Tough week in the energy space with the ZLT down ~17% on the week with energy benchmarks down 17 to 20% as the markets and commodities fell with in a summer swoon over inflation / recession fears exacerbated by the quad witch. Markets may remain unsettled. Our names are largely low forward multiple and high forward yield at oil and gas prices well below current levels and all of our core plays have strong balance sheets. We have been slowly adding to held positions while evaluating new adds to the portfolio.
Free Stuff Last Week: None
Holdings Watch:
- We added to one solar name, one upstream oily name, one upstream gassy name, and on oil service name.
- The blotter is updated.
Questions under The Wrap will be addressed in the Tuesday post.
