Bottom-line strategy: Despite the fact that Warren Buffett has been a large buyer of OXY, the charts have turned soft. I do not see a major top formation on OXY but a period of weakness is possible. I have no special knowledge of what OXY will tell shareholders after the close of trading Monday but traders should act accordingly.
