SHEL
BUY
Exxon is well behind the market, a cheap oil stock. He likes it.
TOP PICK
One of the largest energy companies in the world. Proven reserves across 15 countries. Attractive free cashflow yield about 12%. Focused on returning excess cash to shareholders. Tripling share buyback program. Energy prices expected to remain firm over the coming years. Yield is 3.73%, expected to increase over time. (Analysts’ price target is $105.10)
BUY
Hard to get bearish on oil. Trades under 10x earnings and pays a 3.6% dividend.
BUY
He's happy he bought this recently and is happy with the quarter just released. There is a secular, wide supply-demand imbalance that won't go away and that oil drawdowns can't keep addressing.
HOLD
Big cap oil is reconsidering how they deploy capital. They're working on returning capital to shareholders, paying down debt, buying back shares rather than building new projects. That's why you have this tight issue in the oil market. Companies are not expanding production. It will continue to do well as a cashflow machine.
COMMENT
They report Tuesday. Oil accounting can be difficult. Witness Chevron's report today, which the street took as a miss, but was really a depreciation. He fears Exxon could face the same problem, but this would be a buying opportunity.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 05/21, Up 54%) Likes energy. In his income portfolio, with its 9.5% dividend. Oil will never disappear, nor will uranium. Energy has been hot all year, and it's inflationary.
BUY
Loves oil and loves XOM. Model price of $94.95, upside of 44%. Oil should continue its run. Europe is paying 8x what NA natural gas is. China's suffering blackouts. We're in an energy crisis, and these stocks go higher. Yield is 5.3%.
DON'T BUY
Big integrated companies will take some time to get back to normal. Companies are under pressure from ESG investing. Not the first company he'd buy in the group. If you're looking at dividends and dividend growth, stay home and buy CNQ or SU.
BUY
Exxon Mobil saw a lot of call buying today. He'll jump in tomorrow.
COMMENT
They report Friday. Keep an open mind. The major oils are starting to make a serious effort to offset the damage of oil and shrink their large carbon footprints. This may make ESG money managers interested in buying their stock.
SELL
They will defend their dividend and are benefiting from the rally in oil prices. They will eventually have to transition to other energy. He would be looking to exit.
BUY
It reports Friday. It could surprise to the upside. He expects the CEO to talk a lot about how they're cutting carbon emissions. Yes, even the oil companies have to care about the environment. Will they conserve or buyback shares and raise dividends? Oil prices are up and and costs down, so this could surprise to the upside.
BUY

Integrated company. Under-owned. Energy stocks have been the last to get some mojo. The XOP is still flirting with the downtrend line. If the rest of the commodities keep going, the energy stocks should participate. Pretty good, conservative way to be there. CLR and PXD also look good. Or buy the XOP, which reduces business risk.
