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.

In Trump's market, oil and gas stocks have not been the big energy winners
The Trump administration has promoted an energy policy favorable to oil and gas, but the utilities sector within the S&P 500 has been the much stronger performer this year. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) has tripled the return generated by the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) this year.

XLE Still Primed For Breakout
XLE's long-term sideways pattern is likely a bullish consolidation, not a distribution top. This view is supported by sentiment indicators. Put/call ratio in XLE and high short interest in crude oil futures suggest investor pessimism, which historically precedes intermediate-term rallies in XLE. We expect XLE to break out to new highs, targeting $98–$120, offering 11–36% upside plus a 3.5% dividend yield.

Energy Sector Breaks; Gold Goes Sideways
While some sectors like tech and consumer discretionary are rallying sharply today, energy is going in the opposite direction with a decline of 1%. XLE recently made a triple top just below resistance from the Q1 highs, broke below the bottom of its uptrend channel, and now it's back below its 50-day moving average.
