Good Time for Value Investors to Get in on Big Oil?

[Seleskya + 50]

It's been a pretty dull year to invest in Big Oil, but I see a few right now that would make sense for a value investor. Occidental looks solid for growth prospects that are above the industry average, even if it's not there quite yet. The stock has lost 1% this year, but it's planning to grow production b 5-8% annually.

Yeah, $OXY has great high-revenue Permian Basin assets ... I agree. Good value for the New Year, even with oil at $50.

I'd be watching the XLE because this EFT tracks big energy and if it hits highs again over $70 (and stays there a bit)  I think we'll see a clear sentiment shift for oil and gas.
