Dear Investor, For 2021, the energy sector was the top-performing of the eleven S&P-designated sectors, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) posted a 52% return for the year. Energy midstream – the pipeline, terminals, and storage subsector – was up a similar 45%. For 2021, the energy sector rode the wave of crude […]
Dear Investor, Every December, I publish my conservative stock pick for the new year, as well as a more aggressive stock pick. Today, I’m sharing my conservative stock, ONEOK, Inc. (OKE). I see ONEOK as the highest quality company and stock in the energy midstream sector. ONEOK is an energy infrastructure company strictly focused on […]
We’ve seen a pullback in utilities, natural gas, coal and others. I see there’s a play here for you. Let me show you in my weekly free video. There’s ONE ticker I’m looking at in the coal sector which could make a move. Coal is an ancient way to produce energy… but the supply crunches […]

The natural gas ETF was down 6.5% one day last week, but has gained over 100% for the year due to global supply shortages.

A forecast La Niña weather pattern, plus lack of energy security, could leave Europeans and Brits either sitting in the cold and dark or force the companies into a bidding war for U.S. sourced natural gas. My sources in […]

And it was not just one or two dividend stocks. There are a few dozen dividend stocks on the Dividend Hunter […]
The Biden administration recently indicated they want 50% of all vehicle sales by 2030 to be zero-emission—i.e., electric cars. While I am skeptical that Americans will be willing to buy that many electric vehicles, my thoughts today concern what companies will profit from the electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet. And it’s worth noting that […]
Most investors tend to think about solar, wind, and hydrogen fuel when it comes to green energy investing. It tends to come as a surprise that nuclear energy is also green. This is because nuclear power essentially produces zero emissions. And in the era of serious concerns over climate change, “zero emissions” is a huge […]
After a year that featured tech stocks as the big winner, many investors (and television talking heads) have expressed shock that the energy sector leads the way so far in 2021.
