Negative Trend for Oil Exploration and Production Stocks

The market does not apply a large multiple to energy shares. For example, DVN is expected to make 12 bucks this year. But their PE has been 10 or below all year. Apply any reasonable multiple to 12 and look at today's price.

We have a 10 year uptrend in crude, which is still very much intact. But all of the punditry writing for seekingalpha is from daytraders trying to extrapolate a paradigm shift from 5 weeks of correction. The analysts revising earnings are getting twitchy also. I agree with Mr. Stolz, this is an great opportunity to buy.
