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.
He doesn’t own a single Canadian oil/gas producer. As a country, we send 99% of our oil and gas volumes to the US. At the same time, Canada is growing production in excess of pipeline capacity, so because of that, both oil and gas are selling at a discount. Capital has left our market and is not coming back anytime soon. There are better names than this in the US.
