In today’s episode of the 24/7 Wall St Podcast Lee Jackson and Doug McIntyre take a look at the energy sector. In December the United States produced more oil than any country in history.

Plenty of major oil companies with rock solid balance sheets and dividends yielding 3%, 4%, and higher there are bargains to be had.

good deals out there.
