Do the Saudi's know what they're doing?
I would say there hasn't been a more ambiguous period in the modern history of KSA. With the transition of power to King Salman the KSA has:
* Reduced relations with Iran.
* Fight a war in Yemen
* Restructured Aramco and the KSA Ministry of Oil (Huge)
* Removed key gov't figures and replaced them with Salman's appointees.

The Street.com lists the 3 oil majors biggest risk to cut their dividends:

Some of these big names have attractive dividends which might look like a safe shelter in these turbulent times. After all, it's increasingly hard for investors to find decent, reliable income vehicles. However, with crude showing no signs of arresting its fall, investing in these big oil names might be a trap.
Let's see which of these names face the biggest risks of getting their dividends cut.
1) BP
2) Conoco Phillips
3) Chevron

Do you think there's a reason XOM is not on that list?

Are we talking cutting dividends out completely or just cutting back some? If BP just cuts it back some I'm ok with it.

Do you think there's a reason XOM is not on that list?

you buy more shares at depressed prices. so what if dividends are temporarily cut to help company? You load up now and you make a killing later in capital appreciation PLUS all your new shares you will get dividends on after it is restored if you choose to hold.

Oh I agree, I clicked on link but it didn't take to article so I was just curious what else it said. I won't be selling for another 15-20 years.

Glad they're not ... while I know I SHOULD reinvest every $$$ of those dividends it's my "mad money" that I spend on what I want and have no guilt about.

I'm not so sure I'm holding long term anymore. It depends. I think i will go all in on capital appreciation and then set my stop-losses once we get to a level of profit i can accept. If i get stopped out so be it. If not I will keep holding.

Rebound happening now.
Posted on 1/20/16 at 1:23 pm to LSUneaux
Down 380. I'll hold off

Inventory update in the next hour. Oil could plunge again very soon!

Anyone bought KMI yesterday?

Ok, so I'm a 100% novice in the stock market. im looking to invest ~10000 in oil and gas. this is what i have come up with, please advise. Its expendable money, but i would like it to be a semi educated investment.
Long term (8-10yrs, maybe more) (ADR) ($5000)
shorter term (MRO) ($4,000) (3-4yrs)
and just a shot in the dark (EXXI) (1,000)
I honesty dont even know if there is a min $ amount you have to spend to get into this game, and i will talk to an adviser, but what yall think?

Avoid the shot in the dark and make XoM your long term
Posted on 1/21/16 at 10:21 am to TigerTatorTots
Yeah XOM should be your "buy and forget" company.
Posted on 1/21/16 at 10:42 am to Elusiveporpi
I did the same on Tuesday. Just get the robinhood app. I bought 600 shares of mro when it was $7.20 and I bought 150 shares of COP. Just gonna set it there and forget about it.

VDE - Vanguard Energy Fund. It's an energy ETF and that mimics their energy index fund (without the index fund's $100,000 minimum investment and the ETF has a lower expense ratio).
You get an index weighted exposure to all the big boys without having to worry about individual company research. Let the pros manage the fund to follow the industry index because you're not an analyst and splitting hairs among Exxon, Conoco, BP and Phillips 66 is a waste of time if it's not your full time job.
