Owning energy stocks into a recession is usually a bad idea.

Here are 6 charts that changed my mind..

#COM #EFT #OOTT
The world isn't spending nearly enough on drilling for oil & gas. 70-80% of cashflow is typical.
We are at 35%, way too little to meet demand
Spending isn't increasing that quickly looking forward either, even with mountains of free-cashflow to reinvest.

The increase in US rigs has basically stalled in July showing producers are still worried about the economy and not in a hurry to ramp up production.
Drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) are way below normal. DUCs per active rig are 40% below normal.

Even if budgets explode, labor issues and a lack of DUCs mean we are 9-12 months from seeing the supply response. Shale isn't bailing out the world anytime soon.
Global oil & gas in storage has been falling all year and is very low across the globe.

Low tanks mean even if a recession kills demand for 12 months, tanks may not refill enough to provide the buffer we need to deal with supply shortages that are likely to continue afterward.
The recent selloff has energy indexes off just as much as they were in Sept of 08'. You are not buying at all-time highs.

Most intriguing is what happened next if you bought at these levels in 2008...
Even though oil stocks kept crashing in 08' and early 09' energy investors who bought after the first selloff kept pace with the S&P the entire time!

And the supply situation and storage levels are even worse now!
After seeing these 6 charts, I now believe energy stocks will see a faster recovery than 2008 during a recession and will outperform the market even if you buy them today.

Curious what's going on with #cannabis stocks?

Here are 5 charts you need to see🧵
$VRNO $TRUL $CURA $CCHW $AYR $CL $GTII
Current Ratio: Measures if they can pay current liabilities if due today. Below 1 is bad.

If you exclude inventories which can't all be sold at once only 3 of 7 can pay current liabilities.
All companies getting up there on debt levels. If we take off tax payments which they have been paying even with operating "losses" not a lot of borrowing room left except for the bottom 4.

EBITDA = cash available to pay debt

Will US LNG bail out the natural gas market?

I spent a week diving deep and I have some news...🧵
LNG certainly looks like it is going to take gas demand and prices to a whole new level.

In this thread I'll take you through all the moving parts, my big conclusion and some stocks I think are positioned to win.
1) LNG Demand: According to Cheniere and others, demand will grow 120mtpa by 2026. Based on LNG under construction, North America will capture 40% of that, equal to 50mtpa or 6.6bcf/d of gas. Image

A quick refresher on why investing in US natural gas looks like a home run right now.
#COM #OOTT #EFT
The US produces about 100 Bcfe/d of gas.

Outside America, the world consumes 280 Bcfe/d for a total of 380Bcfe/d of global demand.
Gas is much greener than coal or oil.
Gas gives off far fewer emissions than both coal and oil (see "EQT" bar on the left)

(1)Aphria $APHA is trading for ~$25.

If the Tilray $TLRY merger goes through Aphria investors get $38

A 55% return is up for grabs, but it doesn't come for free.

Time for a thread on "merger arbitrage"
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
(2)Merger arbitrage is simply betting a merger between two companies will close when other investors think it won't.

This bet takes the form of a spread between the deal price and the current stock price of the company being bought.
(3)Company A is buying company B for shares of stock. Company B trades for $10 but company B shareholders will get $12 worth of company A stock if deal closes.

So there is 20% upside for owners of company B stock
*IF the deal closes and
*IF company A's stock price doesn't fall
