Crude Awakening: 2 Top Ranked Oil Stocks with Huge Dividend Yields
Read MoreHide Full Article
The price of crude oil has cratered over the last two months, falling from a high of $95 to $69 today. While this move has shifted many speculators to the bearish side, I think they are late, and risk reward favors the long side here.
Barring a full-blown recession in the very near future, I believe the market will soon realize that demand for oil will remain robust, while supply is constrained, which should put a bid below the price of crude.
To make this trade even more appealing, many oil stocks are quite cheap, with some approaching deep value territory, giving investors considerable downside protection.
For investors looking to add exposure to oil stocks with top Zacks Ranks, and generous dividend yields read ahead.
