ConocoPhillips, Occidental and National Fuel Gas could weather oil and gas headwinds through low costs and integrated operations.

Goldman Sachs builds its Conviction List by identifying stocks where analysts hold their highest confidence in outperformance, and this month's screen turned up five dividend payers with yields that income investors rarely find attached to names this established.

By starting a new venture directly controlled by the US, his administration is seeking to give producers more confidence to commit to developing the 17 oil fields involved in the deal.
