In my view, energy is the economy and a well diversified portfolio betting on the growth of the economy should at least consider including energy stocks (in my view a must). Other energy sources such as Nuclear will be the future, but the reality is that the world needs energy sources available now to help transition to clean energy. Until you need to get out the market because demand is not there anymore for oil, the well run energy companies will have returned the initial investment many times over

There we go for Occidental: Looking like they made huge investments back in 2019 to grow, but those investments do not seem to be profitable, since their income has been very low in the current oil price environment. They really seem to have production costs that are close to the current oil price

And for Chevron: Looking better, but not showing as much bottom line (profit) growth as Exxon. Exxon is just an amazing capital allocator

where do you see oil futures going from here?

I am using tradingview (for free), which has a pretty nice dashboard and things like dividends and what you might need. Otherwise I am also using my brokers (Degiro) which has the most important info as well.

I also created a nice tool for myself which sends you a monthly summary to your mailbox of what has been going on with the company. It is more for value investors who want to understand the underlying business, but if you are interested to try it out, let me know!
