As 2015 rapidly heads towards the exits, the financial news has shifted towards the plunging price of oil. The somewhat surprisingly collapse of oil prices has given investors something to focus on

besides the Fed and interest rates.

Is cheap oil a good thing or a bad thing? It’s actually a bit of both, but that’s not our focus this time around. With oil the cheapest it’s been since the financial

crisis of 2008, it definitely makes sense to take a closer look at black gold.

The chart of crude oil shows how black gold has done this year. Prior to the

summer, it actually hit $60 per barrel for a couple months. However, the price has since plunged, and is now trading well

below the 50-day moving average.

What’s more, the price of oil has taken a sharp turn below the $40 mark. That level seems to hold some significance among oil traders/investors as a sign oil’s bear

market will continue.

Here’s the thing…Penny stock oil companies tend to be in

the development stage. They’re generally focused on setting up operations to get

oil out of the ground. They are highly unlikely to be cash flow positive.

Now, throw in ultra-cheap oil prices and you can see why finding a good oil penny

stock is going to be extremely difficult. You see, more sophisticated methods of oil extraction (fracking, offshore drilling)

are expensive.

It already costs substantially more than the current price of oil (around $35 per

barrel) to produce. As such, I’d definitely avoid investing in those types of oil

drillers right now.

More traditional oil drillers (land-based, non-fracking) do exist, but they’re harder to find. Most of the low hanging fruit has already been gobbled up. And, if these companies do exist, they’ve probably

been purchased by bigger players.

So how can you make money buying oil penny stocks? Bottom line is, you have to be extra picky. Try to find a company

which is cash-flow positive and has lower expenses compared to others in

the industry.

The stock should only be down because of the price of oil and nothing that has to

do with operations. This is the type of company which will see a boost in its share price when the price of crude oil

recovers.
