Oil above $100 won't climb forever.

demand destruction kicks in eventually, growth slows. Supply shocks could push it higher, but expect a bumpy ride, not a straight rally.

Winners: low cost energy producers with solid balance sheets, plus oilfield services and pipelines as spending ramps up.

Losers: airlines, transport, fuel heavy businesses. Consumer discretionary takes a hit too, manufacturers feel margin pressure.

I wouldn't chase oil after a rally though. I'd rather own businesses that benefit without depending on it.

    Above 80, free cash flow gets silly for low cost names, but capital discipline matters more than volume now. Buybacks and dividends are doing the heavy lifting
    • Investforget: 
      Exactly. Once oil gets that high, capital discipline becomes just as important as production growth.

    Pipelines still look like the cleaner long hold to me. Cash flows and payouts are steadier, and they do not need oil to go vertical
    • Investforget: 
      Pipelines offer a different way to play energy without needing oil prices to keep climbing.
