"you have a rapidly growing company with a tremendous economic moat repurchasing shares and throwing off enough cash to pay double the dividend you receive as an owner of a large-cap index."
2/ Engineers have nearly doubled fuel economy despite exploding vehicle size, weight and horsepower due to consumer preference for bigger, safer faster cars
This is proof of superb R&D by automotive OEMs
1/ By June 8th of this year, the S&P500’’s Energy stocks were up 70% in a -13% market. From June 8 to June 24th the sector fell -22%. That’s 11 trading days.

1/ I’m staring at a list of stocks in the S&P 500 Index. The results are sorted by their weighting in the index from largest to smallest. At a 6.97% weight, $AAPL is at the top.
Virtue-divestments = higher cost of capital = means the suppliers of said capital achieve higher returns.
We've had a few people, who do NOT own energy, tell us that our long energy thesis is now "consensus" (without irony)
Let this chart put that to rest:

BEVs have 2x the inventory supply of ICE motors.
Bit early for an inventory pile-up in a business where investors have exponential expectations baked into multiples, no?
'The nationwide supply of EVs in stock has swelled nearly 350% this year, to more than 92,000 units. That's a 92-day supply, nearly twice the industry average. Dealers have a relatively low 54 days' worth of gasoline-powered vehicles in inventory.'
1/ The chart below shows the cumulative taxes expensed by the constituents of the S&P’s energy sector vs. Apple.
Legendary for their tax evasion skills, KCR has not heard our politicians propose a windfall profits tax on Apple.
@KobeissiLetter
The national debt and the burden it will place on future generations should be front-page news every single day. It is existential and should be treated as such.
@GuyDealership
Could not agree more.
How many people have cars with perfect motors and transmissions and weird electronic glitches making the vehicle intermittently inoperable?
This chart is another example of the reckless speculation underway today. Please read our blog to see how these speculative 20x price-to-sales firms did post the bubble and how they look today.

I don't like unserious environmentalists that haven't researched or understood the trade-offs of their proposals.

In Q2 2023, Palantir generated $28 million in GAAP net income, delivering our third consecutive quarter of profitability.

Grateful to be living in America.
The stuff we are angry at one-another about is luxury problems.
Healthy reminder to see each other as "part-of" and try to set aside the "they" mentality so prevalent today.
Thank you for this!
7/ History suggests these moments are fear-filled but also provide unusual opportunities – although I readily admit nobody knows how long these “crashes” can go on.
5/ Most people I speak with are wary of them due to that fear and the belief the commodity price is vulnerable. Everyone seems to have their “trading hat” on (or their “ESG hat” on) and seems to be ignoring the fundamentals.
@PXDtweets
9/ This is a company, like $DVN, that has adopted a very clear and simple payout structure. A base dividend that is fixed at $3.12 a share p.a. After paying that out, they return 75% of the remaining FCF to shareholders.
7/ We can rephrase the above as follows: if the oil price were to fall by 20% in the face of chronic underinvestment, shortages & soaring demand, $DVN would be an investment-grade large-cap company with a FCF yield in the teens with the bulk of it being paid out to equity owners.
10/ ...unlike BEVs, PHEVs only impose modest pressure on the grid.
~29% of charging is in daylight hours when renewables are available.
PHEVs achieve the bulk of BEV benefits w/a fraction of the lithium w/o needing to rebuild the grid
PHEVs are a better solution than BEVs.

Yet another divisive controversy that pits Americans against one another on ideological grounds - when we should be seeking common ground to unite and solve the myriad problems facing the country.

This is after Toyota was shamed relentlessly because they didn't go all-in on EVs.

12/ Let's look again: At $60 WTI this thing generates enough FCF to pay a $17/share dividend. At today’s share price that is a 7.2% dividend yield assuming oil plummets to $60 for the remainder of the year. The current indicated yield is over 13% according to

3/ On a call with a friend/PM at “XYZ” we talked briefly about energy. I commented that the stocks seemed to be discounting $75 oil. His view was that if he put his “trading hat on” that oil going from $100 to $75 would bury the stocks.

Historically, when market participants begin to adopt the "but this time it's different," in regards to bubbles, it always ends bad for them.
@LanceRoberts
Agree that margins will fall Lance – to where is what we wonder.
As you know: with margins above the prior 100 year peak in 1929, the risks are without precedent

13/ The slide below shows that they have drilling inventory of 20 years that allows them to break-even at $40 WTI. So the company is not running off the last few years of available oil or facing some huge problem from high-grading to pump margins short term.
@MacroCharts
Sometimes it feels like there is money lying in plain daylight.
What could we be missing here?
Indexes almost back to the '21 peaks, multi-trillion dollar quality at 3% FCF yields with money markets yielding 5.5% and real-economy stocks at 10% - 20% FCF yields.
How this?
@KobeissiLetter
From a logical perspective, it would be difficult to make a compelling case for a "comfortably long" mentality.
But the markets haven't reflected logical reality in quite some time.
@DonMiami3
In 1999, Buffett explained that if corporate margins got above 6% that meant workers were getting crushed and we'd have real social problems.
Well margins are over 10% today - above the last high in 1929.
The good news is we've been here & can recover
