It never really died; it just changed its tune. That's how I feel about oil stocks these days.  Sure, the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP) soared 132% between April 2021 and June 2022, but it's down 21% since then. With renewable energy sources like green hydrogen stealing the spotlight, you might wonder why I'm still hanging on to my bell-bottoms and oil stocks. Well, my friends, just like that group of college kids getting their second wind at midnight, oil stocks might be gearing up for a major rally. So, let me tell you why I still think oil deserves a spot on your investment dance floor. First up, we've got geopolitics playing a huge role in limiting supply. Just the other day, Bloomberg reported that oil production from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) took a dip in April, all thanks to an Iraqi pipeline suspension and a Nigerian labor strike. With output hitting its lowest point in nearly a year, geopolitical issues and sanctions against Russia continue to restrict supply. And let's not forget about weak economic data from China and banking-collapse fears. OPEC+ (which includes Russia) has even decided to cut output by around 1.16 million barrels a day starting this month. Limited supply usually means one thing: higher prices. In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that global crude oil demand will reach record levels by the end of the year. With no significant supply boost in sight from the U.S., we could be looking at a growing deficit in the oil market. Now, let's talk about earnings season. As the first quarter of 2023 wraps up, it seems like most oil companies are enjoying a nice little victory lap.  BP plc. (BP), Shell plc (SHEL), and TotalEnergies SE (TTE) have all reported earnings that far surpass expectations, rewarding investors with buybacks and investments. But the real question is whether these companies can keep the party going in an increasingly green world. Among them, is TotalEnergies appears to be a standout. With a three-year median payout ratio of 38%, TotalEnergies keeps a cool 62% of its profits to itself.  That means its dividend is comfortably tucked in, and the company seems to be putting that extra cash to good use, judging by its decent growth. Plus, TotalEnergies has been handing out dividends for at least a decade, so it's clear they're committed to sharing the wealth with their shareholders. I mean, who doesn't love a generous friend, right? The latest chatter from analyst circles says that the company is expected to keep dishing out around 38% of its profits for the next three years. That brings me to my final point: the pivot to green energy. In the race to achieve zero carbon emissions, oil and gas companies that don't embrace diversification will be left doing the hustle while everyone else moves on to the electric slide. I've mentioned TTE before in one of my elite trading research services as a company that's ready to boogie on both the oil and renewable energy dance floors. They're investing in traditional forms of energy, as well as wind, solar, and biofuel solutions. While oil stocks might not be the life of the party anymore, they're far from being wallflowers. They've got a second wind, and with the right mix of supply limitations, strong earnings, and a pivot to green energy, I believe they still have plenty of dance moves left in them. Make sure you save a spot for oil in your investment portfolio, and let's keep grooving towards a brighter and greener future.  Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: Every investors favorite Oracle of Omaha also love investing in oil.

Talk about an unexpected plot twist! So, fast forward to this weekend's annual gathering of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. There's no doubt Mr. Buffett is going to face some questions about his drastic about-face. I mean, wouldn't you want to know what made him change his mind and build a massive stake in two of the Permian Basin's biggest producers? And what does he think the future looks like for oil and the companies that drill for it, especially as the world looks to lessen its dependence on fossil fuels? But the real question is, can he explain what's different this time around? It's like a sequel we didn't see coming! You might remember that Mr. Buffett spent 2008 amassing a sizable stake in oil producer ConocoPhillips. But when the global recession hit, oil prices and ConocoPhillips's stock price crashed. Berkshire had its worst year since Mr. Buffett took over the company in the 60s. Ouch! In his own words, he said, “So far, I have been dead wrong.” Then, Berkshire tried again. They invested in Exxon Mobil several times over the following years, only to dump the entirety of its stake in 2014. It was like déjà vu when oil prices started one of their worst pullbacks in modern history. After that, Mr. Buffett said at Berkshire's 2015 shareholder meeting, “We will not be buying, very often, oil and gas stocks.” Well, that turned out to be short-lived! Enter Occidental Petroleum.  (article continues below) Sponsored [The Electricity Revolution Is Here — Don't Be Left Behind!]( A largely unknown energy resource is about to be unlocked on a global scale, thanks to a tiny Silicon Valley firm. With the help of AI, this company has discovered how to exploit an incredible trillion-dollar source of power that could make all other forms — from gas and coal through oil, to wind, hydropower and solar fusion — look small in comparison! Just one year's worth alone would generate 5X as much fuel than Earth’s largest existing oil field — making its potential hard to ignore. [Watch the full presentation here.]( [Privacy Policy/Disclosures]( SPONSORED  🔼 Pay attention, this is worth your time! ☝  (article continues)  This company caught Mr. Buffett's eye like a shiny new toy. Their Chief Executive Vicki Hollub was just minding her own business, driving her Jeep Wrangler to a college baseball game in March 2022, when her phone rang. And guess who was on the other end? That's right, it was Warren himself, announcing, “We just bought 10% of your company.” And thus began Berkshire's big binge on oil stocks. Now, Berkshire has become both Occidental and Chevron's biggest shareholder. Energy shares made up about 14% of Berkshire's stock portfolio at the end of 2022, the highest share since at least 2000. Talk about a plot twist no one saw coming! As society's attitude toward fossil fuels has changed over the years, businesses have come under growing pressure to rein in their carbon emissions. Even Berkshire's shareholders, including the California Public Employees' Retirement System, have put forward a shareholder resolution demanding the company assess and disclose the risks it faces from climate change and the transition to clean energy. Maybe the most surprising aspect of Mr. Buffett's investment is that energy stocks have mostly been money-losing investments in recent years. It's like trying to ride a roller coaster that only goes down! So, why has Berkshire made such a big push into energy stocks? According to analysts and investors who have followed Mr. Buffett over the years, he seems to firmly believe that, even with companies setting ambitious goals to reduce their carbon emissions, the world will still continue to need oil. Lots of oil. And that should make it a commodity that companies like Occidental and Chevron can profit from selling for years to come. In conclusion, it seems like Mr. Buffett still appreciates old-economy businesses and isn't afraid to go against the grain. While we all eagerly await the future of renewable energy, it's important to remember that the transition to cleaner sources of energy won't happen overnight. Mr. Buffett likely sees value in these oil companies during this transitional period, and his investment decisions reflect that belief. As a seasoned investor, he has proven time and time again that he is not afraid to take risks and make bold moves. Despite the losses he faced in previous oil investments, his continued interest in the energy sector seems to be driven by his long-term vision and understanding of the market dynamics. At this weekend's annual gathering of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Mr. Buffett will undoubtedly face questions about his change of heart and his vision for the future of oil and energy companies. It will be interesting to see how he justifies these investments and navigates the complex landscape of a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As investors and spectators alike listen to Mr. Buffett's insights, they will be keen to understand his perspective on the future of oil and what it means for the broader market. After all, Warren Buffett has a knack for finding value in unexpected places, and his latest foray into the energy sector is yet another testament to his unique investment approach.  Disclaimer:  The material in this document is for informational purposes based on our proprietary research.
