- EOG Resources (EOG -1.7%) spiked as much as 4.7% in late trading just before closing lower, apparently in response to a Betaville report that market rumors say a "major oil company" is considering a bid for EOG.
- The oil company evaluating a bid is not known, although the speculation centers on companies such as Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Total (NYSE:TOT), according to the report.
- The Betaville report is an "uncooked alert," a term it uses to refer to market gossip.
- Power Hedge sees EOG as "a very good energy pick for investors to ride out the turbulence and get paid for doing so," according to a report posted recently on Seeking Alpha.
