposure to a lot of different areas in the world for energy production. Be aware of potential political risks.
BUY
This fits his multinational theme that he is looking for. Stock has under performed a little bit recently. Would not have problems with this one.
DON'T BUY
Has been a very poorly run company. Poor management and poor results.
COMMENT
Classic example of a monster company that tends to pay an above average dividend yield. Also very attractive when they are doing any buyback activity. Use net buyback activity and dividend yield and if it scores high in large-cap stocks, it's a good time to buy.
