  • XOM
    Exxon Mobil Cp
  • $72.61
  • -0.33%
  • $72.46

“If Obama had once emphasized energy independence, we could justify the natural gas stocks flying. If he once said that he felt that cars should be powered with compressed natural gas, then it would be terrific to buy these stocks up here. And if he ever said that he favored tax breaks to drill for natural gas, then you could see why Halliburton (HAL) or Nabors (NBR) deserve to trade higher. If Obama has ever indicated that he was not bothered by an oil company making $14.3 billion, as Exxon Mobil (XOM) did, then I would feel better about this stock's ascent. If he said -- perhaps I missed it -- that the oil profits must not be touched, or if he said that it is only fair that this lucky company gets to pay out huge dividends and be taxed at the same rate as everyone else, then I would be happy to keep taking it up. Same with Chevron (CVX). How many times did I write here that every time you saw this stock yield 4% you had to buy it, which is just what I did for Action Alerts PLUS. But if you read the alerts today, you know that I said I would love to take some Chevron off the table, simply because it has so overshot the range, and it is hard to believe it can be up tomorrow unless McCain wins. I know in a blow-off it is impossible to identify anything worth selling. The momentum is too great, and the possibility of fading is too dangerous. But I am willing to lose some oils here, if only because I would probably be selling some up here even if McCain were a shoo-in!”

Q. fcx target?
11.11.09 | 09:30 AM Asked by BearcatJS

A. if you pull up a chart of fcx and
overlay the $SPX on it you'll see a
direct correlation since march. they're
talking about resuming a dividend. that
should help. but for now i'd say as goes
the s n p, so goes fcx. no one can tell
you a target price with any certainty
