NEW YORK ���Martin Shkreli is on trial for financial fraud charges that could land him in prison for years, but that hasn't stopped the so-called "Pharmacy Bro" from providing investment advice for thousands of fans.

During recent Sunday evenings, Shkreli has used Facebook and YouTube to live-stream "This Week in Investing and Finance," a�tutorial that features�his views on stocks to buy, sell, or short, plus health care industry news, and a quick look at the economy.

Before and afterward, viewers who tune in for�the live-streams also get a healthy�dose of the pharmaceutical industry entrepreneur's views on the criminal case Brooklyn federal prosecutors have built against him.

Unsurprising spoiler alert: Shkreli says he's winning.

"I met with my lawyers today, and they say I am innocent and will be proven innocent. The case is going very well," said Shkreli during a�July 2 live-stream that had drawn more than 4,800�views on YouTube through the ensuing five days.

  IEZ is also a top-heavy fund. Just two stocks — Schlumberger NV (NYSE: SLB) and Halliburton Inc. (NYSE: HAL) — combine for almost 26 percent of the fund's weight. Underscoring the correlation to oil prices, IEZ has a three-year standard deviation of 30 percent, indicating this ETF is far more volatile than standard diversified energy funds.

  With the mixed signals coming out of OPEC, oil prices could be quite volatile until the organization makes it clear what it intends to do. That could have an effect on financially weaker oil companies that desperately need higher oil prices to provide them with extra cash to firm up their financial foundations. Stronger producers, on the other hand, should continue to do well no matter what OPEC decides since they built their businesses to thrive at much lower oil prices. Three that stand out are ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), and EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG).

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has worked hard to differentiate itself from other oil companies by focusing on creating value for investors as opposed to growing at all costs. That plan continued paying dividends during the first quarter, as the company blew past expectations. That strong showing sets the U.S. oil giant up for an exceptional year.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  According to a recent report by Reuters, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has held talks with investment banks about helping the company unload its stake in Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE). That sale could net the oil giant more than $2 billion in cash, which would bolster its already sizable cash war chest and give it more money to allocate in creating value for investors.
