[Energy and Capital logo] Oil’s Biggest Weakness Is Your Biggest Opportunity [Keith Kohl Photo] By [Keith Kohl]( Written Sep. 11, 2019 Few times have I come across an investment that you can call a “no-brainer.” You know the ones I mean. They’re the positions in your portfolio that are as close to a win-win situation as you can get in the market. These investments not only thrive during the best of times, but they’ll also perform and make you a tidy profit during the worst. Today, with investors and pundits alike fretting about recession fears, a no-brainer is harder to find than you might think. Don’t get me wrong; they’re out there. In fact, there are a number of them staring us in the eye as you read this. There’s no denying that the Achilles’ heel of the U.S. energy sector is its infrastructure. It has been for a long, long time. And it may just be the biggest investment opportunity out there right now. For Your Eyes Only For decades, scientists have been trying to find better, cleaner, more efficient sources of energy. And although we’ve had alternatives to fossil fuel for a while (things like solar power or wind power), none of them have ever been able to hold up to our energy needs. But a top-secret military research lab has just made an incredible breakthrough... A new CLEAN energy source so powerful that it’s going to fuel a new generation of stealth vehicles for the military, the 2020 Olympics, and one of Google’s data centers. A viable renewable energy is finally here, and I’ve figured out a way you can ride this wave for over 1,500% profits. [Click here]( to see this incredible fuel in action. The Achilles’ Heel of the U.S. Energy Sector Everything has a weakness. Producing a lot of oil ISN’T ours. Last week, the EIA reported that U.S. crude oil production for the prior week averaged 12.4 million barrels per day. That’s 1.4 million barrels per day more than it was a year ago. To put a little more perspective on that, consider that U.S. oil output in 2008 averaged just 5 million barrels per day. So our production growth from last year alone would’ve accounted for more than one-quarter of our total output back then! In August, just five oil-producing regions in the United States accounted for nearly 70% of U.S. oil production — extracting crude at a rate of more than 8.4 million barrels per day! The Permian Basin alone makes up more than half of that production, too. Now, don’t get me wrong; there are plenty of things to be concerned about when it comes to our tight oil production. Fortunately for you and I, one of the biggest issues is something most investors take for granted. And it’s something you should be taking full advantage of right now, while you still can. Have you guessed it yet? It’s not the steep decline rates or the fact that E&P companies need to drill at a furious pace to continue these growth trends. No, the problem lately has been GETTING that flood of oil to market. Turn every $2 into $2,500 I just got off a conference call with the management of a little-known $150 million West Texas oil explorer. On the call, they revealed the discovery of $185 billion worth of oil under their land. This means for every one of this company’s $2 shares you buy, you’re buying $2,500 worth of oil. This is a recipe for massive windfall profits. [Here’s my full write-up and recommendation.]( The Easiest Investment I’ve Ever Made If you haven’t caught on yet, the problem right now revolves around the 2.6 million miles of oil and natural gas pipelines crisscrossing the Lower 48. What’s the problem, you wonder? Well, it turns out that our pipeline infrastructure is horribly outdated. Just think... Over half of our pipelines were built in the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, roughly 10% of the pipelines that transport our crude oil and natural gas today were laid down over 70 years ago! I’m certainly not the first person to recognize this potential crisis, mind you. The American Society of Civil Engineers has been wildly waving this red flag for years and even gave our energy infrastructure a D+ grade in its latest infrastructure report card. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the fact that U.S. petroleum consumption is at near-record levels. More importantly, finding the right infrastructure play not only means decades of dividend payments, but they are among the strongest positions to own during a recession. Need proof? Consider that while everyone lost their shirts during the crash of 2008, Enbridge — one of the biggest pipeline players in North America — shed less than 20% of its value. Yet it was also one of the quickest to recover. And throughout it all, Enbridge actually boosted its dividend, which has grown over the last 20 years at a CAGR of 11.96%. Like I said, it’s one of the few win-win investments you can make today.

You can buy a bathing suit, a new book, and even food from Amazon. You need a personal sauna for your backyard? Amazon’s got you covered. Amazon has become a one-stop shop... You can pretty much get everything you need or want, and you get it delivered quickly. For years, it's had the entire online shopping industry in a chokehold. And the U.S. government doesn’t like it. See, according to a little-known section of U.S. law, Amazon is now going to be forced to put over $1.498 billion straight into the pockets of everyday Americans like you... Just to make sure it can’t get away with being too anti-competitive. But get this: Whether the market is up or down — even if Amazon’s stock drops by 50% overnight — it is still legally obligated to make the entire payout. And best of all, Amazon isn’t the only company required to pay you these reparations. [Here’s the catch: You have until tomorrow to get on the distribution list.]( Enjoy reading this article?
