4 Big-Dividend Energy Stocks for Patient Investors

Private equity flowing into oil- and gas-related investments last year drove part of my enthusiasm for the energy sector, and so far all of those investments have bit us where it counts. In the past year, oil has fallen by more than 50%, and natural gas is down about 30% from what we all thought were already low levels. When two of the most successful private equity investors of all time tell us pretty much the same thing, it pays for us as individual investors to listen closely.

With that in mind, here are four energy stocks that should provide investors with both price-rebound and income potential in the coming months and years: Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), National-Oilwell Varco (NOV) and Helmerich & Payne (HP). I have no idea when oil prices will go higher. I am, however, pretty sure that if you adopt the private equity mindset and look out at least five to seven years, and understand that prices could go lower before they go higher, you should make an enormous amount of money from high-quality energy-related names.
