21 Stock Ideas To Benefit From Weak Oil Prices

The oil price is in free fall and lost half of its value within the recent month. I love it when something changes in such a short period because often it could be a good sign for investors to find new investment targets.

The oil and gas or energy sector is very complicated. There are working many companies in this field and some of them suffering deeply under low oil prices. 

The bad news is that many stocks from the sector did not fall in the same amount as oil prices. One of the main reasons could be that market actors anticipate a mid or long-term oil price forecast of USD 100. That's enough for most of the industry leaders to make money and solid returns.

Not only basic material dividend stocks like Exxon or Chevron are the top picks. 

Indirect, companies with an energy intensive business model like industrial stocks, retailers, auto or restaurant stocks could get a short-term boost.

However, Today I like to share some investment ideas around the energy sector, who are not cheap now but could become an interesting investment.
