Cutting my positions in integrated oils today with a small sale of some OXY, a smaller sell of some COP, and just a little trimming of CVN, SU, PBR. Closed a full XOM position and remaining PBRa shares. These all in my Etrade account, the account balance of which I am trying to reduce.

I'm playing this theory: Integrated are or will have a harder time replacing all of the oil reserves they use. Geopolitical issues and lack of big oil finds are issues. Smaller e&p companies are more nimble and seem more able to replace or increase their reserves. So maybe a focus there is better (Or maybe not. Integrates have money/resources and can support stock with buybacks and div. increases.) Deepwater oil exploration will continue to be in strong demand by the big, well-funded integrateds or governments with off-shore reserves.

I cut back NBR (Etrade again) substantially today with a view to add back later.

Meanwhile in another account I upped my small positions in Transocean and Seadrill (My bet continuing to be on billionaire entrepreneur Mr. Fredriksen, Chairman).
