DD51~ Aldi & Change. XOM, CVX, ALB, PEP. Screeching Weasel!
Sit right back and hear a tale, a tale of a young dapper man and how he was determined to change. Recapping the buys of the week and my opinion on the beaten down oil stocks. I did forget to add that I believe the companies that are diversified and not just "drill and sell" will be able to survive this. Oil needs to remain above $40 a barrel, and I am confident in the big, fully diversified companies with decent balance sheets. Although Chevron has a better balance sheet than ExxonMobil, I think they will both be able to sustain their dividend. Time will tell!!
