Many expect that hydrogen can and will be a carbon-free substitute for natural gas. My research shows that existing manufacturers and energy midstream companies could handle much of the transition. These facts heighten the long-term investment potential of the companies that will produce and deliver hydrogen to utility companies. Let’s talk about what “green hydrogen” […]
Fortunes are going to be made in the oil and gas business over the next decade. The uncomfortable truth that we cannot convert to 100% renewable energy on the timetable currently being touted is beginning to sink in for those who are blessed with a modicum of common sense. Politicians and activists will take longer. […]
There is a business sector in which the number of publicly traded companies has shrunk by two-thirds over the past decade. This sector provides absolutely essential services to keep the economy running. Its consolidation offers investors the potential for long-term, attractive total returns… From the 1990s through the mid-2010s, energy midstream rewarded investors with excellent […]
U.S. natural gas pipeline giant ONEOK (OKE) is set to buy Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP), which owns a pipeline network that primarily transports crude oil and refined products for $18.8 billion.

In short, I like companies that make a lot of money. If you’re like me, consider refining stocks. Let me show you one […]
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I am not a huge fan of the broader market at these levels. While the recent banking turmoil has raised the possibility that the Federal Reserve would cut rates soon, I think we have a better chance of the Cincinnati Reds winning the World […]
Oil is going to $50. Or it’s going to fall all the way down to $20. Or is it? If you follow oil prices at all, the last few weeks would have you believe that the world is awash in oil all over the world, demand was declining, and renewable energy was cheap and easy […]
The semi-meltdown of the banking sector last week has investors, particularly income-focused ones, re-evaluating their holdings. To add stable income to your portfolio, take a look at energy infrastructure stocks. Right now you can get some of my favorites at some very attractive yields. Here they are… The wipeout of Silicon Valley Bank spread contagion […]
Recently, I dug into recent financial results of several downstream crude oil refiners. I am a fan of the energy subsector, but I was surprised at how well these companies can and will perform in the current energy price environment. So surprised that I was happy to add a new refiner stock to my dividend […]
