Simon Lack and Henry Hoffman of SL Advisors consider inflation risks to investors and how to respond.
In the United Arab Emirates, they’ve started building metal cages to protect vital energy infrastructure from Iranian drone attacks. It’s probably inspired by the netting that Ukraine has been erecting over streets to protect its population from drones. In a sign of the impact AI is having on how we use the internet, AI-generated images […]
Although the war with Iran has inflicted higher energy prices on the world, companies involved in US energy exports have been among the biggest beneficiaries. The availability of oil and gas that doesn’t need to dodge Iranian missiles in the Strait of Hormuz or Houthis as it exits the Red Sea has boosted US trade. […]
I was chatting with a long-time investor the other day. He told me that he couldn’t afford to withdraw any of his investment with us. The capital gains tax would be prohibitive, he went on to explain. We both chuckled at this high-class problem. I told him that creating such golden handcuffs is part of […]
Energy Transfer (ET) is the name most widely owned among those financial advisors we know with direct investments in the sector. It is perennially cheap, and it’s a frequent topic of conversation. It’s also a significant position of ours, so it was especially pleasing to see their strong second quarter earnings. As well as beating […]
By 2035 the demand for US natural gas will reach 163 Billion Cubic Feet per Day (BCF/D) according to Wells Fargo, an increase of half from last year. The twin drivers of this will be power generation whose natural gas consumption will rise from 36 BCF/D to 61 BCF/D, and exports, mostly Liquefied Natural Gas […]
The 75th edition of the Statistical Review of World Energy contains all the data a student of global energy could need. If you need to know Latvia’s solar power generation over the past couple of years (1.4 Terrawatt Hours and 2.0 respectively), this is the place to look. Last year the world produced 600 Exajoules […]
Since the Iran War began at the end of February, the price of European LNG and a composite of three US LNG exporters (Cheniere, Venture Global and NextDecade) have tracked each other fairly reliably. At the outbreak of hostilities, LNG investors were slow to realize the opportunity, but after a month of conflict both were […]
We’ve been providing sector updates to a number of clients recently. Midstream had a good 1Q but stalled during 2Q. The resumption of hostilities last week pushed stocks higher, but even without that we think valuations remain attractive. Enterprise Value/EBITDA at 11.1X is close to the ten-year average, a period which includes the 2020 pandemic […]
Around this time of year people ask me if we Brits celebrate July 4th. I have devised a variety of ripostes to this friendly goading. School history classes never even reached 1776 – interminable hours were dedicated to prior centuries. Perhaps English historians concluded nothing much important happened 250 years ago… Of course, we do […]
Apparently, the senior executives of Exxon and Chevron weren’t the only ones worried about inadequate oil inventories causing prices to spike (see Is Crude At A Tipping Point?). The White House heard the message, and ships are once again moving freely through the Strait of Hormuz. The world is suddenly awash with oil, which by […]
