He owns the OIH-N instead, but is probably very similar. Feels the US has more upside. The NETBACKS are much stronger and the regulatory environment is better. These are hugely undervalued. Some are trading at around 30%-40% of replacement value, which is the industry low. The oil sector has looked cheap for a while, and he has been adding to his holdings for the last couple of months. He likes the story and likes being in the drillers right now.
This one does not include the big guys like Exxon Mobil etc. These are companies that are drilling for oil in the US. They have been very busy lately in the Dakota area and are finding more oil. The sector is lining up very nicely.
The key is that it is going to respond to whatever happens to Crude Oil, third week in July until first week in October is strength but crude oil price broke out today. This could be becoming a seasonal trade earlier this year than expected.
Energy is her top pick for 2022. She owns big positions in both ETFs (XLE and XOP). She sees more upside for energy in 2022. In recent years, energy names have been left for dead, pressured by ESG and global government regulations; energy has badly lagged gains in the Nasdaq in the last 10 years. If we get past Covid, there's a good chance that 12 months from, oil demand will outstrip supply. Lots of runway in energy to come.
A good covered call strategy would be to sell the June 134s, which will give 9% upside, and collect $8 which is over 6% of premium income all for a little over three months' holding period.
