Europe had already been suffering from low supplies of natural gas this winter, accompanied by higher costs as demand outpaced supply. But now, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia (which had until very recently supplied more than 40% of Europe’s gas imports) has triggered further price increases. With Russian gas out of the picture, European […]
Oil prices have spiked well above $100 per barrel and it’s causing the investment community to rethink alternative forms of energy. One of the beneficiaries of this renewed interest in alternatives is nuclear power. Uranium stocks have seen a big boost to their share prices in recent weeks. One way to capitalize from this situation […]
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has roiled the financial markets, but none more so than energy markets. The price of crude oil has skyrocketed. Natural gas prices are have also risen over 30% year-to-date. One way to trade oil and gas is by using the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration and Production ETF (XOP). […]

Even better: with oil prices showing no signs […]
Oil has been on a tear this year, both due to concerns over inflation and also as as a result of high demand/low supply dynamics. Owning oil stocks has generally been a winning trade in 2022, but what if the trend reverses? One smart way to hedge oil exposure is by purchasing puts on an […]
Dear Investor, Do not believe rumors that the price of crude oil has stopped climbing. Nearly unstoppable supply-and-demand forces point to continued gains for energy stocks – a trend that cannot be controlled by words from the Federal Reserve or other government authorities. So if your portfolio doesn’t have enough exposure to the energy sector, […]

Airline stocks haven’t moved much in a few months. They were mega-popular during the March 2020 drop as many cratered 50-70%. In 2021, they’ve traded a bit choppy.
