The Oxford Club | I've been bullish on energy since it was clear that the world was going to open again from the pandemic. Expectations of a recession haven't been fulfilled. Economies around the world are growing. And growing economies require more and more energy. [The ONLY Way to Play Markets Like These. Find Out Here.] According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, global liquid fuel consumption is expected to rise by 1.5 million barrels per day in 2023 and by another 1.8 million barrels per day in 2024. Though a few countries are still buying oil from Russia, it remains a global outcast. Its former customers aren't buying. There is less supply for those boycotting Russian oil, while demand is increasing. And that supply crunch means big opportunity. Brent crude oil is currently around $76 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate crude is at $70 per barrel. Barclays expects Brent to average $92 per barrel in 2023 and West Texas Intermediate to average $87 per barrel. The benchmarks are expected to rise in 2024 to $97 and $92, respectively. Furthermore, energy stocks are in a long-term uptrend.

The top holdings in the exchange-traded fund are ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP). With demand for energy unlikely to weaken in the future, this ETF should continue to move higher. Lastly, energy stocks often pay big dividends. Several major oil companies, like Exxon, pay more than 3%. Pipeline companies, like Plains All American (PAA), often sport yields between 6% and 8%. And there are even energy companies whose yields reach double digits. Despite an increase in solar, wind and other sustainable power sources, oil and gas will still be needed for a long time to meet the world's energy needs. If you're looking for growth and income, energy stocks should be an important part of your portfolio. Good investing, Marc P.S. If you're looking for a safer way to profit from the oil boom without buying regular oil and gas stocks, look no further. Today I'll show you how to collect monthly income directly from the Permian Basin. Bloomberg reports that the Permian is "uniquely positioned to become the world's most important growth engine for oil production." While it's the largest oil basin in the United States, only 37% of its wells have been tapped. So the lion's share of its growth still lies ahead of it. And you can get your share of this growth today. For more info on my #1 oil and gas royalty for 2023, click here now.
