EOG Update -- Michael Fitzsimmons -- August 19, 2020

 EOG update: Michael Fitzsimmons at SeekingAlpha. Archived here. Summary:

• like virtually every O&G producer, EOG Resources had a tough Q2 and for the first time I can remember posted a big negative EPS number
• nonetheless, the company's fundamental operations and financial performance were impressive
• the company actually generated ~$194 million in FCF despite shut-in production and a $20/bbl realized price for oil
• in view of expectations for a dramatic comeback in Q3 and Q4, EOG is undervalued and could easily rise to $60/share for a 30% return

Tires: For The Record

I don't buy Goodyear tires, never have, never will. 

Firestone emerged as an affordable tire brand with average performance options and average tread-mile warranties. ... By comparison, Goodyear averages $108 per tire for the same size, though it has a much great variety of performance options to choose from. -- reviews; July 9, 2018
