121 MINING INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
OIL & GAS STOCKS
NOTE: Some of these oil & gas stocks have taken substantial runs in December, 2019. However, it appears that for money, with oil over $55 – $60 a barrel that free cash flow for many will create fantastic trading opportunities in 2020 and that can not be ignored… the entire sector is getting some attention finally so if oil price does better in 2020, there will be some great trading opportunities in these stocks.
