If you're already up, then take the gain and sell. Oil is uncertainty these days.

Exxon Mobil is offering 2.3 of its own shares for Pioneer, valuing PXD at $253 per share in a $60 billion all stock deal. Exxon is down somewhat. The energy space is looking good.

Exxon announced it will buy PXD, a mega deal, and he believes the deal will happen. PXD is a long-time favourite of his.

He just trimmed Pioneer, which topped out on Sept. 5, its ex-dividend date, but didn't like how it reversed after that. He still owns some Pioneer shares.

They've done a great job extending resource life. He's bullish oil.

It reports next week. The Permian is increasing production this year.

Pays a good dividend and has good costs at a time when the oil price is down.

She owns it only for the dividend, and doesn't need the stock to grow

Loves the company but he just sold it because it is a prime M&A takeover target. He is overweight energy despite paring this and other energy holdings.

Their report later today will be straightforward. This year, they already said that if oil is around $80 they will pay out $20 in dividends and at $60, will pay $10. Likely, they will pay the former which amounts to about a 10% yield. Not complex. She owns it for the dividend, not the upside.

There's a floor on the crude oil price, so hold on.

They pay a variable dividend that they will cut if oil keeps going down. He feels oil will rise. He added shares the other day.

Pays a 10% yield that keeps rising, and it's back up by cash.
