I’m holding a large 8% equity position in BABA in my 401k. I had to sell some stocks for the purchase of a home this past Spring and liquidated most of my BABA Calls to offset my taxable gains in 2022. I did have a massive loss on those long calls but the beautiful thing about going levered long on multiple deeply undervalued stocks is you only have to be right once.

Biden and most rational politicians realize the answer to American energy independence and affordable prices is "all the above."

Biden's power to do anything is severely limited. The banks and investors aren't interested in funding a lot of exploration. Most people in the business realize that constrained supply = greater profits. They know that they are on the back of the demand curve and they are going to try to pull down supply to maximize profits as long as they can.

Anyone who thinks this is simply partisan is not seeing the whole picture.
What’s about to happen over the next few years in energy is a classic human mistake that gets repeated over and over again. A new technology is discovered and society gets hyper excited, immediately writing off the old way and throwing unbelievable amounts of capital at the new technology far beyond what can achieve an acceptable return. Over a few years tons of investor capital is destroyed until a few sustainable companies are left that go on to prosper. It happened with cars, trains, airplanes, the internet, etc etc. Renewable Energy is just the latest fad. To make matters worse, even if policy were changed to immediately support production, it’ll take 3 years to meaningfully increase supply. Next few years will be very interesting.

I've been accumulating since $5 a share and still believe the stock is cheap. My base case Fair value for the stock is $70—$80

$400/ton coal doesn’t last. Too much coal in the world.

$150 oil puts tar/oil sand production back in high gear. US and North American supply insulates us from Russia and the Middle East. The shift will hasten electric vehicles which will hasten non fossil fuels.

I’m not sure there is a single state with the infrastructure to support a mass influx of EVs. And the average middle income household can’t afford an EV to begin with.

The EV mania over the past couple of years has led to complete and utter irrational exuberance. Led to Tesla becoming a Meme stock and currently trades for over 50 times earnings. EVs are currently a very niche market for upper middle class and above folks, like cell phones in the 90s. We're at least 10 years away from have the infrastructure to support mass adoption of EVs

Every manufacturer has an electric lineup. I think the electric transition is well underway. Some manufacturers have announced the end of ICE power. The new ones never had it. Charging a car overnight is cheap in most areas. More and more people are using battery backup for house hold power continuity. Roof and siding solar will be the norm. 10 years until what? 50/50 or full EV. I think 50/50 is easier than people think once production gives economies of scale. Electric Vehicle prices will fall especially with a ride share culture. Fleets of UBERs will drive sales initially. Why own a depreciating asset that represents the second largest expense the average person has, if you don’t have to.

Deleted. Someone might misconstrue my thoughts as being political. I do not want that.
