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. Despite a great year so far, with many energy stocks like Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) more than double the S&P 500’s return, the sector still looks cheap. Plenty of major oil companies with rock solid balance sheets and dividends yielding 3%, 4%, and higher there are bargains to be had.

for our viewers there’s
still some very very good

one of the safest companies
in the world who’s in the

but also want to catch this
move in the oil industry,
there’s a lot of really
good deals out there.
Yeah,

sheets.
Oh, absolutely.
