Geographically attractive rather than immediately economically attractive for oil companies is the broad conclusion of this Odd Lots podcast. Sanctions, blockades, infrastructure, high breakeven costs of heavy crude, geopolitical risks are all headaches. A lot is just Trump's personal whims.

I was bullish homebuilders in mid-2022 when the rulebook says you wait for rate cuts to buy housing, now I don't trust the equal-weight/bank stocks even though the rule book says chart breakouts + tax cuts + rate cuts is when to own them -- it's been an unusual, out of sync cycle.
