My current positions in my play account (not tax deferred): 20% oil, 80% sgov.
My case for oil.
1. Investment in oil production globally is down 2/3rds from 10 years ago. We are transitioning to green energy which is great but not much incentive to invest in oil knowing it's slowly being replaced.
-
Russia might be cutting. Whether its intentional or it's because they don't have the western parts they need is irrelevant to me.
-
Saudi Arabia might be cutting. They don't like oil under $70, and they are trying to build that big dumb city Neom.
-
The strategic petroleum reserve is being refilled at $70 or lower. It's at a decade low.
-
We are currently around $75 or $80, not much down side if you think $70 is the floor.
-
PEs already low. PE compression hurts high PE stocks way more than low PE stocks.
Con: if economy blows up then oil goes to $40. But I still see full employment and oil demand pretty close to all time highs.
