The ParadoxWhile we all see oil price going up, oil equities prices are not following up; they instead are stalled or going down. You wonder why? Simple. Equities do not believe the current price of the underlying commodity is sustainable. So, the higher the oil price, the riskier the equities price rise. For the share prices to go up, the companies must reduce debt, increase production with the least capital expenditure, reduce the float, raise the dividend, and make up for the depletion rate of the resource. In other words, we cannot expect WTI to go up for ever. The boost of the share price will come from the company policy and performance and that is coming. So some patience is needed.
