Natural gas prices are ripping. And we’re going to play it through a “contrarians-choice” 5.9%-payer whose stock is headed in the other direction.

This is a perfect contrarian setup, and I don’t expect it to last.

I’m talking about Enbridge (ENB), whose share price has lagged in the first few weeks of 2026, even as gas prices went to the moon:

Gas Soars—and Enbridge Gives Us an Opening

To be sure, this gas-price spike is driven by the arrival of a “generational” winter storm here in the US. But it’s a sign of things to come, as gas demand is not going anywhere.… Read more

I’m talking about the “natty’s” $2 price floor. Every time it drops to that level (or below) it takes off. Check it out:

There’s no doubt that 2022 was the year of energy, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine caused supply shocks that sent oil and gas prices soaring. But with inflation data more muted and most of the disruptions now long priced-in as we enter a New Year, it may be time to start getting much more selective about the energy sector.
