EXXON Using a Buy and Hold Strategy

We are in the month of November.  As I told you in early October, I do not buy investments in the month of October. In fact, I am basically a noninvestment grade corporate bond investor.  But I do buy some stock and I buy stock for my friends with their money.  I sold their stock in early October and bought in late October in anticipation for  the yearend rally.

On October 30th, I started buying Exxon Mobil Corporation (Stock Symbol: XON)for my friends using a "Buy and Hold" Strategy.  The high this year has been $104.76 and the low has been $86.91. The lowest that I received for my friends has been $97.11. The price as of the time I am writing this article was $96.50.

Exxon Mobil Corp.'s stock recorded a trading volume of 13.23 million shares, above its three months average volume of 11.80 million shares. The company's shares oscillated between  $95.72 and $97.16 during a recent session. Over the last three trading sessions and over the past one month, Exxon Mobil Corp.'s shares have advanced 2.19% and 2.09%, respectively.


However, the stock has fallen by 4.56% since the start of this year. The stock is trading above its 50-day moving average of $94.99, while the 50-day moving average is below Exxon Mobil Corp.'s 200-day moving average of $97.89. Additionally, the stock traded at a PE ratio of 12.16 and has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 59.09.
 

In my opinion, this means that XON is at or near its bottom prices. This stock is ideal for buying a little each pay and selling at a higher price. This is called a "buy and hold" strategy. The best account to use for people with very little means to invest is the Sharebuilder's Plan.


People have a mono-view of things. Looking at the oil market is no different. People think that because gasoline prices are falling, that this is a "win-win" for the public. Such people do not know how the economy works. For example, low price oil can put fracking oil producers out of business and furlough workers. Fracking Oil Supply Companies will suffer and people will be furloughed.

Plunging Oil Prices Have Unpredictable Impact on Politics, Economics


Exxon Corporation can produce profitable oil even if they shut down fracking operations and will have plenty of oil ready for a rising oil and gas market, meaning the price of XON will rise.
