“Coming out of 2022 into a world where as price takers, you see a massive demand that was not priced in from AI, it's brought that sector back into play.”
“No country ever in history has achieved economic success without having cheap energy. The obvious stuff is thinking about the chain, exploration, development, production, thinking about the suppliers into delivering on that chain.”
“Was excited about China, for example, back in the day. Now, not so much. It's underperformed. Returns have just not panned out.”
