Very successful in things like Equatorial Guinea where they have big offshore oilfields. Tends to be volatile. With current high oil prices, this is likely to be a stock that benefits. Very much a leveraged play on your outlook on oil. Has a lot of growth coming through. Be a little cautious until you see that some of the production issues have been dealt with.

HOLD
It is interesting because they have some very large finds. One is about as large an oil find as there has been in the last 20 years. It has rallied off the lows and has come back quite nicely although not rallying as well as others in the group. It is not one of the leadership groups.

Surprisingly, they're the second-biggest US oil company, exposed to high-cost regions like the Bakken shale. It's sensitive to oil prices. This year, they raised their dividend for the first time since 2013. They keep making bug discoveries near Guyana, and in Malaysia, Thailand and South America. It's too complicated for him. He's rather own a straightforward offshore or domestic producer. If crude is stuck in the mid-70s, this is less attractive.
