is now the time to invest in oil stocks?

Trader Jack Chan hasn't been in energy for several years, but reentered this month - October.
The first page of his public charts shows all his energy ETFs. The only change I would make is to use ZEO instead of XEG.
https://stockcharts.com/public/1094070
Short-term trend lines are firmly in place on all charts.
The two most important acronyms Jack uses on his charts:
TLBBS : trendline break buy signal
TLBSS : trendline break sell signal

Anyone have thoughts on what the negatives are on safer picks like PPL.TO? They're still down massively like the rest of oil picks, but they've had positive EPS the entire year unlike other picks like Suncor which have been losing billions for the past few quarters.
That said, I've always had trouble distinguishing between undervalued picks vs. value traps..

CPPIB says excluding fossil fuels from its portfolio would be 'an active short on human ingenuity'
https://financialpost.com/financial-tim ... -ingenuity
“There are clearly stakeholders asking for investors to exclude oil and gas companies from their portfolios. To do that, I think, would be an active short on human ingenuity,” Richard Manley, CPPIB’s head of sustainable investing, told the Financial Times. “You actually have to take a very deliberate view that these management teams will not respond to changing regulation and changing expectations.”

CPPIB main goal is to invest in businesses that have solid business models and a history of predictable Cashflows. The fact that "Green" investors are exiting non-renewable investments driving valuations down doesn't make them poor business models. CPPIB makes long term bets, not short-mid term "flavour of the day" investments. Valuations matter, and several renewable sector businesses are far from attractive on current fundamentals on strip Cashflows. I would expect CPPIB to expand renewable positions when long-term fundamentals make sense. Even the most ardent renewable supporters are looking at 2030-35 for significant energy transition.MrMom wrote: ↑ CPPIB says excluding fossil fuels from its portfolio would be 'an active short on human ingenuity'

As of March 2020, CPPIB public equity portfolio was 13.7% weighted in CNQ. Hardly a bearish call.

I've been scared off from E&P names after taking some losses in 2016. The pipelines look like good value to me but I'd like to keep my investment in them limited in case I'm wrong. I had about 25% in pipelines in 2016 which was great for dividend income but it was stressing me out and I realized it was too much for me.

IDK who or what you are replying to, but from the FP/FT article and my chosen quote, i thought it was clear that I and the pension plan were bullish on human ingenuity. Where's the bearish call?
I've posted that I'm also long CNQ fwiw.

Wasn't referring to your outlook or position. Simply reinforcing the idea that not all Institutional investors believe fossil fuel investments are "dead". The added CPP position weighting simply reinforces the (your / mine as well) point.

O&G Assets are cheap based on cashflow runways towards renewable transitions. The main issue is public investment is exiting. Alternative Asset managers (aka BAM / Berkshire) know assets are cheap based on cashflow streams and are scooping them up (Berkshire / Dominion Deal $10B in July). Business models work for private equity but tough for retail investors when Public markets / Gov't agendas depress trading valuations monthly/yearly.Chance7652 wrote: ↑ I watch what BAM is buying and they've been buying midstream assets the last couple of years which is a good sign they're undervalued.

Wow!!! CVE had paid down some debt last year, but this is going to hit CVE's share price and the conversion valuation.
Imagine, HSE was going to pay ~$11 for MEG recently.
"Husky shareholders will receive 0.7845 of a Cenovus share and 0.0651 of a Cenovus share purchase warrant in exchange for each Husky common share, according to the statement."
Official PR;
https://www.cenovus.com/news/news-relea ... eader.html
COB Prices;
CVE = $4.88C/$3.71U
HSE = $3.17C
Inferred HSE equity valuation (CAD) = ($4.88*0.7845) + ($4.88*0.0651) = $3.828 + $0.3177 = $4.1457
* That's not the exact math as an HSE equity shareholder will receive the right to buy more CVE, but you do have to pay for them. Alternatively, you can sell the warrants, so what you will actually receive is TBD.
** HSE debt holders will be doing their happy dance.
"Net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA ratio of less than 2x expected to be achieved in 2022"

Updates to CVE post.
(1) Cenovus to Create Canada Oil Giant With $2.9 Billion Husky Deal
Published on October 25 2020, 5:27 PM
Read more at: https://www.bloombergquint.com/business ... stock-deal
"Buying Husky will boost Cenovus’s production to about 750,000 barrels a day of oil equivalent from about 475,000 now. But perhaps more importantly, it will gain substantial downstream assets, namely additional refinery and pipeline capacity. That will equip Cenovus to refine and upgrade 70% of its crude at its own refineries. The company says that will leave it less exposed to Western Canada Select ..."
“Nobody should be surprised if non-core assets are sold,” Pourbaix said in the interview. Husky’s retail business, which includes gas stations and travel centers across most of Canada, is a division “we will take a look at.”
(2) Cenovus to buy Husky for $2.9 billion to create No.3 Canadian energy firm; more deals seen
OCTOBER 25, 2020 7:34 AM
https://www.reuters.com/article/husky-e ... SKBN27A0FD
After the deal closes, Cenovus shareholders would own 61% of the combined entity, with Husky shareholders controlling the rest. Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing-controlled Hutchison Whampoa would hold a 15.7% stake in the new company. Hutchison Whampoa is the biggest shareholder of Husky currently, with a 40.2% stake.
BTW;
Nuttall opined on HSE on BNN TV. "There's just absolutely no reason to own the stock."

Cenovus deal may be just the beginning as some analysts anticipate more energy sector consolidation
October 25 at 12:09 PM ET
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/busines ... pate-more/
"Scotia also predicts there will be further consolidation among Calgary-based oil sands producers, with MEG Energy Corp. a possible takeover target. ... MEG’s market capitalization is now just $717-million."

Update #3
Canadian oil-sands producer Cenovus Energy and Husky Energy, controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka Shing, agreed to merge in an all-stock deal valued at $2.89 billion
Updated October 25, 2020 04:25 p.m. EDT
https://www.wsj.com/articles/cenovus-an ... 1603632994
"As part of the transaction, Mr. Li’s company agreed to a five-year standstill agreement, meaning it won’t sell shares until the agreement expires. That should signal to investors the conglomerate won’t unload its shares and put pressure on the stock price, Mr. Pourbaix said."
Update #4 via Morningstar
Excerpts;
"Based on our analysis, the solvent-aided process could eventually be the lowest-cost oil sands production, with most potential production having break-even prices around $45/bbl"
"The warrants carry a CAD 6.54 strike price that can be exercised within five years of the transaction’s completion date."
"As a result of the transaction, we are lowering our fair value estimate for Cenovus to $6.50/CAD 9 per share from $7.50/CAD 10 and increasing our fair value estimate for Husky to $5/CAD 7 from $4.50/CAD 6. We are maintaining our no moat rating for both companies."

But how much normal O&G did the $500B (which is miniscule amount anyways) lubricant for renewable displace from o&g generation?
I'll guess way more than$500B worth ?
