How to Play the Texas Tea Momentum
In May 2008 a call from a major brokerage was heard round the
world. It was the “super spike” in the price of oil which called
for prices to dramatically increase from the $115 level to an
unthinkable $150-$200 a barrel. This call came from the same
analyst that three years earlier saw $100 barrel crude when sweet
Texas tea was hovering close to $60. The earlier call was also a
somewhat unthinkable prospect.
Recently, we got another call from the same brokerage… just
a different analyst this time. The call isn’t quite the same,
but the idea is. Oil prices are expected to move higher. We will
leave the details of Iran or supply and demand out of this
discussion and focus on how we can best position our portfolio
based on this move. Of course you'll need to agree with the
basic thesis that oil will be moving higher and have some faith in
Goldman Sach's and thier research.
Who Benefits
The immediate thought of who benefits rests with the largest
players in the oil patch. Chevron ( CVX),
Exxon Mobil ( XOM) and
ConocoPhillips ( COP) come to mind. The services
like Halliburton Company ( HAL) and
Schlumberger ( SLB) could also see some benefit as
a result.
One area that could see exaggerated benefit would be the
drillers. As oil prices continue to increase, the willingness of
speculators to search new sources of oil should lead to gains for
the drillers. Those that are successful at new holes in proven
reserves are even more attractive.
Conclusion
Higher oil prices pump a crimp on all spending in the US economy,
but some sectors feel the pain more than others. Airlines and
automakers bear the brunt of it, but higher fuel costs send prices
higher on just about everything from food to computer parts. That
does not mean we cannot find a few areas of strength to take
advantage of big moves in the price of oil. Alternatives like
wind, solar and nat gas should also see a rise in prices.
Look for the "best in breed" in each alternatives sector to
be rewarded if oil prices continue to rise.
