Buy, Baby, Buy: My 12 Favorite Energy Stocks For What's Next
Energy stocks are proving their strength, outperforming the market despite oil price stagnation. Structural shifts, deglobalization, and inflation favor long-term upside.

Exxon Mobil Is A Better Bet Than XLE On Oil Any Price Recovery
The latest oil price correction is overdone and I see several catalysts that could trigger a rebound. The leading catalysts include usually low strategic petroleum reserves, crude stocks inventory, and also the potential of more favorable policies for domestic production. XOM is better positioned to benefit in case of an oil price recovery than the sector average, represented by XLE, for several reasons.
