Maybe if the vote is for a change in leadership the stock price will get a bump independent of a rise in oil prices.

Very funny! Truth is stranger than fiction.

  1. S.: Armand Hammer actually made a cameo appearance as himself on the Cosby show when it was at its height in the late 1980s.

@6aka+1a7KbZDt - “The investors love her?”

Everybody Loves Vicki

It's due out this fall and follows the comedic foibles of Vicki Hollub.

It didn't test well, but, we (the BOD) are very excited about it and think you're going to love it.

In the pilot episode, Vicki gets a (surprise?) promotion. Drunk with power – and unable to contain her giddiness – she goes on a spending spree and buys Anadarko because, well . . . being a kind, considerate person with a conscience, she deserves it.

Unfortunately, Vicki also maxes out her credit card and has to beg the affable – yet, ruthless - “Uncle Warren” for a loan.

And the hijinx ensue from there.

I can't wait to see next week's episode and the predicament she gets herself into. And how she gets out of it.

Oh, that Vicki!

Boy do I hope the BOD ignores the poor (analyst) ratings and sticks with this show. It's got such potential. It just needs time to catch on - Vicki is such an underappreciated talent.

Maybe a special guest appearance by Dr. Ray Irani, as himself.

Or, perhaps, a dream sequence episode where Armand Hammer - the Ghost of Occidental Past – “admonishes” (i.e. smacks the s—t out of) Vicki and wakes her up.

One can hope, but I think it may be too late.

The investors love her? Why would that be? What value will the low carbon business create other than good press and lower emissions?

Definitely correct on the ego part.

Chazen tossed the keys to a very focused and financially sound company to Vicki. All she had to do was not f— it up.

But no. That wasn't good enough. SHE had to put HER mark on things and make a statement, all for the gratification of her massive ego.

After all, that's what nice caring people do, isn't it?

The company will always have control over the voted shares. That way they do buy back programs for stock.

CEO, not CFO.

Low IQ and a huge ego is a dangerous combination for a CFO. Add to that the pass she gets for being a female CEO (not fired for destroying $25 billion+ in shareholder value), and now she’s pretending to be ‘woke’ - what a world!

She is a very nice caring person on a personal level.

You can tell the HR posts. VH is an id–t plain and simple, she's been that way all her years at Oxy,
and most everyone knows this. She just kissed Chazen's a– to get to be the CEO. Not the brightest light and definitely not someone that cares. I wouldn't want to be her standing outside the pearly gates...ding ...down elevator.

Hey @1ngl+1a7KbZDt

"She made the merger happen" - and that's the problem.

Having a conscience and "caring about employees" doesn't give you a license to be an id–t when it comes to business decisions.

"Oxy will be better than ever in a year or two." Really?

Oxy's going to have as strong a balance sheet as prior to the merger?

The dividend is going from 4 cents back to $3.16 ?

In a year or two?

You must be Vicki Hollub to think - let alone say - that.

This deal knee-capped shareholders and ruined the financial security/plans of retired/ex/current employees.

That's a hell of a conscience you got there Vicki.

Good for you on the stock purchase at 10 dollars a share. Next time it goes this low I will take advantage of this.

I put $100,000 in OXY stock when it was at $10.00 share. You do the math on my rate of return over the past 5 months. Out!

I think she should go as well. This Diversity and Inclusion is just another virtue signaling act under her. Kind of like a politician floating an idea and then doing something else behind our backs. Still waiting on the email about the Boulder shootings and how we need to back the city and our co-workers. Guess that will never come, and we actually had co-workers near the area if not some living their.

You cannot go under the assumption of buying at 10 dollars a share. Anyone could have done this. The real issue is the current stock that many have have a high cost basis compared to where the stock is at now. The stock will never get back to where it was 14 months ago. And you should lock into the losses if the dividend is not brought back soon and there is no growth appreciation in stock price. There are better places for your money.

LOL, who lost money? Did you sell and lock in losses? You should have bought when the stock was $10. You would have tripled your money like the rest of us. Dividend isn’t coming back until more debt has been reduced. Give it time.

She made the merger happen. She’s lead the company with a conscience and with caring for the employees during a difficult time. Now she’s paying off debt, realizing the synergies of the merger, and positioning Oxy as a leader in carbon neutrality. Let’s give her more time. Oxy will be better than ever in another year or two.

I think it was tried last year by some individuals. The institutional investors love her.
