This past year has certainly taught me some hard lessons in investing in O&G. Much of that has had to do with fed/Cb policy and other macro impacts I didn't full understand or respect. Fortunate enough to be young in my investing career learning these lesson through my trading and reading as much as I can about others experiences. Your musings have been invaluable in that learning. Thanks for another great post!
This is a truly great post. Oil sounds so easy with all the talk of declining drilling, ESG impacts, etc, but it is incredibly tough to figure out what data matters. I have realized I have no informational or analytical edge when it comes to oil.
Great piece! I remember Breitburn. Lost a bundle on that one! ;)
Great reminder that some equities/sectors are investment tuna and some are trading tuna. The energy sector is definitely trading tuna - especially at the commonn equity level.
I plan to re read in a week to make sure I fully assimilate these lessons.
I have to admit that I’ve found myself wanting the O&G space to be more simplistic than it actually is. Either out ignorance or mental laziness. Or both!
Accordingly, I expect the CNY to continue to devalue, which will send a deflationary pulse for all goods — especially Procyclical Commodities like Oil that are USD-denominated.
I would rather expect that due to CNY devaluation oil prices in China to go up.
