It gets even better, I didn't catch this, a buddy of mine did. Same show, someone asked about Pioneer Energy... know what he said? I kid you not... Coterra.
Coterra like so many oil stocks has been stuck at the same price since Jan. That's alot of time wasted. I know-->NOG.
The most interesting oil stock now is CPG- I am monitoring these crazy wildfires in Alberta that have shut in production// waiting for next earn report.
Isn't that where it was the day I wrote that post? Or was it $47 ~the chart king CTRA is a natty play, not oil. It too is a long term hold. I'm not gonna re-write what I already wrote explaining the LNG angle. Your SOFI will still be below $8 when this thing has doubled.
CTRA is 10% oil. Proven reserves are down around 17%/ Dividend could be higher . Little NOG pays a higher Div- Oil production averaged 90.7 MBbls/d (thousand barrels per day), above the high-end of guidance. Natural gas production averaged 2,780 Mmcf/d (million cubic feet per day), above the high-end of guidance. Including the effect of commodity derivatives, average realized prices for oil and natural gas for fourth-quarter 2022 were $81.57 per Bbl and $4.74 per Mcf, respectively. 2023 Outlook "Guided by principles focused on full-cycle value creation and disciplined capital allocation, Coterra expects to invest approximately 50 percent of its cash flow, at recent strip prices", commented Jorden. "This is expected to result in a 2023 production profile that will be relatively flat year-over-year before returning to modest growth in 2024 and 2025. Coterra's dynamic organization, top-tier assets and industry-leading balance sheet are poised to generate long-term consistent profitable growth." Flat growth and then modest. Meh.

A good honest ceo too then. That's even better. As opposed to to SOFI which loses money, burns cash, and has tons and tons of debt? Which one do you want in an IRA? A 3% dividend stock that also has a buyback in place and the second lowest price producer of natural gas in the country.... or a meme stock that you hope Wsb's might rally behind and get to $7?
