10 Revved-Up Oil Companies to Buy

Oil prices have rebounded about $10, or nearly 15%, from recent lows to once
again approach $90 a barrel. There has been a lot of volatility in the crude oil
and energy sectors in recent weeks, but it appears the winners are now
separating themselves from the losers. I watch more than 5,000 publicly traded
companies with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of
fundamental and quantitative measures. This week, I have 10 oil, gas and
consumable fuel companies to buy. Here they are, in alphabetical order. Each one
of these stocks gets an "A" or "B" according to my research, meaning it
is a "strong buy" or "buy." Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE: COG ) works in the
U.S. and develops, exploits and explores oil and gas across the country. COG has
been the biggest winner on this list, gaining 78% since the beginning of
January. Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) provides administrative, financial, management and
technology support to its clients internationally. CVX has gained 8% year to
date, compared to a loss of more than 1% for the Dow Jones. El Paso (NYSE: EP )
is a natural gas company that deals with transmission, exploration and
production sectors. EP is one of the biggest winners on this list, with a 39%
return since the beginning of the year.
