LOL came to post this. I bought in the low 60s last year and very happy so far. It's offset the Amazon losses purchased concurrently.

VLO. But I got in at $90.

AMZN is down around 50% from its all time high. Broad market down about 15% over the same time frame. Same story for NKE.

Edit: wrong emoji. This is a good thing and I'm loading up on both

Nike has a .6 rating on my Fidelity (out of 10)

and since I bought it, it has gone up 43%

PLUG. Industry leader in their space with some lucrative contracts and political backing. It's the one "green" company focused on hydrogen that I've owned for many years. It has paid well.

My original cost basis was about $0.45 and I sold several thousands shares at its peak around $70. That was a good day.

Still have several hundred shares with a cost basis around $5 although my average has gone up some because I've purchased more when it dips down to around $12-14. Lately it's been moving around +- $5 for a while so I basically buy more if the price is dipping whenever I have dividends spin off in the account it sits with my other stocks.

EPD, had for over 15 yrs. Consistent w/its dividend.
ET, another MLP w/good balance sheet & consistent dividend.

I'd be looking at energy sector or financial/insurance or consumables. All should do very well again this year.

Bought EOG when it was at $50 for my boys.

Held ASO from 16 to 32…need some more winners like that one.

Have this as well and bought a good bit of AMZN

Energy is actually a tougher play right now to enter. I'd say everything is fairly priced. You've now got to pick specific winners instead of broad market success.

Anyone slinging shale stocks as your total energy exposure you gotta be careful. Shale's decline curves mean that returning capital to investors means not being able to drill future wells. It can quickly become a rob peter to pay paul situation like the last 5-6 years have played out.

My take is have a balance between supermajors, canadian oil sands, and some shale companies that were there in the beginning of the shale revolution.

Supermajors are never first, but they can operate at scale. Canadian oil sands don't have a reservoir problem and their capex translates to longer return lengths as its more similar to mining than drilling. Shale is the nice on off peaking switch to capacity. Once more LNG operations come online, decline problem won't be as bad.

I don't think you can go wrong just buying the NASDAQ 100 ETF like QQQ and hold. Tech's not going anywhere.

Rewind two-ish years ago. Oil just went negative. It was a very easy buy time because of how oversold oil and gas was. For example. OVV went to $2.30 a share then. Its now $50. There has been a big run up in OG over the last two years. I'm not saying it won't continue, there are strong reasons to think the OG industry will have good returns for the next 2-3 years at least. But I think we've reached a point where oil stocks tickers are fairly priced. OVV, isn't going to 20x in price over the next two years like it has. There is more downside risk to entering OG stocks today than there was 3,6,9,12,18,24 months ago. This is how run ups work. Unless you like buying high and selling low.

Bought some VTLE today. I think it is underpriced.

Tech seems like a good play considering they are going to be more profitable coming out of this cutting all of that dead weight in labor.

I like MGPI. They make bourbon for a lot of folks.

For a long time, they sold new make bourbon at $600 per barrel to a lot of different brands. They have canceled a lot of contracts and now sell aged bourbon. 5 year barrel is like $4500 - $5000. Storage cost is virtually $0.

I bought in the 40's before all the inflation because bourbon is commodity based. I don't that I would add to my position at $100 but I'm not selling either.
