COMMENT

Believes reason for oil price sell-off is difficult to explain. Large difference between financial & physical markets for oil. Overall, oil demand is growing (highest ever), but paper demand for oil has reached all time low. As a result, large discrepancies in the market for oil are developing. US shale not growing - which will also help further strength in oil markets. $65 oil remains lowest price for no growth in markets. Is optimistic on overall outlook of energy markets. Bearish outlook for oil markets not justified. Expecting a ~$80 WTI prices going forward.

TOP PICK
MEG Energy Corp

Believes company is reaching final debt target in ~October 2024. Will pivot to 100% return of capital. Trading at 11% free cash flow yield at $70. Expecting a $40 share price at $80 oil. Large amount of reserves that will allow company to continue excellent capital allocation strategy. Continued share buybacks are very good for investors. Market currently ignoring hidden value in company.

DON'T BUY
Gear Energy

Company share price is reflective of lack in interest in small energy names (market cap too small). Company needs to sell itself in order to generate value. Better options for investors out there.
