The street has been wrong on OXY all the way up the last two years. Wells had a target of less than 40 as recently as March. Who cares what Zacks and Evercore think ? In a week or less they will have no effect on the share price. But oil above $120 will. A billion and a half of free cash a month will find a home in shareholders pockets one way or another. Thats a crazy amount of cash on a $65b market cap. At that run rate they go to investment grade by labor day. And can get rid of half the preferred this year. Hollub can't do a dilutive deal either with Buffett's 22% stake around her neck. It's a terrific risk/reward story. Don't make it more difficult watching tic by tic.$Occidental(OXY)$
