Top 10 Gold Stocks To Buy For 2019

&a;nbsp;

It&a;rsquo;s not what it was and, sometimes, not what we envision it to be. Not too long ago, it was common to work for a company for 40 years and retire at 65 with a gold watch, a pension, Social Security, and little to no debt, leaving retirees able to enjoy their &a;ldquo;golden years.&a;rdquo;

Today, it&a;rsquo;s not that simple.

Many boomers will have no pension, questionable Social Security benefits, and a hefty mortgage, along with other debt, well into retirement. The one thing we do contribute to more than our parents did is the company retirement savings program: commonly, a 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan.

As we contemplate retirement, we are faced with the most important decision of our lives: How do we turn our retirement savings into a guaranteed lifetime income stream? How can I make sure I will never run out of money?

Top 10 Gold Stocks To Buy For 2019: Marathon Oil Corporation(MRO)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  That ability to organically discover new shale plays has saved it a ton of money. The company was able to quietly gobble up 50,000 acres in Oklahoma over a four-year period for just $750 an acre. Contrast that with rivals�Devon Energy�(NYSE:DVN) and�Marathon Oil�(NYSE:MRO). Devon spent $1.9 billion to buy Felix Energy in late 2015 for the company's 80,000 acres in Oklahoma, paying a whopping $23,750 an acre. Meanwhile, Marathon paid $888 million for PayRock Energy and its 61,000 acres in the state, which amounted to roughly $14,500 an acre. EOG's�deep�knowledge of shale helps it know where to look so it can lock up land for next to nothing before rivals even know what's there.

  Presto, West Texas Intermediate crude rose 3% to $71.18, the highest since December 2014, boosting shares of oil companies including Occidental (OXY) , which gained 4.8%, Marathon (MRO) , up 3.8%, and Apache (APA) , which gained 2.5%. Spot gasoline also rose 2.7% to $2.17 a gallon, boding ill for the summer driving season in the U.S. and potentially eroding any gains middle-class Americans received from the Trump tax cuts.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  That efficiency was evident in the first quarter when companies like Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) and Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) drilled record-breaking wells. In Devon Energy's case, it completed two of the highest-rate wells ever drilled in the nearly 100-year history of the Delaware Basin. Those wells, when combined with some prolific ones in the STACK shale play, enabled Devon to produce a huge profit in the first quarter. Marathon Oil, meanwhile, drilled record-setting wells in two formations of the Bakken region as well as several high-rate ones in the STACK, which fueled strong profits for the driller in the first quarter.�
