I'm Convinced Energy Is The Most Misunderstood Investment Opportunity Of The Decade
I focus on big, long-term trends and dedicate energy to sectors with tremendous value, even if they're temporarily out of favor. Earlier this year, defense contractors were extremely undervalued, but patient investors have since been rewarded as the market recognized their strengths. My investment style emphasizes patience and thesis-driven investing, which isn't for everyone. Index fund investors should stick to consistency and diversification.

Viper Energy Expects Continued Production Growth After Sitio Acquisition
Viper completed its Sitio acquisition and expects mid-single-digit production growth in 2026 from current levels. This could put Viper's 2026 production around 132,000 BOEPD, including 68,000 barrels per day of oil production. At current 2026 strip prices, Viper should be able to generate close to $4 per share in distributable cash flow.

Energy stocks are deeply hated and out of favor, with prices low and investors fleeing, creating rare opportunities for savvy, patient buyers. The sector's challenges are cyclical and tied to economic growth indicators. When the cycle turns, energy's upside could be powerful and long-lasting. I focus on capital-light, resilient companies that thrive despite volatility, aiming to collect steady dividends while waiting for the cycle to flip.
