Smead: Market has shifted to make energy stocks worth buying again
Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe
Categories:
William Smead, manager of the Smead Value Fund, has been bearish on energy stocks and oil companies for years, but he says in the Market Call that the market has been shifting, which makes energy stocks worth buying. He notes that demographics showing that millennials will double their use of gasoline -- despite the increased acceptance of alternative-energy engines in cars -- and that recent troubles have improved valuations of big oil and energy to where they are worth buying. Likewise, he sees a powerful trend in household formation among millennials that will help home-builders and other consumer businesses. Also on the show, Gerri Walsh of the FINRA Education Foundation talks about investor knowledge levels, Vince Annable discusses the 'Household Endowment Model' for managing money, and David Trainer of New Constructs puts two stocks in the Danger Zone.
