Marathon Oil: It HAsn't Been a Smooth Ride Up
MRO
-26.94%

Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Marathon Oil (MRO)  If you're looking for a smooth ride or a vector north, you'll want to avoid the shares of Marathon Oil Corp (MRO), first discussed here on April 20, 2009, at a price of $28.55.
Marathon shares remain on the mend, but talk about fits and starts: $5 jumps higher are followed by $4 retracements south. Further, Marathon cleared clutter near $35 this fall, only to fall back. Even so, a mild Marathon uptrend remains intact, hence the evaluation to stick with the trade. Continue reading Marathon Oil: It HAsn't Been a Smooth Ride Up <><>Marathon Oil: It HAsn't ...

The Shares of Marathon Oil Remain on the Mend
MRO

(closed on 11/23/10)
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Marathon Oil (MRO) The shares of Marathon Oil Corp (MRO), first discussed here on April 20, 2009 at a price of $28.55, remain on-the-mend.
Marathon reported June quarter earnings per share of $1.11, excluding 11 cents in charges, and well above the 81-cent First Call estimate.
The June quarter performance was enough to push Marathon's shares slightly higher, and the stock's technical indicators now are more-closely aligned with the company's fundamental indicators -- thus averting a closed position, for now.<><>Continue reading <>The Shares of Marathon Oil Remain on the M...

Marathon Oil Is Trying Investors' Patience
MRO
+6.87%

(closed on 08/04/10)
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Marathon Oil (MRO)  Marathon Oil (MRO), first discussed here on April 20, 2009 at a price of $28.55, will probably achieve production gains averaging 4-5% over the next three years, but will that be enough to break the stock's $28-35 year-long trading range?
The calculation here is that MRO has three months to do it. If if can't break the range in the summer months -- historically a good period for oil and refined-product prices -- then the technical indicators will have contradicted fundamental indicators for too long, and that almost always calls for exiting the p...

Marathon Oil Continues to Meander

(closed on 04/21/10)
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Marathon Oil (MRO)  We're still waiting for the tide to come back in with Marathon Oil (MRO), and it's a close call but I'm reiterating my buy rating for the company's shares, first recommended on April 20, 2009 at a price of $28.55.
In 2010, Marathon's annual oil/natural gas production should increase at an adequate rate in, but the key remains what happens to currently low refining margins: some improvement in margins should start by mid-2010. If it doesn't, MRO's stock will underperform and this position will be closed.<><>Continue reading <>Marathon Oil Continues t...

Filed under: Stocks to Buy Readers of the this space know that two preferred sectors are integrated oil and refining sectors. Would that the United States could wean itself from oil relatively quickly and transition to a cheap, environmentally-friendly, alternative energy source (natural gas, electric, fuel cell) for auto transportation. Unfortunately, as researchers remind us, that goal is at least a decade away, which means companies like Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) will remain in the catbird seat.
