Occidental Petroleum CEO talks the CrownRock deal, Chevron and Hess and natural gas prices

[@temmyolarewaju9371]

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

@@FernandoBowen-78 The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?

So, I just read that Chevron and Hess are expecting the FTC to review their merger in the third quarter. This is huge news for the oil industry!

[@SantosCliff]

Yeah, that’s a big deal. If the merger goes through, it could really shake up the market. We might see some significant shifts in stock prices for both companies.

[@ParkerRoyce-ni5pw]

Definitely. Mergers like this often lead to cost reductions and increased efficiency, but they can also result in job losses and higher prices for consumers. It's a mixed bag for the economy.

[@JimRex-sf8bt]

And don’t forget the regulatory hurdles. The FTC review isn’t a sure thing; they could put the brakes on if they think it will harm competition.

[@RockRex-lx7lg]

True. But as investors, we need to stay ahead of these developments. This is where having a solid financial advisor comes in handy. Someone like Desiree Ruth Hoffman can really help navigate these waters.

[@SantosCliff]

Oh, for sure. I’ve been working with her for over a year now. She always seems to know what’s coming and helps me adjust my portfolio accordingly.

If there is a peace deal in the middle east oil pull back?

[@markpiersall9815]

No. That is when the Venezuelan-Guyana Crisis begins, ha ha.

As U.S. 🇺🇸 Economy Forwards , $60.66 Is Little Under Value On This Stock. How About $63.50 At Its Current Position ! Sincerely, ❤️❤️❤️, KNT.

Sue them? You owe everything you benefit from daily on oil. Everything you use on a daily basis, whether your car or your house or your energy usage is made with oil. Also, US emissions is cleaner than ever in history and OXY's DAC will be utilized for carbon-neutral fuel which is right around the corner (2025).
