don't worry about fundamentals or technical analysis just wait for Central Banks to make announcements.

Not really big on stocks, but had a friend tell me to buy oil now while it's low. But he wouldn't give me a particular stock. :pacspit: Any suggestions?

Oil still hasn't really settled but some of the stocks have risen in recent weeks maybe showing signs of a bottom in oil.

I've always like the big blue chips like Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). If you read back through the last couple pages a bunch of guys name smaller oil companies they like. I'd be cautious though I'm not sure oil has settled yet.
