BP continues to throw money down wind farm and other green energy "rabbit holes." Its oil and gas reserves are declining and will continue to do so. The company's primary source of revenue at present. They have no firm dates for showing a profit in green energy nor any roadmap as to how this will happen. We think there are better opportunities in the E&P space. WE RATE BP A SELL AT CURRENT PRICES (primal scream). Introduction I haven't followed BP$BP PLC(BP)$ (NYSE:BP) closely for a while, as I didn't consider them investable. A couple of years ago I became concerned they were losing mission focus-making money, in search of green energy virtue signaling, and lacked commitment in returning capital to their shareholders. I am running an investment-hi

IntroductionEverything is on the energy side of the stock supermarket sale these days. You could almost throw a dart at a list of energy stocks and come away with a winner. Hold your horses, and take your finger off that "unfollow" button...Isaid, "almost." The downdraft in producers I sort of get in the face of oil and gas price declines. The same for the OFS companies. But, the fact the toll-taking midstream sector is down 20-30% suggests that factors other than the business fundamentals are in play. In this article we will look at one factor in particular that may be sending investors scurrying for cover. It's a new era and debt is a four-letter word.Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) is a solid dividend payer with a strong track record of paying a fairly stable highyielding dividend-through good

Demand for the low gravity oil it produces has boosted revenues and profits over the last couple of years.

The era of easy, low-priced energy has come to an end. Production trends from key oil producing areas are not positive. We are and have been bullish on oil and gas stocks and think the rally is still in its early phase. Oil oriented ETFs such as the USO and BNO may be avenues for participating in any gains made in crude prices. IntroductionThe last couple of weeks of September were a rough period in the energy market if you were long oil or related equities. That's probably the understatement of the year. Nearly every negative sentiment-recession, Fed tightening, dollar strength, Chinademand, inventory builds, or what amounts to the entire oil priceCloset of Anxieties, came to pass during this period. Oil-WTI took a tumble below $80 for the first time since Jan 11th of this year, closing F

We are maintaining a buy on Tetra Technologies below $4.00 and reiterating a target of $8.00 as the industry gains steam in 2023. IntroductionTETRA Technologies, Inc.$Tetra(TTI)$ disappointed the market with its Q3 2022 earnings release. The market didn't take it kindly and took the company down a peg.

The market is a bit of a nervous nellie, and when the conference call began, TTI stock began to sink like a stone, cracking $4.00 before rebounding a bit.In this article, we will identify the key areas that led to the selloff and

We don't think Occidental Petroleum will stop there and detail reasons why in this article. Occidental Petroleum remains attractive for new investors at current levels for continued gains from a reversal of the oil price weakness and a potential future Buffett bid to take them private.
