Welcome to episode 59 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute profile on stocks related to recent news stories with investment implications. This week, with Brent crude oil hitting a wartime high of US$125 per barrel on Thursday, reflecting investor concerns about rising inflation, as well as reports that the US is considering additional attacks on Iran, the questions of the moment are, “How are investors reallocating capital in the oil and gas space away from the Middle East? And which oil stocks offer the clearest paths to potentially benefit?”
Here are Jon’s show notes for episode 59:
- Where modern drilling meets Egypt’s untapped potential.
- Jon’s oil stock brimming with promise is TAG Oil (TSXV:TAO), a Canadian-based operator focused on opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa.
- At the time of writing, TAG Oil stock last traded at C$0.09, giving back 10 per cent year-over-year and 70.97 per cent since 2021.
Here are Trevor’s show notes:
- Betting beyond the blockade: 3 energy value stocks for the long run.
- Trevor’s oil stock with untapped potential is PetroTal (TSX:TAL), the largest crude oil producer in Peru.
