Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY-N)

Berkshire just added to their large position, now 28%. This is a make or break quarter for energy. There's a divergence between the spot price of oil and oil stocks. Stop looking at that price which had gone nowhere in over 2 years.

With a strong balance sheet and earnings growth, OCY bought Crownrock. However, this won't make a difference in the face of supply of crude oil overwhelming demand. Yes, Berkshire's ownership is like a stamp of approval and is a big reason to own Oxy.

Is shocked this hasn't move up more after Buffett added more shares and the war in the Middle East.

He bought this late. Bought it because one of the greatest investors, Buffett, in the world bought it. Energy is a tough sector; expects the momentum will eventually turn and oil falls to the $80s.

Investors think the oil market is still in 2022. It's not. Would sell energy, though still holds this. Is nothing more than a hold.

Likes it. Encouraging. Warren Buffett, one of the shrewdest, most patient investors of all time, is stepping up in the face of widespread negative sentiment. The most uncomfortable buys are usually the best ones. Don't chase the herd and buy NVDA. Be patient and tune out the noise.
