Chevron Texaco (CVX-N)

He stays home for oil and gas stocks, especially because years of underappreciating Canada has led to lower valuations. For dividends coming from the O&G patch, especially in Canada where they're tax-effective, there's no better place to be. With this name, you're buying the oil price, but he believes more in the gas price.

Has both upstream and downstream. So you could do quite well on the oil price, but then lose $$ on the refining side. Refining is a tough industry, pretty cyclical. Well run, but instead look to OXY, XOM, or CNQ.

She is following it. Has a good dividend of 4.6 to 4.7. It is very volatile but is one of the best positioned with a strong balance sheet. She sees upside and free cash flow of 9%. It is one of the fastest growing in the offshore basin. There is an oil overhang due to softer prices but you could set up for a compelling entry price point.

He expects to fall into the $50s, as part of Trump's plan, but CVS yields 5%. Buy at $136

Pays a 4.8% dividend and return a lot of money to shareholders.

They report Friday. He doubts they will report anything positive because of the low price of oil.

He was going to recommend it is a dividend stock, but no one can tell where oil will go.

Hess deal being contested made things too murky. He sold. Comfortable with his Canadian holdings in the oil patch instead.

Pays a 4.6% dividend yield. It bounced nicely today.  They keep buying back stock. A good CEO. He's not an oil bull, though.

The dividend is super safe and cash flow is great.

It reports Friday. He won't buy any oils, because these companies could cave to Trump's demands of drilling like mad. He thinks they will stay disciplined.

A dividend play for 2025 at 4.54%. Not sexy, but consistently generates earnings, free cash flow, and each year grows its dividend. Offers growth wealth generation over time.

Good yield, buyback and yield, but can't recommend it, because he doesn't see the price of oil hitting $100.
