Investing in oil stocks in 2017

A strong equity performance has been the trend with oil stocks in the market most of the time, and investing in stocks of oil companies is considered a good bet these days. Indeed, analysts are of the opinion that 2017 is the year to invest in oil stocks, or if you already have been dabbling in oil stocks, to increase their share and quantum in your portfolio. This is, in part, thanks to OPEC’s decision to reduce the oil output by over 1 million barrels a day, as well as non-OPEC countries that produce oil pledging to reduce their oil output by half a million barrels.
