In this episode of the "Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas" podcast, Chancellor Kent Hance engages in a compelling conversation with Vicki Hollub, President and CEO of Occidental Petroleum. They discuss Hollub's leadership journey, the strategic acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum, and the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent oil price war. Hollub shares insights into Oxy's commitment to sustainability, including efforts to reduce carbon emissions and develop direct air capture technology. The episode highlights Hollub's adaptive leadership style, her focus on employee welfare, and the importance of innovation in addressing climate change within the oil and gas industry.

The Chris Watts case is a notorious criminal case that gained widespread media attention in 2018. Chris Watts was a seemingly ordinary family man living in Frederick, Colorado, with his wife, Shanann Watts, their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, and baby Nico on the way. The family appeared to be living a typical suburban life, with Chris working at Anadarko Petroleum and Shanann working as a a distributer of THRIVE, a product from an MLM called Le-Vel. Because of this, she frequently shared updates about their life on Facebook, which she was unfortunately harshly criticized about after her death. On August 13, 2018, pregnant Shanann Watts and her two daughters were reported missing by her best friend, Nickole Atkinson. Initially, Chris Watts appeared on Denver 7 News, pleading for their safe return, but being a big weirdo about it. He was such a giggle little creep, and I posted the interview from them. However, as the investigation unfolded, inconsistencies in his statements and behavior raised suspicions. Between his neighbor's interview showing the security footage of Chris clearly being full of crap and Nichol Kessinger coming forward admitting to the affair, things weren't looking good for Christopher Watts. After being subjected to questioning by law enforcement officials, Terry Lee and Agent Coder, Chris Watts eventually confessed to murdering his wife Shanann and their two daughters. He admitted to ending Shanann in a fit of rage after a heated argument and then subsequently their two daughters. (I also posted the confession interrogation as well, sooo….) Tragically, the bodies of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste were found on the property of an oil company where Chris Watts worked. Shanann's body was buried in a shallow grave, while the bodies of the two girls were found submerged in oil tanks. Is Chris Watts innocent? Why would he do this? Is he just a narcissist? Perhaps a sociopath, or (according to him) because of his mistress Nichol Kessinger? (But, as far as I could find, Nichol and Chris Watts aren't even together anymore, so it's not as if that matters anyway.) Come along, Creepy Crew, this is a Body Cam and interrogation heavy episode about the Chris Watts Case. Comment “narcissist” if you have made it this far. . creepsandcreeps.com .

In the summer of 2018, Chris Watts and his then wife Shan'aan had just discovered they were expecting a son to join their 4 year old Bella and 3 year old Celeste. They lived in a suburb of Denver, a town called Frederick, Colorado. The lives of the couple centered around their daughters, as they were balancing Chris' job as an operator at Anadarko Petroleum and Shan'aan's frequent business trips for a nutrition supplement company called Le-Vel. Outwardly, the two appeared to be a happy family, but Shan'aan had been telling her friends about some trouble in the relationship between her and Chris - despite this, no one could have predicted the horrors that were about to unfold. This episode covers the months that led up to Chris murdering Shan'aan and their two daughters, the investigation that followed, his conviction, and his eventual confession that disturbed even the most experienced of law enforcement officers.

Brian Dress, director of research at Left Brain Investment Research, explains the firm's growth-oriented investment strategy extends to high-yield bonds and why that puts Occidental Petroleum's debt into the market's sweet spot now. Coming off the purchase of Anadarko Petroleum at the worst possible time for the oil business, Occidental has been paying down debt, has great underlying growth prospects as energy businesses recover and its bonds have moved closer to investment-grade level, giving them possible upside over the next few years beyond their high rates.

In this week’s episode of the Periodical Podcast, your hosts Kevin and Tavis discuss how E&P mergers and acquisitions tend to strengthen physical positioning and induce an expanded asset portfolio, but often come with extra baggage in the form of outstanding debt. By investigating Occidental Petroleum’s acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum where the outstanding debt left the oil major struggling to keep their head above water, a prediction can be made regarding Chevron’s new acquisition of Noble Energy on whether or not the merger will be successful.

Chevron agreed on July 20, 2020, to acquire Noble Energy for $5 billion, or $10.38 per share. The announcement comes a bit more than a year after Chevron’s unsuccessful bid for Anadarko Petroleum, and will increase Chevron’s upstream presence in Global Gas and North America unconventionals. We discuss with IHS Markit experts the deal’s implications for the sector, and whether it signals a resurgence in Upstream M&A going forward.

Activist hedge funds hurt research & development budgets at U.S. corporations, which has a broader negative impact on the economy.At least that's the view of Columbia Law School Professor John Coffee, who spoke with The Deal for its Activist Investing Today podcast about a study he co-authored on the impact of insurgent managers on corporations and the markets overall.In a wide-ranging conversation, Coffee explained what he thinks is going on with Carl Icahn's objections to Occidental Petroleum's acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum and what he thinks might be at play when activists try to nullify blockbuster mergers. Coffee, who runs Columbia's Center on Corporate Governance, also discussed his thoughts on a new Securities and Exchange Commission effort seeking to rewrite the rules for proxy advisers Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis.

On this week's episode of Tape Talk, Quint and Daniel discuss an edge that "professional" or large investors have in investing markets as well as some ways the individual investor might benefit. Headlines One of the major stories making headlines this week was Warren Buffett’s backing of Occidental Petroleum in its attempt to acquire Anadarko Petroleum after the company announced plans to be acquired by rival Chevron. An article by Bloomberg illustrates the benefits a large and well-connected investor such as Warren Buffett has in ensuring that potential opportunities literally come calling. Big Investor's Moves Aren't Secret Even though large investors get the first mover advantage in many circumstances, their moves and investments are hardly shrouded in secrecy. In fact, as Quint and Daniel discuss, many of these investment managers are obligated to report their investments and changes on a quarterly basis. While this data is delayed, it does give investors insight into what some of the large money managers on Wall Street are putting their money behind. Look For Opportunity, Carefully While investors can get a peek into what money managers are doing, investors would be wise to develop their own thesis rather than blindly following. The reason is simple, reading a buy and sell report hardly tells you the whole thesis and strategy a money manager may be following. However, as Quint points out, there are times when you may be able to assess an investment made by a money manager and ultimately enter that position at a better price or value than the large manager. Patience and a watchful eye are critical in these circumstances!

I'm joined by merger-arb and event trader Joshua Goldberg to discuss the various scenarios and possible outcomes in the current battle for Anadarko Petroleum.

Employers added more workers to payrolls in October, according to the government's closely watched jobs report that showed the labor market significantly stronger than Wall Street expectations. There was a net gain of 166,000 jobs in the month. Economists had forecast an 80,000 increase in the period. The unemployment rate stayed at 4.7 percent. Treasuries fell after the government released the jobs report, suggesting that the U.S. economy is weathering the worst housing slump in 16 years. Investors sold bonds as the Labor Department data encouraged traders to reduce bets that the Federal Reserve will cut borrowing costs once more this year. This week the Fed said inflation and growth risks are ``roughly balanced.'' Orders for U.S.-made factory goods rose 0.2% in September on higher gasoline prices. Orders for durable goods, such as airplanes and computers, fell 1.7% on a big drop in orders for defense aircraft and other defense goods. Excluding defense goods, orders for factory goods rose 1.3%.In Forex News TodayThe U.S. dollar fell against the euro in early trading Friday as markets looked ahead to the release of non-farm payrolls data amid continuing worries about the credit crunch. The 13-nation euro bought $1.4471 Friday, up from the $1.4462 it bought in late New York trading, but down from Wednesday's record high of $1.4503. The U.S. currency plummeted Wednesday after the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by a quarter of a point, and has continued to suffer from market jitters about the U.S. economy driven by the sub-prime market crisis as markets looked ahead to the release of information about the October U.S. non-farm payrolls data later Friday. In addition, the euro has been helped by sentiment that the European Central Bank has yet to finish a gradual campaign of rate increases, while the pound has benefited from expectations that the Bank of England will leave rates untouched rather than follow the Fed in cutting the cost of borrowing.Scheduled Economic Reports (Next Week)ISM Services Index, Productivity, Wholesale Trade, Consumer Credit, Trade, Import Prices, and Consumer SentimentIn Earnings NewsChevron (CVX) reported third-quarter net income fell 26%.
