And if you look closely, youâll catch a few signals on this... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy Oil Prices Today Lead to Oil Profits Tomorrow Keith Kohl | May 30, 2024 Oil prices today will lead you to oil profits tomorrow. This is a rather special week for oil prices. Last time, we talked a little bit about the importance of [Memorial Day weekend]( when it comes to oil markets. For some in our investment community, the nice 3-day weekend is the highlight of our year and marks the beginning of a bullish cycle for oil prices. Of course, your joy during the summer months may depend on what type of investor you are. For the investment herd â those poor unfortunate souls that are always late to the party and move into stocks like cattle â itâs a time when they start to look for the hottest oil stocks to buy. For us, summer can be a time to harvest the oil profits that weâve been patiently cultivating for months, watching our portfolio bloom right alongside oil prices. And if you look closely, youâll catch a few signals on this bullish feeling in the oil sector. You just have to know where to look... All you have to do is beat Big Oil to the punch. 9 Billionaires Shifting Funds Here (Plus Warren Buffett) The smartest investors in the world are making a BIG move right now. David Tepper, Steve Cohen, Bill Gross, Paul Tudor Jones, Jeremy Grantham, George Soros, Carl Icahn, Jim Simons, and Larry Fink... They're jumping into oil and gas stocks with both feet. Meanwhile, 99% of investors canât see whatâs coming. According to Keith Kohl, our oil and gas analyst, three powerful economic triggers are converging on the oil markets right now... A "perfect storm" unlike anything weâve seen in 50 years. The last time this happened, a small group of oil companies made 20x returns in a few years. Some gains were as high as 3,000%! Thatâs exactly the type of oil company Keith is recommending today.  Heâs calling it "the No. 1 oil stock of the decade." [Get the name and ticker here before oil prices surge higher.]( The Great Oil Consolidation Continues Big Oil is getting hungry again. Last year, I told you that the [âGreat Oil Consolidationâ]( was coming in 2023. Not only did that come true, but it turned out to be one of the biggest years for M&A activity in a decade. Go ahead and take a look for yourself: [m&a activity 2023] If youâre wondering just how big it was, consider that oil and gas E&P companies spent $234 billion. Now, Iâll be the first to confess that a lot of this spending was on just a handful of deals. And Iâm sure youâve seen them hit media headlines as these deals start to close. After all, Exxon dished out $64.5 billion acquiring Pioneer Natural Resources, and Chevronâs buyout of Hess came with a price tag of $60 billion. Even the Oracle from Omahaâs oil cash cow, Occidental Petroleum, announced it was shelling out $12 billion to buy Crownrock last December. Like I said, Big Oil couldnât get enough, and they were absolutely flush with cash after two incredibly profitable years. So what on Earth would make you think they would want to stop in 2024? [The King of American Lithium (Not Albemarle)]( Mining giant Albemarle owns the only active lithium mine in America. But a tiny lithium company is about to change that. Itâs set to build Americaâs first large-scale lithium production facility, positioning itself to become one of the globe's leading mining giants. [Go here now for the full story.]( Beating Big Oil at Its Own Game One thing for sure is that we didnât have to wait long for the M&A activity to start pumping out deals this year. A few days after the ball dropped in Times Square, Apache Corp. made a $4.5 billion move to acquire Callon Petroleum. That name should ring a bell for my veteran readers. It was one of the three ways we were looking to strike [Texas oil profits]( (on an interesting note, Pioneer Natural Resources was at the top of that list back then). Soon after, Chesapeake Energy went after Southwestern Energy in an all-stock deal worth $7.4 billion. Then within a month of that, we saw Diamondback Energy make a play for Endeavor Resources for $26 billion. The great oil consolidation had not only begun, it was gaining momentum! Driven by the deal for Endeavor, M&A activity in the global oil and gas industry reached more than $64 billion by April, 2024, with $54 billion of that taking place in North America. And if you follow the money trail, all roads lead to one place: The Permian Basin. But thatâs not really surprising to you, is it? Weâve been touting the value of the Permian Basin for years, and today the region is responsible for nearly 6.2 million barrels of oil production every single day â almost half of the entire daily output of the United States! However, the hard part isnât knowing that Big Oil is going to get greedy and scoop up the best E&P players in the Permian. Remember, thatâs how companies like Exxon have to grow â by unloading its massive war chest rather than through the drill bit. In other words, Big Oilâs oil option is to open up its coffers and swallow up the best assets it can get its hands on. And sometimes â just sometimes â you come across a hidden gem in deploying a new drilling technique that is not only more efficient at getting oil out of the ground, but is also just sitting there waiting to be plucked up... for the right price. Thatâs a deal too good to be true for Big Oil. [You gotta check this one out for yourself.]( Until next time, [Keith Kohl Signature] Keith Kohl [[follow basic]Check us out on YouTube!]( [EAC ICYMI Header]( The 5-Minute BitcoinInvestment Secret(Get Started Now With Just $25) The SEC recently approved eleven Bitcoin ETFs...
