Is There a Top in Sight?

There is one letter I look forward to receiving every year.

This year, it arrived in the beginning of February…

You see, the same analyst mails me a letter once a year with unwavering bearish sentiment. What’s worse than his never-ending skepticism in the energy sector is his unquestionable faith in shorting these stocks.

It never ceases to amaze me how much he ends up losing…

When oil hit $30 per barrel in 2008, he proclaimed it was going to plummet further to $10/barrel.

We know how things turned out for him…

Oil’s back in triple-digit territory today — even in spite of the fact that it’s mid-winter, when prices are usually at their lowest.

This time is no different, and once again my pen pal is going to eat his words…

energy perspective

Considering 87% of total U.S. energy consumption comes from just three sources, things aren’t expected to drastically change over the next several decades. 

Making Bears Cry

When I took a second look at his letter, I understood why my reader was so cautious.

Looking at just one of the now-famous oil stocks with a prominent land position in North Dakota, the recent run-up was concerning for him…
