CNQ broke resistance at 82.17 following a consolidation period going back to April 2022

Hi Larry, good calls on this, any current favorites (besides CNQ) ? Am holding CNQ, IMO, SU, POU, MPC, & UNG; energy my largest sector committment w/cash & BRKb my biggest holdings. Thanks.

Paul to come up with the best names in a sector just do chart comparisons such as CNQ:SU. You might consider owning some XOP. I had to take profits in VET today because it was at 87 RSI and went up too quick. I would buy VET on any pullback. Gas may have more comparative upside after getting so low. TOU is good. I’m a big fan of CNQ. Everyone knows CNQ is projected to hit its’ net debt target in Q1 2024 after which 100% of all cash flow will be paid out in dividends or share buy backs. Other energy companies may be in similar situations. You are smart holding Brk.b. MPC
