So, what do we do?
1) Avoid Oil because it is in a speculative bubble?
2) Play the bubble to the upside.....or, play it for the down side?
3) If you're gonna play it, how will you play it? Producers, equipment, pipelines, shipping, or do your own prospecting?
Personally, I started dabbling in prospecting last summer.
great questions, Hoop.
I believe oil valuations are here to stay - unfortunately the only thing that will stop the steep incline is the US economy that will stop in its tracks - I am keeping my eyes glued to the unemployment numbers and frankly they appear a bit skewed at first glance.
initially, I owned many Canadian Royalty Trusts and Canadian Oil Sands to play both oil and natural gas. I held many different units but was heavily concentrated in those as well as SWN, UPL and CHK.
I sold all of the above shortly after a Canadian law restricted tax exclusions of the trusts a couple of Halloweens ago.
Since then, my thoughts to play the oil arena changed by investing more in the infrastructure instead of the commodity itself because at $100+ levels, all of the exploration and other infrastructure companies can now borrow, spend and afford enormous projects including ocean drilling, transport and shipping.
I have owned and continue to trade in and out of FRO and SFL.
Currently, one of my largest holdings is SeaDrill which I have owned for about a year and a half.
Do your own DD and good luck.
