PAST TOP PICK
(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.
WEAK BUY
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.
HOLD
You must own at least one oil stock. He's taken some profits, but won't sell anymore.
BUY

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.

BUY

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.

BUY

They did a golden cross (50-day moving average above the 200). One of the best names in this space.

BUY

Strong free cash flow, credit profile and disciplined spending. Chinese demand will rise. Among the best names in energy.

DON'T BUY

Likes energy space. 
Better options for investors.
Would prefer integrated energy names (refining capability).

BUY

Has owned this for a year, still trades reasonably, high free cash flow and low debt. One of the largest, lowest-cost producers.

DON'T BUY

Has never owned. The only oil stock he owns right now is CNQ.
