PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 19/13. Up 18.39%.) Still likes. As energy stocks sold off coming into the new year, they were pressured like everybody else. Earnings were somewhat mixed. Valuations are still reasonable, especially since the stock has pulled back.
(A Top Pick Jun 24/21, Up 55%) He's adding to this. Energy remains attractive as oil prices remain firm. The current pullback in oil prices opens an opportunities. Pays a 2% dividend. 10% free cash flow. Will buyback shares and pays dividends.
A good proxy for the energy sector. Can't comment on short-term trading, because it all depends on where crude oil and nat gas prices go. It's a well-run company and pays an okay dividend, though not high.
Energy remains a favoured sector as oil and gas prices remain up from supply constraints. A large, diversified operator with lower production costs. Trades at 10x, a little expensive, but still high quality.
He remains overweight energy in this name and others. Oil is a great hedge to geopolitical risk, like a flare-up in Iran or the Russian war. Also, we're entering summer driving season. Also, oil will benefit from a rotation into the value trade. Oil companies are fundamentally sound.
