The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

NOLA622 (or anyone)

First thanks for the useful details on recent OXY purchases.

Next, has anyone kept track of the purchases (ignoring sales during the pandemic) and calculated an average price per share?

I ask because this would save me a bunch of transcribing to Excel the data NOLa622 has shared.

My interest is how well has OXY actually performed with respect to Chevron, and even ExxonMobil?

They are somewhat different companies than OXY in that CVX also has more O&G worldwide investments than OXY - plus refining and some petrochemicals. XOM the same - but more so. Much larger in what most call downstream and especially petrochemicals. So I view OXY as a more focused investment on O&G, and especially the Permian. As Buffett has said, a bet on oil prices - a purer play than an O&G industry investment.

So I want to compare how this has worked out so far.

Any help appreciated before I start typing a lot of data - and probably don't have it all.

Tex
