Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY)

OXY (#4 in U.S.) has a sparkling rep. Profitable even without the litigation vs Ecuador (Prediction-will settle out of court) Just bot a 2 Bil bank for 250ml and will recoup in 1 yr. Winning contracts worldwide because of their expertise and trustworthiness! Dr Irani is an asset to the Co.

Oil & GAS is a not renewable

good supply sources will help hold against market moves

Love this one

Technical buy.

Well-managed energy company.

Oil stocks in general will continue to underperform the overall market in the short-term due to the economic realities of the recession we're in and the negative spiral effect it has on the demand side. As long as the demand is down, overall profitability will remain squeezed.

No brand value in the black goo. But it's limited and in high demand.

Occidental risks having their assets in certain South American countries seized. But that is a risk for many other oil companies as well. Those that are not at risk have probably not increased their production recently.

Growth adjusted PE is more than twice the industry average--the low current PE is misleading as earnings are falling with oil prices.

strong energy play

Natural gas one of several natural energy solution as oil prices rise in the future.

Very good company

Gaming the system again: banking a positive score (6.59), while lowering my cost basis form $56 to $49.

Needless to say, I remain positive on this one.

caps 5 star in SP 500

oxy-this going to be a buy & hold for my oil & gas portfolio. fools this is the one sector that i lack in my portfolio as i stayed away from these type of stocks due to the highly infalted prices of oil. fools buy & hold & watch the money roll in. 3/5 hold!!!!!!!!!!!! fool on

I like this company. Big growth, good investment returns, manageable debt, and a decent amount of cash are all key in this environment. Their new contract with Bahrain should help keep their production costs low. Oil is still volatile, but seems to be channeling upward, and I think gas is even more undervalued right now. I also like the chemical exposure; chemical stocks have been performing relatively well lately.

In all, I think Occidental, like other oil stocks with big gas exposure (such as COP), is undervalued and will outperform the sector, to say nothing of the S&P, as oil and gas prices recover. Strong buy in the low 50s.

Look for the climb in the post inaugural days. Stocks could be up as much as 75% just like the days following FDR.

Oil companies will benefit from the rebound of oil. This one has unreal profits in particular. TDRH

Now that the economy is leveling off, Oil Will Go Back UP!
