"Energy shares lead Wall St lower in broad decline" (XLE; ERY)

You may remember us from our previous hit posts such as October 21's "Oil Sell-off, the Goldman View (XLE; ERY)":
We are seeing a lot of recommendations to buy hydrocarbon companies and want to note:

WTI $76.45 down 2.96% on the day.

U.S. crude oil fell 2.7 percent to $76.64 per barrel, dropping to its lowest level in about three years after Saudi Arabia cut sales prices to the United States. This is the fourth straight session that crude has fallen, losing 6.8 percent over that period. It is down more than 30 percent from a recent closing peak.
While the broader market has risen this year, energy has lagged. The S&P energy index fell 2.5 percent on Tuesday, and it is the only one of the ten primary sectors to be negative on the year.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF fell 2.7 percent on Tuesday to $83.74, while Chevron Corp fell 1.2 percent to $115.38....MORE
