Over on CAPS, fully 3,996 of the 4,122 members who have rated Conoco -- some 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include blkwhtcorp and TMFmrquakeroats.

Just yesterday, blkwhtcorp noted that Conoco "is currently trading below its book value of $60 per share. Oil will continue to be the popular energy source for the near future. Excellent balance sheet. Classic Graham no brainer pick."

In an earlier pitch from last week, TMFmrquakeroats agrees, citing the Oracle's steadily increasing stake in Conoco as reason to remain confident:

High quality, major oil and gas company. Buffett has invested over $6 billion in COP recently and the stock is currently selling for a margin of safety below his cost basis.

I also like the fact they are very diversified across the globe and have been buying back shares at very low PE multiples and pay a nice dividend.
