Energy was a bright spot in Tuesday’s market largely due to strong earnings from BP (BP). How should you trade the rest of big oil earnings?

-
MRO
Marathon Oil Corp - $33.02
- -0.93%
- $33.24
I’m bearish on oil, explains Deutsche analyst Paul Sankey. The winter forecast doesn’t seem terribly fierce demand is falling and supplies are certainly adequate. Also Marathon (MRO) has a new refinery coming on line. If you're looking for a trade, consider long ConocoPhillips (COP) but as a restructuring story and outright short Valero (VLO) because refiner margins are shrinking, he says.

COP
Conocophillips - $52.08

BP
Bp Plc - $57.83
- -1.36%
- $57.38
Najarian said he continues to like BP (BP) for its attractive dividend and the $3 billion it has saved from cost-cutting. "The numbers continue to work for BP," he said.

-
HES
Hess Cp - $58.84
- +2.22%
- $57.93
I believe oil prices will sustain, said Joe Terranova and I’ve got my eye on Hess (HES). It’s highly correlated to the price of oil so I’m thinking Q3 will be strong. I’d be a buyer of Hess as a bet that oil moves higher from here.

-
RIG
Transocean Ltd - $83.80
- -1.67%
- $84.83
I’d play the space with the oil services names, such as RIG (RIG), said Karen Finerman.

-
SUN
Sunoco Inc - $25.93
- +1.53%
- $25.53
I do think in the refining space you can own a name like Sunoco (SUN) or possibly Holly Corp. (HOC), Terranova added.

HOC
Holly Cp - $26.32
- +0.42%
- $26.19
