Which oil company stock would you recommend to buy now?
Not a big expert on the oil and gas industry, but I noticed very high earnings in 2023 by US oil companies (mostly driven by exports). I would always bet on Exxon, and I believe XOM stock carries less risk than the competitors. However, I would like... — read more
Any advice on cheaper alternatives?
I like investing in the oil industry, but XOM is right now above my price league. I would like to get some advice on what could be good cheaper alternatives in the industry. I’m talking about a good performing and stable stock that has good... — read more
How come XOM is so freaking stable?
….given the fact that the O&G industry is cyclical. Can we say that XOM is perhaps the most stable stock in the industry?
A good performance
Considering what's happening lately the stock is performing well.
Is it too early to start selling O&G shares and putting them into other industries?
Maybe a general question and I know that at this point it’s a matter of opinion, but with everything that's going on in the world like the mas introduction of EV’s , alternative forms of energy etc, is it maybe not too early to slowly start dumping... — read more
What do you think about the option of buying a little Exxon and a little Chevron stock?
What do you think about the option of buying a little Exxon and a little Chevron stock? Personally, XOM looks better for me st this moment but I don’t want to put all of my eggs in one basket.
What are the main benefits of buying XOM besides stability?
I ask this question as someone who wants to invest in the O&G sector. The stock is labeled as one of the most stable ones in the industry. That’s obvious. Putting that fiat aside, I want to ask the people that already bought XOM, what are the main... — read more

Best stock in the industry right now.
It's undeniable that XOM dominates the industry right now. You gotta get into it to grab a piece of the pie.
How much money is it possible to make via dividend reinvestment strategy?
I’m thinking of putting in about 10.000 dollars into XOM. It looks stable enough to me. My plan is to gather the dividend money and reinvest it into new XOM shares. I know the market is tough to predict, and I know this strategy takes a long time to... — read more
XOM stock
I think this is a good time to buy.
I don't get the complaints. This is a good and reliable stock.
What I just said. People always complain about XOM. Look at it. It's perfect.
Some advice please
I was hoping to get some tips on good dividend stocks with which I could replace XOM in my portfolio. To be more precise, I am looking for alternatives outside the O&G industry. I figure things could get bumpy in this sector in the years that follow... — read more
XOM has shrunk
Some analysts advocate this stock even though it continues to act poorly. They base their position on predictions that supply imbalances caused by production cuts from OPEC and a recovering Asia Pacific economy will probably remain stagnant for... — read more

How high will it go?
I like the direction XOM is heading and it'll be interesting to see how high it'll go. I have no intention of selling even if it dips again as it did during the early pandemic years, but something tells me I don't have anything to worry about. This... — read more
XOM is too expensive for me, does anyone care to suggest a good O&G alternative?
I think the O&G sector is out of the woods and that better times are coming. With that in mind, I want to invest in an O&G company. XOM looks good to me but it is too expensive for me at 109 dollars where it sits today. Can anyone suggest a cheaper... — read more
I'm thinking about dumping Chevron and buying XOM
Without going into much detail things look like this to me: Chevron seems to have reached its peak for now,while XOM has a great momentum at this moment and has a good potential to provide a significant rise in value in a relatively short amount of... — read more
I wish for more increased dividends
If we look at the last few years, the rate of dividends increase has gone down. I don't like that at all. What will happen in the coming years? Will the growth rate fall even more? I like this stock, but I would also like to see the dividend... — read more
Good free cash flow numbers
I’m reading in the media these days that XOM now ranks as the third biggest generator of free cash flow on th S&P 500 index, trailing only behind Alphabet and Apple. The Oil prices are looking good and the company's business numbers seem to b e... — read more
A good buy even at this price
Even with oil prices going down there's little doubt that XOM is going to continue to deliver. Yes, it was better to buy before the stock rose to nearly $100 again but I believe it is still a good investment even at this price. This and CVX are my... — read more
Now is the time to dump XOM
I am glad that I was wise enough to buy XOm when it took a dive in 2020. Thought that I would hold on to this stock for a long time, or at least that was my plan at the moment. Now, in these strange times, and even though the XOm stock is doing... — read more
XOM continues to positively surprise me
Excellent results from XOM, which is turning out to be a great source of positive surprises for me. For a while, I was worried about its debt being a problem, but the company has proven once and for all that it is more than capable of managing it... — read more
Not a good time to pick up XOM
I understand that most people who buy XOM buy it to be a long time part of their portfolio, but if there was a time not to buy that time is now. Even though the oil prices are good, it didn’t take more that a few days of the Russian-Ukrainian... — read more
Increased dividend and share buybacks
The two things that I like to see a company do to show that it is confident about its future are raising its dividend and initiating share buybacks. XOM, which has been on the rise in the past few months, has done both of those things, which makes me... — read more
Time to dump
The current political climate is not good for O&G companies and taking into account the several recent incidents considering EM specifically, I'd say the stock's prospects don't look good. If you're brave I guess you can continue to hold and hope... — read more
Is it time to dump XOM?
That’s the thought that keeps crossing my mind more and more lately. I have a substantial amount of XOM shares in my portfolio which I bought in early 2020. I was planning to hold on to it for a while, given that at the time I was under the... — read more
Directly tied to price of WTI or not?
A drop from to $52... To some extent I expected that to happen, with new Covid outbreaks combined with a strengthening U.S. dollar and oil price collapse. However, some believe that the price of this stock is not directly tied to the price of WTI. I... — read more
Having faith in XOM paid off
I held some XOM already, and when the stock dropped in September I decided to increase my stake. It was a calculated risk on my part and it paid off. The stock has rallied and I'm very happy with how my portfolio looks currently. I'm even considering... — read more
Being careful is great, but don't start missing out on opportunities
If you're fearful of taking on a stock like XOM due to the company's "uncertain" future, I understand. I get it. I really do. You're being careful and that's smart but in my view, XOM is a "hidden" gem. I hold it for the dividend, for example, but in... — read more
I'd like a dividend increase but
I think it is more important to reduce debt
XOM dividend declared $0.87 per share
Not bad at all, it's the same as the previous quarter and I anticipate that it will grow... Not too shabby at all...
Should I sell or should I hold?
I’ve picked up some XOM shares at the beginning of February. I figured that the demand for oil should spike during the summer and as we are getting out of the pandemic, so I thought that this was a good enough reason for the price to rise. What... — read more
Conflicted about the dividend
As a shareholder I certainly appreciate Exxon’s determination to maintain its dividend but to a certain point. When that determination starts causing downgrades and affecting the stock price, then it might be time to reconsider. The debt is getting... — read more

Is XOM in the mid $50 still a pretty good buy?
Should I sell?
I’ve been holding onto XOM hoping it’ll pick up once again but I’m starting to worry this stock is doomed and I should just sell at a loss. I can understand the market-crash loss but it’s had plenty of time to recover since then and it hasn’t. I just... — read more
