| Why Energy is Paying MORE Than Bonds Right Now (+ my targets) By Blake Young Crude just bounced right back into my favorite zone—$68. If you’ve been in the main room with me, you’ve heard it: 68, 78, 68, 78. It’s happening again. Here’s why this matters: energy stocks don’t need oil at $78 to be moneymakers. Anything above $56 is usually profitable. Above $68? That’s where margins explode. Now, these names are paying more than bonds: XLE: 3.3% Chevron: 4.6% ExxonMobil: 3.5% That’s either matching or beating the 10-year treasury at 3.83%—and you still get price upside. What I’m seeing now: Inverse head & shoulders patterns triggering Higher highs, higher lows across the board A weak dollar losing traction Real-time breakouts on major names ExxonMobil: Breaking out of the monkey bars—looking for a move from $111 to $118
ConocoPhillips: From $94 to $104—an 11% run plus dividends If the dollar stays weak, this sets up a textbook continuation for commodities. That means more upside for oil, energy stocks, and those juicy yields—while you potentially capture 5–12% moves. The window is tight. Tomorrow’s a half-day, Friday’s closed, and earnings kick off later this month. The setup’s there. The signal’s there. The yield is real. Don’t miss this. ▶️ Watch my full energy breakdown here Let energy pay you while you position for the next breakout. – Blake |
