Investors writing off oil as a dying asset, this is not an investment thesis, and it is costing people real money.
Calling something outdated does not make the economics disappear.
Energy demand is still here. Cash flow is still being generated. The fundamentals still exist whether people agree with them or not.
Where investors get into trouble is when they mix identity with strategy.
Your personal beliefs and your portfolio decisions are two separate conversations.
When those lines blur, decisions become emotional instead of rational.
And emotional decisions rarely hold up when real capital is on the line.
The investors who stay grounded focus on what the data shows, not what the narrative says.
Because markets do not reward opinions.
They reward outcomes built on real economics.
Where do you think narrative is influencing investment decisions more than data right now?
