I had to come to Hammond today and I am seeing cars everywhere.
Of the businesses that are open, many have busy parking lots. Bank lines are very long. Gas stations are busy.
Beaches are opening back up and people are chomping at the bit to get away from the house.

I know there’s a lot of excess oil out there being held, but is this heavy activity a good sign for O&G stocks? Today looked like a good day to pick up more stock in this industry due to everything being down.

Btw, I’m a relative newbie in buying individual stocks, so any comments/thoughts would be appreciated.
The majority of financial decisions I’ve made over the years has come from information I initially read here and subsequently researched. My stock picks in the past two months were up 70% before today and they were all picked off of information I first read here.

Maybe it's just cause it's payday.

Not a stock guy, but I'm in industry.

I think oil prices will rebound well back into the 40s possibly 50s by the end of the year. Crude stockpiles are incredibly high right now but with a large portion of wells shut in, we will burn through that stockpile pretty quick. When they reopen these wells, there will be several issues that will reduce how much these wells will produce. I would imagine any that have been shut in will only produce 50% of their normal amount.

Company stocks i doubt rebound until next year. There will be numerous bankruptcies coming which will be good for shale cause its a viable option but prices can't be in the 40s-50s no matter how many people say they breakeven at 35. Companies are posting bad earnings and next quarters will pale in comparison. E&P stocks won't be back up til early next year IMO. But once garbage companies file full chapter 7, the better operators...CoP, EOG, Marathon, will pick them up for pennies.

I think we see a lot of volatility with news of reopenings, followed by significant storage increasing, etc. The good news, bad news cycles that will have people a little jumpy.

I'm hesitant to say that we have hit the bottom with O&G stocks with all the grim news upcoming with rig counts collapsing, demand slowly getting its traction back and so forth.

If you got in around the bottom a few weeks ago, then you will be reaping the benefits in the next 6 month to a year and very happy with your investments.

I don't know shite about O&G. Are refiners the safest play as long as the price and demand of oil continues to creep up?

Seems like they will still be refining no matter the stockpiles or output. There just needs to be enough demand and margin.

You buy whatever oil stocks you want to buy. I'll buy the same amount of VGT or QQQ (I'll even let you pick which one) and we can chat again in 5 years and I am willing to bet I'll come out significantly ahead of you.

People that live in Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma etc. need to diversify and invest in stocks in the industries they don't already work in (O&G, Energy) to reduce risk. Don't bet against the Amazons and Apples and Microsofts of the world man. There is a big world out there beyond O&G, refineries and chemical plants.

I think so. I have a lot in OXY. I think it’s one of the safer O&G plays with a lot of upside. Their acquisition of Anadarko withstanding. Patience will be needed though. This is a long play.

XOM jumped up 50% from lows in late March even with negative oil prices.
