As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
The price of oil always gets pulled around. He likes the natural gas side a bit more -- it's been through a bear market for years and now coming out of that. Over time, increased ability to get nat gas offshore and the world needs it.
But if you go 100% natural gas it's more risky. So, be more diversified but with a tilt to gas. He likes names that are cheaper than they ought to be. For him that's ARX or, for more torque, AAV.

Gas vs oil? As there is less oil production, associated natural gas production is falling. He owns BIR and was buying yesterday. AAV has performed well relative to other gas producers. He took profits on AAV recently and moved it into oil producers. BIR is trading at 2 times EV, but cuts its dividend by 81% recently. BIR is more cavalier on its spending, but feels it has more upside.
One of the very low cost gas producers. Gas is very swingy, and is down a fair bit today, and the stock is down which is a really good opportunity. Trading at 8X Cash Flow and has a really good balance sheet with less than 1X debt to cash flow. Under $9 is a great entry point. (Analysts’ price target is $11.86.)
