Ya when I was weighing my oil choices I narrowed it down to CVX and XOM. Ran with the higher dividend. I feel they are large enough to sustain plus they have diversity as well. As of late XOM would have been the better option though. I believe both companies be OK through the oil mess.
Ya WLL just did a secondary offering about a month ago. They wanted to raise more capital for something, can't remember what it they wanted to spend on at the moment. It's a riskier Oil play that I have so far refrained from playing...

Fund Managers Dump Government Bonds, Rout Continues
Investors have had to quickly get used to the recent spurt of market volatility and, with few assets offering safe haven from the rout, investors are eyeing the vulnerable bond sector for direction.
The Pimco Total Return Fund, one of the world’s largest bond funds, slashed its holdings in U.S. government debt last month, according to data published on Tuesday.

Twitter isn't only Bay Area tech IPO under water — over half since 2013 are
More than half of all tech companies from the Bay Area that went public since January 2013 closed trading on Tuesday below their IPO price. That remains true despite the strongest market gains in four years on Wednesday, with only one IPO company from 2014 shifting back above its IPO price — San Jose-based wireless charging company Energous.
"Returns are the fuel that drive the IPO market and the returns in the tech IPO market have been generally bad," Smith said, but added that the pain hasn't been just in tech. About 53 percent of all IPOs so far this year are at or below their initial price. Half of last year's are underwater and 48 percent from 2013 are in similar shape.
"We are seeing the beginning of a liquidity crisis," Smith said. "If you are running a business that is losing money and needs investments to survive, you are coming up to hard times."
Four out of the five Bay Area tech companies that went public this year finished Tuesday below their IPO price. They are Ooma (down 30 percent), Apigee (down 65 percent), Box (down 7 percent) and Xactly (down less than 1 percent).
Wearables business FitBit is the lone exception in this year's local tech IPOs, up 87 percent, but at one point it was up by 160 percent.
Twitter, one of the region's hottest IPOs in 2013, dropped below its $26 offering price last week and closed Tuesday (08/25) at $25.17. That about 3 percent below its IPO price and less than half of its 52-week high of $55.99.

Emerging Markets: A nation's economy that is progressing toward becoming advanced, as shown by some liquidity in local debt and equity markets and the existence of some form of market exchange and regulatory body.
Emerging markets generally do not have the level of market efficiency and strict standards in accounting and securities regulation to be on par with advanced economies (such as the United States, Europe and Japan), but emerging markets will typically have a physical financial infrastructure including banks, a stock exchange and a unified currency.

I ironically pulled out of my EM funds this morning before finding the graph above
(smarter people obviously pulled out of them even earlier)

Central Bank of the Russian Federation announced its official August 2015 reserve assets and other foreign currency assets report indicating that its gold reserves had increased 1,000,000 ounces from its July 2015 report to 42.4 million ounces.
In July Russia added 400,000 ounces of gold to its reserves and $9.7 billion of U.S. Treasuries.
Chinese all-cash buyers of U.S. homes have tripled since 2005
Mandarin-speaking Chinese are buying mostly high-end homes with a median price of over $500,000
“Cash buyers across the board are playing a much bigger role in the housing market now than they were 10 years ago, and that is particularly true for Chinese Mandarin-speaking cash buyers, who are more likely to be foreign nationals,” said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. “Foreign cash buyers have helped to accelerate U.S. home price appreciation over the past few years given that these buyers are often not as constrained by income as local, traditionally financed buyers,” he said.
Indeed, median home values in the U.S. have risen to $180,800, the highest level since mid-2008, and up 3.3% in the past year, and they’re projected to rise another 2.2% in 2016.
