When forecasting a stock as correlated to oil prices as ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), it’s critical to consider where crude oil prices could be headed over the next few years.

There are many advantages to investing in small-cap stocks.

While bulletproof dividend stocks genuinely offer a higher probability of protection (over the long run) against an incoming market downcycle, investors growing in their sophistication may want to consider options trades. As derivatives of the underlying securities, options provide incredible flexibility that you can’t get with buy-and-hold dynamics. For one thing, bulletproof dividend payers probably
A double-edged sword if there ever was one, the September jobs report effectively put the Federal Reserve in a bind, catalyzing the case for stocks for rising interest rates.
