Summary

David Hay argues that oil and natural gas are severely mispriced given the historic supply shock from the Iran conflict, predicts sustained high energy prices, and recommends energy stocks, EM debt, silver, China, and US midcaps as opportunities. He also sees tactical long Treasuries as a hedge against an overconcentrated US stock market and prefers short-term bonds for safety.

  • Crude oil severely underpriced as the Iran conflict creates the worst energy supply shock ever, with inventory drawdowns and potential for $120-$150/bbl.
  • US natural gas is at a 90% discount to global prices and set to soar on AI data-center demand, LNG exports, and bearish positioning.
  • Specific long ideas: Expand Energy (EXE), Range Resources (RRC), New Hope Mining (coal), Nutrien (NTR) for fertilizer shortages.
  • Silver is a value target near the high $60s, supported by AI/defense demand and monetary debasement.
  • Emerging market debt is favored over rich-world bonds due to higher yields, positive fundamentals, and price uptrends.
  • China (FXI) and US midcaps (IJH) offer diversification away from the concentrated tech mega-caps, and financials are intriguing.
  • Long-term Treasuries (TLT) present a tactical buy for a countertrend rally, while short-term Treasuries (SHY) are preferred for parking cash.
Ideas
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 2:00
Treasuries tactical buy into stock selloff
With yields at multi-decade highs and extreme bearishness, long-term Treasuries offer a tactical countertrend long as a hedge against a sharp stock market sell-off. However, any rally is to be sold, so this is a short-term trade, not a long-term hold.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 2:41
EM debt higher yields strong fundamentals
Emerging market debt still offers much higher yields and a more positive fundamental backdrop than developed-market bonds. EM bond markets have been making new highs while rich-country bonds make new lows, and this trend should continue.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 8:30
Energy sector XLE mispriced amid crisis
Energy stocks (XLE) have barely risen despite the worst energy crisis in history, because the market is ignoring the supply shock. This complacency means the sector is mispriced and offers a great opportunity.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 8:43
Oil underpriced amid severe supply shock
The Iran conflict caused the most severe energy supply shock ever, removing 13-15% of global oil supply (1-1.5 billion barrels lost). Inventories are collapsing, with tanks possibly running dry. Yet oil futures price only $80 for Dec 2026, far below the $120-$150+ that experts like Cornerstone and Exxon signal. This massive mispricing creates a great opportunity.

US natural gas heavily discounted demand surge
US natural gas trades at a 90% discount to international LNG prices. Huge new demand from AI data centers, rising electricity prices, massive LNG export capacity buildout, and low European gas storage will close this arbitrage. Sentiment is bearish and positioning is low, setting up a major rally.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 22:25
Expand Energy cheap natural gas breakout
Expand Energy is a cheap natural gas producer trading at about 10x earnings and 1.5x sales. It broke out and pulled back, offering an attractive entry in a dirt-cheap sector poised to benefit from surging gas demand.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 22:40
Range Resources cheap multi-year breakout
Range Resources is a natural gas producer that recently broke out to a new multi-year high, trades at just 9x earnings, and benefits from the same deeply undervalued natural gas backdrop.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 23:37
New Hope Mining coiled spring coal play
Coal prices are set to spike as Indonesia bans exports and Asia faces an LNG shortage. New Hope Mining, a large Australian coal miner, trades at only 14x depressed earnings, and its chart looks like a coiled spring ready to break higher.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 30:46
Short-term treasuries for safety optionality
Prefer short-term Treasuries as a place to park money. They roughly keep pace with inflation and provide optionality to redeploy quickly without worrying about big mark-to-market losses if long-end yields rise further.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 33:54
Financials XLF corrected uptrend intriguing
Financials have sold off hard after an initial breakout but remain in a multi-year uptrend. The correction looks like a good entry point in a sector that has been lagging the market.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 34:53
China FXI bounce after correction
Chinese stocks broke out of a long downtrend and then corrected hard. When peace eventually comes to the Middle East, China should have a very big bounce back. FXI is a good way to play it.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 36:26
Nutrien fertilizer shortage rally potential
Fertilizer stocks have been disappointing and are being abandoned, but a major fertilizer shortage is underway due to the Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Nutrien should see a strong rally once the shortage becomes apparent.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 36:49
Silver washout value play strong demand
Silver has washed out to the upper $60s area, sentiment is very negative, open interest is extremely low, and demand drivers from AI/data centers, defense, and monetary debasement remain strong. At these levels silver is a decent value play.
David Hay Founder, Haymaker Publications 40:04
US midcap IJH diversification value discount
In a dangerously concentrated US market, midcaps offer diversification away from bubble stocks. The midcap index trades at a big valuation discount (15-17x earnings) and is outperforming the S&P, making it a good overweight.
