$HAL oil play
Tonight we saw many stocks start to run, including HAL and CVX. I’m thinking of buying HAL and CVX calls tmr, do you guys think that this run will last or will it dump tmr? I personally think this run is going to last. Let me know what you guys …
Venezuela headlines won’t move markets the way people think
Seeing a lot of hype around the impact of Venezuelan oil on oil markets and U.S. gulf coast refiners. I think folks need to temper down expectations. Re-routing Venezuela’s 900k bpd from China to U.S. gulf coast refiners is simply a trade shuffle and won’t result in any supply/demand changes …
Are you doubling down on losing stocks if fundamentals still look good?
Let’s say you bought a stock because the fundamentals looked solid, but then it dropped 10%, 20%, or even 50% over the next few weeks or months. What would you do in that case? In theory, if nothing has changed fundamentally, averaging down makes sense. But sometimes it’s hard to …
How do you mentally cope with missing out on major market moves that would have made you a lot of money?
I had a call option for exxon mobil that I sold last week because my date till expiration was coming up on the 16th and I had already held it for 4 months. I made $75. My call was for a strike price of $120 and I bought it for …
How many of your trades actually come from screens vs. other sources?
Genuinely curious how people find their trade ideas. I've been tracking where my last 50 trades came from: * \~40% from screens/scanners * \~30% from watchlist I built over time * \~20% from social media/fintwit mentions * \~10% random (news, someone mentioned it, etc.) The problem: my screen trades have …
Is Chevron or Exxon a buy after US companies are set to take over Venezuelan oil?
Question: Gas prices are already low with high supply. With potentially increased supply from Venezuela coming soon, how will the stock valuations of oil companies be affected? If increased supply means lower price at the pump, is the stock value expected to go down? Are there any sector ETF recommendations?
Some thoughts on Venezuela
Venezuela’s infrastructure is broken. Pipelines are 50 years old and leaking. It will take billions and years of work by companies like **Schlumberger** and **Halliburton** to get production back to 2 million barrels per day. Now to the reffineries: The real money in this scenario is made through the crack …
Euro hedged sp500
Basically the title. Since Trump wants to devalue the dollar. Would it not be better to be euro hedging the sp500 if i live in europe? With everything going on in the world im a bit unsure to do right now. I know that in the long term this should …
McKesson and Cardinal
These companies seem interesting as boring but hard to disrupt middlemen - performance for a while has been stellar. I was surprised how good a year they had in 2025 while there is so much interest in disrupting them (eg. Mark Cuban) and so much attention on high healthcare pricing. …
Boom for CVX (Chevron)?
Now that Trump owns Venezuela what is the future for Chevron? He says that the oil companies will spend "billions" to fix their oil structure but that they will be rewarded. Chevron was one of the few companies, and the only U.S. company, that stayed and operated under the thumb …
