In general, when markets trend lower, it makes sense to invest in blue-chip stocks. They tend to have a low beta and also provide regular cash flows through dividends. Yet, not all blue chips are created equal. Based on macroeconomic or company-specific factors, there are some you want to buy and some blue-chip stocks to sell. For example, blue-chip retailer Target (NYSE: TGT ) sits 45% below its 52-week high, weighed down by inflationary pressures and margin compression. And pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) is 30% below its high on concerns of a slowdown in growth predominately due to lower Covid-19 vaccine sales. So, investors need to carry out due diligence even with blue chips. Today’s list of blue-chip stocks to sell in October contains popular names that are likely to correct or correct even further.

Against an incredibly dour equities market backdrop, oil firm Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY ) managed a positive return in the afternoon session. Still, OXY stock gyrated significantly to get there. Driving the kinesis for the hydrocarbon player was Warren Buffett. Through Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A , NYSE: BRK-B ), the legendary investor acquired just under 6 million shares of OXY. In doing so, Berkshire’s stake in the energy company is now 20.9%. According to regulatory filings, the conglomerate spent about $350 million on the purchases of OXY stock. The acquired per-share price ranged from $57.91 to $61.38. According to Barron’s , “Berkshire needs to file a form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission within two business days when it buys or sells stock in Occidental Petroleum because it holds more than 10% of the company.” Following the transactions, Berkshire holds 194.4 million shares of OXY stock, worth about $11.9 billion. In August of this year, “a U.S. energy regulator gave Berkshire permission to buy up to 50% of Occidental’s common stock,” according to a Reuters report.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company picked up another $368 million worth of Occidental Petroleum stock this week to give it control of nearly 21% of the oil producer. These are the first purchases Berkshire Hathaway has made since regulators gave it approval last month to buy up to 50% of Occidental, but since February Buffett has been consistently buying shares of the Houston-based company any time they drop below $60 apiece. Berkshire’s Occidental stake is now worth nearly $12 billion after its shares nearly doubled this year after Russia invaded Ukraine and oil prices soared. Occidental’s shares gained nearly 2% Thursday to sell for $62.39 after Berkshire disclosed its latest purchases in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Buffett’s Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate has bet heavily on the oil sector this year. Besides its Occidental purchases, Berkshire bought roughly $20 billion worth of Chevron shares. Berkshire’s Occidental purchases have inspired speculation that Buffett might try to buy the entire company, but Buffett doesn’t generally comment on Berkshire’s stock purchases beyond what it is required to disclose.
Oil prices have fallen from their March highs as demand concerns amid a possible economic downturn have been a drag. As per Reuters, Goldman Sachs lowered its 2023 oil price forecast by $19 per barrel (on average) for the period from Q4 2022 to Q4 2023, reflecting expectations of lower demand and a strong U.S. dollar. That said, the investment bank continues to have a bullish long-term outlook supported by global supply issues amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis. Bearing in mind a volatile market backdrop, we will discuss three oil stocks – EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM).

In the 2020s, investors are torn between two schools of thought. On one side are your parents and grandparents, who did just fine over the years investing in classic energy companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY). On the other hand, new energy firms like Tesla (TSLA), Plug Power (PLUG), and First Solar (FSLR) are grabbing the headlines and capturing the attention of younger traders. Picking between fossil fuel drillers and clean fuel businesses isn''t a political decision, but a practical one.
Why are oil stocks down today? Well, that can be summed up by the decline in energy prices, the rise in the dollar and the fall in stocks.
Two years ago, I wrote about buying on the dip as an investment strategy for those in the FIRE movement. FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early, and involves a commitment to both cutting your daily expenses and an accelerated investment strategy. Today, FatFIRE is the “in” retirement concept. FatFIRE takes things a step further. Devotees to this new movement want to be able to “retire with a fat stash” that allows them to live on around $100,000 a year . According to Fortune, FatFIRE split off from FIRE in 2016 when a Reddit user decided cutting his expenses to the bone wasn’t his idea of a good time. And so the subreddit r/fatFIRE was born. Today, it has more than 330,000 members. The downside of FatFIRE is that it’s incredibly unrealistic. Very few people have the skillset to pull it off. Financial planner Dana Menard puts it at around a tenth of the population. If you believe you’re in this cohort, though, here are seven investments to help you with your FatFIRE dreams.

While both stocks are solid bets on oil prices, one appears to have a more short-term appeal than the other.
It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all amounts to a windfall for an industry that was decimated during the pandemic when oil prices finished 2020 below $50 per barrel. The strong earnings have led to outperformance among energy stocks this year, with many share prices up 25%, 50%, even 100%. Oil stocks have been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for equities. While some analysts continue to debate whether oil prices have peaked, the consensus view is that the earnings of oil companies will remain strong through the remainder of this year. With that in mind, here are seven energy stocks primed for a Q3 earnings gusher.

The news slammed stocks, yields, and the euro while sending oil and commodities sharply higher.

Long before becoming the “Oracle of Omaha,” six-year-old Warren Buffett was an entrepreneur selling sticks of gum and Coca-Cola to earn money. By the time Buffett turned 11 years old, he opened his first position paying $114.75 for Cities Service, a natural gas company founded in 1910. The company no longer exists, as it was purchased by Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY ) in 1982. But, if the position from when Buffett was 11 was still in Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE: BRK-A ) as of January 2019, the investment would be worth $606,611 pre-tax, according to CNBC.

Energy shares have pared their gains in September as oil prices have cooled down. The price of Brent crude is now below $94 per barrel . Yet in early March, it had surged over $130 .Given the decline of oil prices, investors should identify a number of oil stocks to sell. The global oil market is likely to continue to be turbulent throughout the year. Investors’ fears of a global economic decline and the ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns in China — the top importer of crude oil — could be weighing on petroleum prices. Oil traders are also factoring in the negative economic impact of higher interest rates. On the other side of the equation are positive catalysts for oil prices. According to the recent short-term energy outlook of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), “the possibility of petroleum supply disruptions and slower-than-expected crude oil production growth continues to create the potential for higher oil prices.” Put another way, investors should expect more choppiness in energy prices for the rest of 2022.

Buffett''s involvement in Occidental Petroleum has turned a poor performer into one of the stars of 2022. Click here to read our analysis of OXY stock.
Energy stocks have been the best performers of 2022, with the sector up 48% compared with a 14% loss for the broader market. In fact, the only other sector that has generated a positive return this year is utilities, and their 9% gain pales in comparison. Fueling the rise in energy stocks has been the stark increase in oil and natural gas prices. At some point, the boom in energy prices will end and energy stocks will almost certainly give back some of their gains. However, that time is not yet here. And while the rising tide has lifted nearly all boats, it makes sense for investors to focus on the companies with strong earnings and sales growth. They are likely to outperform their peers and retain more of their gains even when the sector turns lower. With that in mind, let’s look at a few energy stocks that investors may want to focus on.

Dave Gilbert here, Editor of Smart Money . Warren Buffett’s investing philosophy can be summed up in this famous quote from him: Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1. The temptation is to say, “That’s it?” But it is a lot harder to do than it is to say, and who’s to argue with someone who is worth nearly $100 billion? Just one Class A share of Buffett’s investment holding company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ( BRK-A ), trades for $415,000. The man clearly knows what he’s doing, so investors follow his every move closely. His annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are viewed as masterclasses in investing. His speeches, media appearances, and interactive sessions at shareholder meetings give us additional insight into the thinking of the man called “The Oracle of Omaha.” So do the quarterly filings of Berkshire Hathaway. These statements to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show the company’s buys and sells from the prior quarter, giving investors a look at the specifics instead of the generalities.

With consumer prices hitting multi-decade highs, investors should consider avoiding the worst stocks to buy during inflation. True, the inflation rate dipped a bit in July to 8.5%. In the month prior, the metric hit 9.1%. Nevertheless, it’s important to realize that overall, consumers have endured sustained spikes in prices. Over time, that can hurt broader sentiment, which in turn imposes challenges on various public companies. To be clear, few institutions benefit holistically from higher prices. For instance, while the hydrocarbon energy sector enjoyed a valuation surge, consumers may eventually reduce their expenditures. Given enough time, this abstinence could make circumstances challenging for previous beneficiaries. However, the worst stocks to buy during inflation stand out because of the red ink they print. While many other factors exist as to why investors should avoid the worst stocks to buy during inflation, InvestorPlace prefers me to be succinct. Therefore, I’m going to go with the rise of risk-off sentiment.

New Delhi, August 25 New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) on Thursday informed the stock exchanges that its promoters are barred from accessing the securities market until November 26, 2022, and thus the Adani Group would need the approval of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to buy its stake.

While Americans may love their furry friends, that sentiment failed to deliver for Petco (NASDAQ: WOOF ) and its second-quarter earnings report, sending WOOF stock plunging Wednesday morning. Shares slipped 6% earlier today before extending losses to about 8% in the early afternoon. Petco disappointed Wall Street, missing expectations for the top and bottom lines. Adding insult to injury, management cut its full-year outlook. For Q2, Petco posted net income of $14.35 million, or 5 cents per share. This figure contrasted sharply and unfavorably with the year-ago quarter’s result of $75.11 million, or 28 cents per share. In addition, Petco’s adjusted per-share earnings came out to 19 cents, below FactSet’s consensus target of 22 cents. On the revenue front, the pet retailer rang up $1.48 billion. Here, the sales tally represented a lift of 3% from the year-ago result of nearly $1.44 billion. Unfortunately, this figure also missed Wall Street’s expectations, which on average called for just under $1.5 billion.
It seems that investors are always on the hunt for the next 10x stocks, relying on long time horizons to deliver massive results. But if time isn’t on your side, these speculative bets may not be worth it. For older market participants, safety is much more important. That’s where safe investments for seniors to consider comes into focus. During an investor’s younger years, financial advisors typically recommend gearing portfolios toward higher-risk, higher-reward profiles. Should circumstances not pan out favorably, the younger investor has time as an asset. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of older demographics. Here, the narrative zeroes in on safety and stability. Rather than attempting to acquire moonshots, retirees prefer to have money coming in with the occasional chance for capital gains. Therefore, safe investments for seniors to consider usually revolve around ideas with proven track records. For this list, I’ve compiled an eclectic series of publicly tradable assets. From individual stocks to mutual funds, these ideas could help foster a less-eventful retirement.
