Based in Houston, Texas, Josh is a U.S. energy investor with a soft spot for Canadian oil and gas names. From small-cap bargains to activist shakeups, mergers, and Josh’s contrarian take on the oil cycle—this episode is a must-watch for investors looking to find value where others see risk.Josh fields mailbag questions on some of the most closely watched names in energy. He breaks down why Whitecap’s (WCP) U.S. listing debate matters, Strathcona’s bid for MEG Energy (SCR, MEG), and why Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) could be a surprise buyer. He compares CNQ and Suncor (SU), weighing their capital discipline and reserve outlook, and also takes a question on Cenovus (CVE)—where he doesn’t rule out the potential for activist involvement given its underperformance. Josh also shares his thoughts on Baytex (BTE), SandRidge (SD), and more.In Pro Picks, Josh reveals he’s active in Journey Energy (JOY), which he believes holds major untapped value in conventional oil assets, power generation, and Duvernay shale. He sees Ensign Energy Services (ESI), which is backed by CNQ’s Murray Edwards and Prem Watsa’s Fairfax, as a misunderstood deep-value play, and he highlights Vital Energy (VTLE), a Permian name whose stock has been unfairly punished despite improved operations.Timestamps00:00 Show intro and why Josh has a soft spot for Canadian energy03:20 Why U.S. and Canadian valuations look similar right now04:45 How much risk tolerance do you need to be invested in this space?07:20 How much M&A does Josh expect in the sector?09:45 Is institutional money coming back into the space?11:50 What does Josh think about Mark Carney and what he means for the sector?13:40 Josh’s contrarian view on the oil price and why he thinks it’s going higher18:40 What about the Saudis and OPEC?
