NYSE:XOM
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.
A play on global oil. The coronavirus has taken out 20% demand because of China, but there will be a bounce-back in oil. Global oil has been a tough slog for the last 5 years. You can probably buy it and collect a nice dividend, but BP has a better payout. Don't expect much capital appreciation.
