Looks like a BEAR ripped the A$$ off HD from Friday New Trade suggestion??? Makes me doubt a person's credibility when no follow up on trade suggestions are made, and this used to not be the case because list of current positions were provided along with some advice. I make my own trade decisions anyway so I'm only to blame if I make a bad trade, but there are many people who trusted Greg to give good trading advice that go lets hanging out to dry??? That is why this channel is dead now every since Greg got distracted by this FREAK SHOW and stopped giving solid trading advice, and once upon a time Greg's advice was somewhat useful to give you an

Idea of what might happen moving forward. RIPPING & SHREDDING!!!

I hear you. It's all perspective though. Everyone is a genius in a bull market. The pandemic strategy was literally pick any stock and it went up. Now we're slowing down it seems.

XOM is one of my core stock positions and I'm up 33% this year as well as receive a 5.7% dividend every quarter, and I'm also LONG XOM with Call positions, but the price seems to be trading sideways every since the TREE HUGGERS who hate OIL got elected to the board of directors in a hostel takeover of management??? I think XOM will get above the $64.02 yearly high and move to $70 in a few weeks with the economy opening back up and summer travel season!!!

XOM has done well YTD. I like energy midstream companies as core dividend positions as well. Check out OKE for a 6.9% dividend and ENLC for a 7.3% dividend.

Good to see a constructive conversation on here...I too hold energy as part of my core position. I own the other two but I will have to look into ENLC. Thanks guys.

OKE sustained it's dividend through Covid while ENLC had a cut. Both are recovering nicely with healthy fundamentals. I know many people on here are focused on high risk speculation, but over time core dividend positions keep the lights on.

I fully agree...I see calpers just sold off a bunch of ENLC in their last 13f...I'm not sure how much ESG is affecting institutional decisions, but all I know is we lost one pipeline company for a week and people started hoarding gasoline in garbage bags...I'll keep my core energy positions and collect those dividends ;-)

Excellent point. ESG is certainly gaining momentum and I'm not anti-advancement by any means but the world is still very much dependent on oil in the foreseeable future. I'll keep collecting those dividends as well. When green energy really starts to accelerate, nuclear will be front and center. Anyone invested in Uranium?

Thats a good way of putting it...I'm not anti-advancement, but as Will Blackwell mentioned above...we might be a long way off from those solar jets ;-) Kidding aside...Yes, I have been building a bullish nuclear/uranium thesis. Are you currently invested?

OK, Thanks I will check them out. XOM paid 8.37% at the end of last year, but because the stock price shot up so high it made the dividend % less, but I'm very happy owning XOM for sure!!!

I've been in XOM for a while now, and also in and out on XOM calls. I trade XLE calls now to leverage my oil long thesis.

Well Well Well, there looks like a 3rd. activist Tree Hugger might be replacing another one of XOM Board Members??? Wonder what their motive is??? Lets see how far an electric Tank or solar power Jet can go fighting a WAR??? I bet the Tree Huggers fly to the Board Meetings in a JET!!!
