On Thursday's show: Houston city officials are facing a looming budget crisis and will need to slash spending or dramatically raise revenue over the next year following a Texas Supreme Court decision on the city's infrastructure spending.

Today we were delighted to host Matt Parker, Managing Director and Head of Strategy, alongside Alex Melvin, Commodity Risk Analyst, with Mobius Risk Group for an extensive discussion on commodity and power markets, as well as volatility and risk management in particular. Matt joined Mobius in 2018 and oversees fundamental analytics, decision strategies, financial trading, and physical marketing teams. Alex is the author of Mobius' Intel Briefs and Energy Shots research and brings prior experience in data analysis and technical writing. Mobius Risk Group is a risk advisory firm offering market guidance to producers, consumers, and capital market participants, influencing transactions totaling over $100B across more than 50 commodities annually. We were thrilled to visit with Matt and Alex. The catalyst to our discussion stems from a report Mobius recently released titled “Eclipse Power Prices Hit $471/MWh: Tracking the Texas grid during the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse” (linked here). Matt and Alex first share background on the Mobius team and their research, natural gas market volatility and its impact on hedging strategies for producers and consumers, and the role of speculators in commodity markets and the influence on pricing dynamics. We explore factors influencing the growth of LNG markets and its implications for energy markets, the challenges and opportunities in renewable energy variability and its impact on grid stability, and regional energy market dynamics, including the reluctance to build pipelines and storage facilities on the West and East Coasts of the US. We discuss key themes from the Eclipse report including the inspiration behind writing the report, storage dynamics and the impact of gas prices on production, the potential shift towards LNG as a solution to market imbalances, the effectiveness of market mechanisms versus centralized control in addressing energy challenges, how consumers are adapting to increased volatility in gas prices, efforts by gas producers to manage volatility in prices and production decisions, the potential for increased gas exports to Mexico, risk management strategy differences between public and private companies, and much more. Thanks to Matt and Alex for joining us today! Mike Bradley started the show by highlighting this week's spike in the 10-year government bond yield to ~4.65%, mostly due to a hot Retail Sales report on Monday. He noted the next big economic report will be Initial Jobless Claims on Thursday, and if that report prints hotter than expected, odds for a rate cut (anytime soon) would appear very low. On the commodity front, Brent (~$90/bbl) & WTI (~$85/bbl) prices barely budged on the recent Iranian/Israeli conflict, mostly because it was pretty well announced, and to a certain degree already dialed into oil prices. A 2H'24 global oil S/D deficit could position OPEC to begin adding back barrels into the market, potentially as early as June. On the broader equity market front, equities continue to take their cue from interest rate volatility, potential additional Mideast conflict, and Q1 EPS results. Q1 earnings season has begun (with mixed results) and it's important, given lofty valuations, that S&P companies deliver solid Q1 results and guidance. He ended by flagging that Q1 energy results begin this week with Kinder Morgan and Liberty Energy reporting on Wednesday and SLB on Friday. Liberty Energy should provide investors with an early glimpse of U.S. pressure pumping dynamics while the SLB call should be predominately focused on international and offshore growth. Todd Scruggs emphasized recent analysis from Mobius regarding global coal generation, particularly in China, India, and Indonesia, and compared it to renewable energy development in the US. Globally, approximately 50 GW of coal capacity was added, while the US saw an addition of around 30

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 2 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) These Infrastructure Stocks Pay Great Dividends In these volatile markets, many ESG stock analysts are focused on dividend yields. So, here's the first of two articles with this theme. This one is titled 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy in March by Daniel Foelber, Scott Levine, and Lee Samaha. Found on fool.com. Here are some quotes by the authors on each of their picks. Note the last one, Kinder Morgan might be a controversial pick for some ESG-focused investors. Quote... “Here's why all three dividend stocks are worth considering now. 1. Scott Levine recommends Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP) …There are various infrastructure stocks that investors can choose from to help construct a better portfolio (and)… Fortunately, there's Brookfield Infrastructure and its 4.5% forward dividend yield. With a presence that stretches across five continents, Brookfield Infrastructure operates a massive portfolio of infrastructure assets, including data, utilities, midstream, and transportation. The allure of this business model for income investors is that these assets provide Brookfield Infrastructure with steady and increasing cash flows. Over the past 10 years… Brookfield Infrastructure has grown its funds from operations at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. … Since 2012, when it returned $0.60 per unit to investors, Brookfield Infrastructure has increased its distribution at a CAGR of 9%... During a recent investor presentation, management reaffirmed its ongoing target of increasing its distribution 5% to 9% annually. 2. Lee Samaha picks Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) … High energy and mining commodity prices are good news for Caterpillar's mining and oil and gas equipment. Meanwhile, the residential market accounts for only 25% of Caterpillar's construction machinery sales… Caterpillar has heavy exposure to infrastructure spending, and its construction equipment is also used in the energy industry… Caterpillar's resource industries segment isn't just about mining equipment; the segment encompasses machinery for the aggregates used in road building and infrastructure projects… In addition, management is growing Caterpillar's services sales as a share of its revenue…  Management acknowledges the cyclicality in its earnings and aims for $4 billion to $8 billion in machinery energy and transportation free cash flow. The low end of the target is significantly more than needed to pay the current cash dividend of $2.4 billion… and Caterpillar looks able to increase its dividend for many years to come. 3. Daniel Foelber likes Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) … the first thing that stands out is the high dividend yield of 6.4%... Over the past 10 years, Kinder Morgan has been a market-underperforming stock and cut its dividend by 75% in 2015 in response to an oil and gas downturn. As glaring as these two red flags are, the company is far different today… The Kinder Morgan of today generates gobs of free cash flow and has an incredibly healthy balance sheet that isn't overly dependent on debt. The company makes money by building infrastructure its customers use to transport and store natural gas, oil, carbon dioxide, and more.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) These Infrastructure Stocks Pay Great Dividends Now this second article focusing on dividends is from the UK with their stock picks having listings on the London Stock Exchange. It's titled Investors should buy these dividend stocks for the green revolution! It's by Dr. James Fox and found on uk.finance.yahoo.com. Now some quotes by Dr. Fox. He says… “I've become increasingly keen on three renewable trusts with strong yields and I've actually bought all of them. Trust Focus Dividend yield NextEnergy Solar (LSE: NESF) A solar-focused trust. Majority of assets in the UK 6.5% The Renewables Infrastructure Group (LSE: TRIG) Diverse portfolio of renewables with assets across Europe, including UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden 5.25% Greencoat UK Wind (LSE: UKW) Focuses on UK wind farms, from shares in large farms to complete ownership of smaller farms 4.8% (This) post… appeared first on The Motley Fool UK site.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 10 solar companies and what they do Now back to the solar sector with this article titled Top 10 solar companies and what they do by Mariam Ahmad and seen on energydigital.com.

BIO: Brian Feroldi is a financial educator, YouTuber, and author. His career mission statement is “to demystify finance.”STORY: Brian invested in an oil pipeline company with take-or-pay contracts. This meant that the company would get paid either way if the price of oil or natural gas went up or down. Prices went down and despite the contract, the pipeline's stock went down because its customers couldn't afford to pay. Brian lost 70% of his entire portfolio.LEARNING: Don't use options as an investment strategy. Never let one company become your largest position. Be careful about trying to leverage beyond your capability. “When my research makes me unbelievably bullish about something, that probably means I'm blind to some risk.”Brian Feroldi Guest profileBrian Feroldi is a financial educator, YouTuber, and author. His career mission statement is “to demystify finance.” He loves to help other people do better with their money, especially their investments. He has written more than 3,000 articles on stocks, investing, and personal finance for the Motley Fool.Worst investment everBrian invested in a company in 2013, about nine years into his investing journey. Though not an expert, he completely understood business fundamentals. He had a framework for what kind of companies he was going after. The company Brian invested in was Kinder Morgan, an oil pipeline company. That means they don't go out and find the oil but own and operate pipelines that move oil and natural gas from the extraction point to a processing plant. The company then takes a fee for moving the oil.What really attracted Brian to that business model was that it had take-or-pay contracts in place. Meaning that if the price of oil or natural gas went up or down, Kinder Morgan would get paid either way.In theory, this company had locked in guaranteed recurring revenue. In addition, it was run by its founder, Richard Kinder, who owned tons of stock and continually bought more. The company had a 4% dividend yield at the time, plus a realistic growth plan for them to expand that dividend by about 10% per year. So from the outside, it looked like a very low-risk company that could earn Brian a high dividend yield.The more Brian studied the company, the more bullish he became on its potential. So over time, he would add to the stock because he thought it was attractive. Within no time, Kinder Morgan became Brian's number one position.At the time, Brian was learning about options and how they work. He set up a synthetic long on Kinder Morgan. Synthetic long is when you sell a long-dated put, which brings in cash today, and you use that cash to buy a long-dated call option. Essentially, you get to benefit from the upside. So if that stock goes up, you get paid for that stock to go up ahead of time. So the returns to the investor are enormous on a percentage basis. The downside to a synthetic long is if the stock price falls, you're on the hook for pure leverage because you don't own the shares. Brian's confidence level in this thing was sky-high because it looked so bulletproof. After he set up this position, the oil and natural gas prices suddenly tanked by more than 50%. There was simply an oversupply on the market.What confused Brian at the time was that Kinder Morgan's stock was going down a lot during this downturn. The company had take-or-pay contracts in place, and it got paid no matter the energy price, so...

I'm taking August off to work on some projects. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 Now it seems that most analysts' ESG recommendations in the media continue to focus on ESG energy stocks and funds. So, I have several articles with that view. The first one is titled Top Alternative Energy Stocks for Q3 2022. It's by Nathan Reiff. Found at investorpedia.com. Now some quotes. “Here are the top three alternative energy stocks with the best value, the fastest growth, and the most momentum… 1) Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ) Is a China-based solar energy company that manufactures polysilicon for sale to manufacturers of solar cells and modules. The company also manufactures photovoltaic wafers. Daqo reported earnings for Q1 2022 on April 21. Net income attributable to shareholders surged by over sixfold while revenues quintupled year-over-year (YOY). This performance was driven in part by a jump in polysilicon sales volume. 2) Excelerate Energy Inc. (EE) Is a liquified natural gas (LNG) company. It offers regasified natural gas delivery, storage, and other related services. It has operations around the globe. On May 20, the company reported that it had signed a 10-year contract with a subsidiary of Gasgrid Finland Oy to charter a floating storage and regasification vessel. The vessel will serve Finland and the Baltic region with liquefied natural gas and related services. 3) Iberdrola SA (IBDRY) Is a Spain-based multinational electric utility company. The company engages in the generation, distribution, and trading of electricity. It specializes in clean energy, including onshore and offshore wind, and solar energy.” End quotes. My comment about Daqo. It's still being accused of using forced labor. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 Now, here's the second article in this ESG energy stocks theme titled Ameresco: Alternative Energy's Best Near-Term Capital Gain Prospect. By Peter F. Way on seekingalpha.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Way's blog. “A 3-5 month prospect from here of Ameresco share prices could reasonably range from a $46.00 low to $58.80 high from its present price of $47.30, a +24.3% gain. From Yahoo Finance. Quote. ‘Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC) (is) a clean technology integrator, provides a portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy supply solutions in the United States, Canada, and internationally. It offers energy efficiency, infrastructure upgrades, energy security and resilience, asset sustainability, and renewable energy solutions for businesses and organizations… In addition, the company sells photovoltaic (PV) solar energy products and systems, as well as provides consulting and enterprise energy management services; and owns and operates a wind power project located in Ireland… As of December 31, 2021, the company owned and operated 147 small-scale renewable energy plants and solar PV installations.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 And a third article in the ESG energy stock space titled Alternative Energy Stock Quietly Having a Great Year. By Schaeffer's Digital Content Team on schaeffersresearch.com. This is some of what the team has to say. “Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) Is a global energy technology company and a supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems. The company's semiconductor-based microinverter system converts energy at the individual solar module level and brings a system-based high-technology approach to solar energy generation, storage, control, and management. The company has shipped more than 45 million microinverters, and over 2.0 million Enphase-based systems have been deployed in more than 135 countries… On the charts, ENPH is up roughly 17% in 2022… Enphase Energy stock offers a rich valuation at a price-earnings ratio of 55.87 and a price-sales ratio of 18.24. Nonetheless, the company has maintained high and consistent growth rate over multiple years, which has helped the market justify the company's inflated valuation… Enphase Energy is also expected to grow its revenues and earnings 31.7% and 22.9%, respectively, for fiscal 2023.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 And a fourth article in this ESG energy stocks vein is titled 3 Most Undervalued Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy. By Will Ashworth on InvestorPlace.com. Among Mr. Ashworth's comments are the following. “1) Brookfield Renewable Corporation (NYSE:BEPC) Was created so that investors could invest in its renewable power assets through a corporation rather than a limited partnership… The company's June 2022 annual shareholder's meeting highlighted that Brookfield Renewable Corporation generated $934 million in funds from operations (FFO) in 2021, 10% higher than a year earlier… In the five years between 2021 and 2026, it expects to grow funds from operations by 10% or more annually… For those who want a more diversified portfolio, you can own Brookfield Renewable Corporation indirectly through Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM), which owns 26% of the company. Brookfield Asset Management stock is down 25% year-to-date.   You won't go wrong owning Brookfield Asset Management over the long haul.    2) NextEra Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NEP) Is a growth-oriented limited partnership created by its parent company, NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE), in June 2014. It owns wind and solar projects, natural gas, and infrastructure assets in the U.S… It (seeks) to grow LP distributions by 12% to 15% per year between 2019 and 2024. So far, it's increased them by approximately 15% per year… Its annualized distributions since its IPO have increased by 290%, from 75 cents to $2.93 at the end of 2021.   Down 9.4% YTD, I wouldn't say that NextEra Energy Partners LP is a screaming buy, but it's not overpriced either. 3) Ameresco (NYSE:AMRC) (Yes again!) Is (in) the business of owning renewable assets and helping others implement clean energy solutions for their businesses… In 22 short years, Ameresco's completed more than $11 billion in energy solution projects for more than 8,000 customers worldwide. In addition, it owns 353 million watts of energy (MWe) assets for solar, landfill gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), and battery storage… Ameresco has been able to increase its revenues since 2017 by more than 21% annually, from $717 million in 2017 to an estimated $1.87 billion in 2022. Over the same period, the company has grown its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by 27.1% annually.   With Ameresco stock down more than 46% YTD, it's trading at the same levels it did in December 2020, 18 months ago. Under $40 would be a perfect entry point. ” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 In this next article Brookfield Renewable Corporation and NextEra Energy Partners LP are again recommended. It's titled 2 Unstoppable Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy for the Next Decade. By Matthew DiLallo. On fool.com. “1) Brookfield Renewable (BEPC) Brookfield Renewable operates a globally diversified portfolio of renewable energy and energy transition assets. It currently generates 21 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy… Its assets produce steady cash flows backed by long-term power purchase agreements… Brookfield anticipates that mergers and acquisitions will add up to 9% per share to its bottom line each year. The company recently raised a record $15 billion for an energy transition fund to help companies decarbonize their operations. That's giving it additional capital to complete deals, positioning it to further capitalize on the decarbonization megatrend.  2) NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) NextEra Energy operates Florida Power & Light (FPL), a leading electric utility in the state, and NextEra Energy Resources, a large-scale clean energy infrastructure business… The energy resources unit operates natural gas pipelines, renewable energy generating facilities, battery storage operations, and electricity transmission lines that generate steady cash flow backed by long-term fee-based contracts. The company… recently unveiled its Real Zero strategy to eliminate its carbon emissions by 2045. Florida Power & Light is undertaking the largest solar energy expansion in the nation, which it's supplementing with large-scale battery storage deployment. It also aims to replace natural gas in its power plants with green hydrogen and renewable natural gas… Management expects profits to grow by more than 10% this year. It then foresees them expanding at the high end of its 6% to 8% target range through at least 2025. That should give the utility the funds to grow its 2.1%-yielding dividend by at least 10% annually through 2024.” End quotes. Incidentally, Florida Power & Light is just accused of unethical competitive behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Solar Panel Companies 2022 Finally, this article is not a stock recommendation but rather an interesting assessment of solar panel makers available in the US. It's titled Top Solar Panel Companies 2022 and by Lisa Iscrupe on saveonenergy.com. Here is some of what Ms. Iscrupe and fellow researchers say. Quote. “The solar industry is a combination of many business sectors. From solar installers to dealers to solar panel manufacturers, navigating your solar energy journey can take time. When you are researching solar panels for your home, one place that's good to start is with the solar panel company or manufacturer that you want. Based on our research, here's our top 10 solar panel companies: Canadian Solar Inc. Jinko Solar SunPower CertainTeed LG Tesla First Solar Inc. Lumos Hanwha REC Solar End quotes. There's much more information on their site. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now Now we turn from ESG energy stocks to infrastructure with an article titled 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now. It's by Daniel Foelber, Scott Levine, and Lee Samaha. Again on fool.com. Now one of the recommendations is Kinder Morgan, an oil-gas pipeline company. Hence, I'm leaving it out. “1) Scott Levine picks Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) (BIP) … Currently offers an enticing forward dividend yield of 3.8%. With global operations in North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, Brookfield Infrastructure has a worldwide presence in a variety of infrastructure projects including (but not limited to) natural gas pipelines and storage, data centers, toll roads, and electricity transmission… investors should be relieved to learn that 90% of the company's debt is a fixed rate… Should the company return $2.16 to unitholders in 2022 as it plans, it will represent an approximate 10% compound annual growth rate for its distribution since 2009. Looking ahead, management has targeted continued annual distribution growth of 5% to 9%. 2) Lee Samaha recommends Hubbell (HUBB) There aren't many industrial companies whose earnings are trending ahead of initial expectations going into 2022, but Hubbell is one of them. Management began 2022 forecasting organic sales growth of 8%-10% and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $8.75–$9.25 only to raise it to 11%-13% and $9-$9.40 on the first-quarter earnings call in late April… The company makes electrical equipment, meters, connection products, and lighting fixtures. About 56% of its sales go to the utility market (mainly transmission and distribution), with 44% to electrical solutions (electrical products, connection, and bonding). There's a need to replace the infrastructure of an aging U.S. electrical grid… No company will be truly safe from a recession, but Hubbell stands to do relatively well. Throw in a 2.3% dividend yield, and the stock is attractive for investors.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order, links on this podcast's webpage 1) Title This Renewable-Energy Juggernaut Continues to Produce Powerful Results on fool.com.

In this episode, Dani tells us how we can and must change our (US) society.They recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's books, "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" and "Not 'A Nation of Immigrants': Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion" for a comprehensive history of the united states and its founding rooted in the settler-colonialist mindset. They'd also recommend watching HBO's Exterminate all the Brutes for a similar history lesson that does not sugarcoat genocide and is very graphic (so sit this one out if you're not up for that).Dani also recommend checking out the Tiny House Warrior's new comic titled, "The Fight Against the Transmountain Pipeline" for some background and history of TMX, its Indigenous-led resistance, and the oppression the Warriors face every Day. You can donate the the THW's legal defense fund on their website as well!For a glimpse into Dani's friendships, check out their other podcast, Better When Awkward, co-hosted by their childhood best friend, Jasmine!Go to UnderstandingKindness.com for transcripts, blog entries, and links to the social media accounts!Follow the podcast on instagram, facebook, or twitter for more recommendations & posts when a new episode comes out!To contact Dani, email UnderstandingKindness@protonmail.com or send them a DM on social media!To financially support Dani & the show, visit the podcast's patreon or give a one-time or recurring donation on paypal! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

When Brenden Marquardt acquired his first furniture brand, he thought that all he had to do was put it up on the internet and then people would start buying it. As it turned out it was a lot more complicated than that. Convincing people to come to your website and convert them into customers is a difficult process. Yet everything about your site - from the design, to how you answer your customer's questions - should have that process in mind at all times. That's where Conversion Rate Optimization comes in. Let us hear from Brenden Marquardt, Co-Founder of Homestead Brand, as he shares his journey from working in the finance world to starting his own e-commerce business selling furniture, and how focusing on Conversion Rate Optimization helped them achieve a 3,916% growth rate over the past three years. Top Takeaways: 02:53 How the book, The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris changed his mentality 04:59 How he got into selling furniture 08:15 The first thing you should focus on if you're having trouble making sales 09:27 One of the key things about being a CEO 12:08 What's a good rate to pay for a Conversion Rate Optimization expert? 14:21 How they structured their first acquisition 20:38 Why they're not using influencers to push their product on social media 21:15 How Homestead Brand deals with their “cheaper” competition 26:23 What was his company's hockey stick moment? 30:35 One of the most exciting things about being a business owner 31:16 Brenden's philosophy about work To get in touch with Brenden Marquardt, visit www.homestead-brands.com About the guest: Brenden Marquardt worked as an investment analyst for Merrill-Lynch and Rice University's $6B endowment fund. He's also worked as a Business Development Manager for Kinder Morgan. In 2014, He and his brother Kyle, met a lady who had a very cool design for a Murphy bed. It was affordable and can be assembled easily, but the lady was having a hard time with production, and she really wanted more time for herself. That's when they decided to acquire the business from her. From there, they studied how to scale the business, and worked on putting the right structures in place to ensure its growth. Today, Brenden is the Co-Founder of Homestead Brands. They acquire, invest, and grow multi-functional furniture brands and include them into their growing family of e-commerce businesses.
