Just last week, one of those Fools, NickFlooding, touched on a couple of Energy XXI's seemingly potent partnerships:
Very solid existing reserves. Near and long term increasing production via the drill bit in existing fields and new field exploration with [ExxonMobil (NYS: XOM) ] in Vermillion. ... The downside of a failure of [McMoRan Exploration's (NYS: MMR) ] UltraDeep is not all that large while the up side would be a nice plus. Whats not to like?
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a perfect five-star rating, Energy XXI may not be your top choice.
