This week we are delighted to welcome Betty Jiang, Managing Director of U.S. Integrateds and E&P Equity Research at Barclays. Betty joined Barclays in 2023 after leading the U.S. ESG Research team at Credit Suisse and has more than 15 years of equity research experience, with prior roles at UBS, Illuminate Capital Group, and Bank of America. We were thrilled to hear Betty's insights on what's top of mind for investors, key themes from earnings, and a preview of Barclays' upcoming 39th Annual Energy-Power Conference, taking place next week from September 2-4 in New York. In our conversation, Betty shares why she finds energy research compelling and reflects on the interesting timing of her career, beginning in 2007 during the shale boom years. She explains how her experience in ESG and sustainability broadened her analytical skills and highlighted the complexity of the energy transition. We discuss the value of cross-sector research collaboration and Betty outlines key takeaways from Q2 earnings, including significant increases in free cash flow, shale resilience, a long-term bullish gas production outlook, and a market focus on efficiency and free cash flow discipline. We explore the intersection of gas and power demand and how factors like regional grid dynamics and AI are shaping the sector, the continuing need for baseload power, reluctance in adopting low-carbon gas, the importance of strategic positioning and capability for companies seeking exposure in power markets, and gas price and production outlook. Betty provides an insider perspective on how she navigates earnings season, noting how AI and research tools are increasingly shaping how research is consumed and analyzed, while emphasizing that AI cannot replace deep analysis essential for understanding nuance, context, and cross-company trends. We discuss the tension between short-term shareholder expectations and long-term strategic initiatives, emphasizing the importance of a clear “North Star” and consistent communication. Betty notes that energy sector investors vary widely, and while the E&P sector is generally out of favor with generalists, sustained capital discipline, cash returns, and demonstrated resilience are attracting renewed interest. We touch on the challenge of differentiation in energy companies and how thoughtful execution and innovative approaches can create competitive advantages, the key themes for Barclays' upcoming conference with over 170 companies currently registered to attend, how efficiency gains and current free cash flow could influence 2026 outlooks, and more. It was a fantastic discussion and we greatly appreciate Betty for sharing her time and insights. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that last week's COBT theme was investor “anticipation” of the Jackson Hole meeting, while this week it's investor “expectations” around NVIDIA's Q2 results/forward guidance. On the broader equity front, the S&P 500 hit another high last week but traded sideways this week ahead of NVIDIA's Q2 results. NVIDIA expectations are pretty bullish, with most expecting a beat-and-raise quarter, and the only real question at this point is whether NVIDIA's forward outlook will be bullish enough to satisfy investors. At a $4.4 trillion market cap, larger than all but three countries' GDP, NVIDIA's AI commentary and forward guidance will be a market mover. On the crude oil market front, WTI price continues to trade sideways (low-mid $60s) amid continued 2H25 global oil surplus concerns that are being somewhat offset by lack of headway in Russian/Ukrainian peace (leading to possible stiff oil sanctions). On the natural gas front, U.S. natural gas price (prompt & 12mo strip) were trading at ~$2.70/MMBtu & ~$3.50/MMBtu (YTD lows). Investor sentiment is still more bullish for natural gas E&Ps, even though prompt natural gas price has significantly underperformed prompt WTI price this year. Mike also highlighted a
Today's episode starts out on a disappointing note. My guest Rian Stone, video essayist and author of the novels Softbone: Down and Out in New Kowloon and The Dog Walker, thought he was coming on to talk to his professional-wrestling hero, “Lightning” Lou Perez. I'm sorry I had to break the kid's heart—I am not that Puerto Rican guy—but I think I made up it up to Rian. We talked about culture as a weapon (see Jackson Pollock and Martha Graham); what it's like to host a stand-up show with Bill Burr in the lineup; my good friend and Ski School alum Dean Cameron; and why Rian (and you) should see The Naked Gun reboot. Turns out, Rian and I are a rare breed: We like things. And we want to get back to making things that are fun and seeing things made that are fun too.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Michael Crow, President of Arizona State University. On Monday, we spent the day in Phoenix with Dr. Crow and his team, learning how ASU has been rethinking and reshaping the traditional university model to better reflect today's fast-paced, high-tech world. The changes we saw are significant. Michael and his team are bringing innovation and disruption to a space long associated with tradition and stability. We loved the day and were delighted to have Dr. Crow join us for COBT.Before joining ASU as President in 2002, Dr. Crow served as Executive Vice Provost at Columbia University. His book Designing the New American University (2015) outlines the philosophical ideas he shared with us. At Veriten, we think of ourselves as an energy “knowledge platform,” so it was inspiring to talk with Dr. Crow about how to redesign the world's “knowledge machines”— our universities. As you'll hear in the discussion, ASU today is the nation's largest university, with nearly 180,000 students enrolled across itheir in-person and virtual platforms.Our conversation covered a wide range of issues, opportunities, and new ideas shaping higher education. Since 2002, Dr. Crow and his team have worked to transform ASU's culture and philosophical approach, putting student learning and advancement back at the center of everything. We discuss how technology adoption has played a role, how Arizona shaped the outcome, how ASU expanded beyond state borders, and how the university's unique approach to funding has enabled growth. Most importantly, you'll hear how ASU embraces a customer-centric, partnership-driven mindset that is pushing both direction and outcomes. Many institutions talk about changing the world—at ASU, they are attempting to do so at scale. Through new teaching technologies and methods, they are exporting their approach to other universities as well. In a time when elite institutions are often criticized for stagnation, Dr. Crow's vision is a refreshing reminder of the art of the possible.Turning to markets: Mike Bradley began by noting that the 10-year bond yield (4.3%) remains in a very narrow trading range. Even with last week's hotter-than-expected PPI report, markets still overwhelmingly expect the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points at the September 17th FOMC meeting. He also highlighted that markets will be laser-focused on Chairman Powell's Jackson Hole speech this Friday, a venue often used for key policy announcements on inflation and employment—so expect some volatility later this week and into next. On equities, Mike noted that the S&P 500 hit another all-time high last week but is pulling back this week on a modest (2–3%) decline in the Tech sector. NVIDIA and a few large retailers are the last S&P names left to report Q2 results; after that, markets will likely be more driven by global events than earnings. On crude oil, WTI continues to drift lower (~$62.50/bbl) amid hopes of a Russia–Ukraine peace deal. Finally, Mike highlighted the all-stock merger between Black Hills Corp and Northwestern Energy Group, creating a $15+ billion regulated electric and natural gas utility. We hope you find today's discussion as insightful and engaging as we did. Our best to you all!
A few weeks back I had former Detroit Piston Scot Pollard on the pod and this week I have current…Piston fan Kirk Wilcox. Both men have Piston jerseys with their last names on them. To which I wonder, is it tougher as an adult to wear a personalized jersey? Kirk and I talk about Warped Tour, the ‘04 “Going to Work” Pistons (appropriating blue-collar costumes), Marc Maron's Doug Allen act, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (via Amity Shlaes's The Forgotten Man). FDR was stealing gold, killing pigs, technocrat'ing with chickens—and he still gets praise today, even though he reigned before “The Big Switch.” We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/45lNva0 Analyzing a Flat Market and the Impacts of International Events In this Monday edition of Dividend Cafe, the host discusses the relatively stagnant state of the DOW, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, attributing this to ongoing events such as the meeting between President Trump, European leaders, and Ukrainian President Zelensky, and the upcoming Jackson Hole meeting with Chairman Powell. The episode delves into metrics like the earning yields and price-to-book ratios of the S&P 500, highlighting historically low real earnings yield due to high stock prices despite high earnings and moderate inflation expectations. David also explores foreign investments in U.S. stocks, particularly a record $163 billion purchase in June, insights into tariff impacts and court rulings related to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the uncertainty surrounding upcoming Fed rate cuts. On the energy front, updates include WTI closing at $62.63 and midstream energy sector trends discussed at a recent Las Vegas conference. The episode concludes with an overview of the supply-side effects of monetary and fiscal policy, touching upon tariff implications and monetary supply growth. 00:00 Introduction and Market Overview 01:38 Inflation Insights and Market Metrics 03:35 Valuation Indicators and Market Analysis 05:33 Foreign Investments and Geopolitical Updates 07:30 Tariffs and Legal Challenges 11:07 Economic Indicators and Sector Performance 13:21 Energy Sector Deep Dive 15:52 Monetary Policy and Supply Side Economics 17:51 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
S&P futures slightly down, coming after solid gains last week that saw several fresh record highs. Treasuries are a bit firmer across the curve. Yields are down after bear steepening move last week. Dollar index up, Gold up. Bitcoin futures down, WTI crude up. Geopolitics remains the biggest focus over the weekend after Friday's summit between Trump and Putin ended with no commitment for Russia to end the Ukraine war. European leaders including Ukraine's Zelenskiy are set to meet Trump in Washington today, while White House officials confirmed the US would offer Ukraine a secure guarantee. Companies Mentioned: Saudi Aramco, Petrobras, Tesla
We were honored this week to welcome Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Jack Balagia for a Special Edition COBT. Senator Hutchison is a Founding Member of the KBH Energy Center at the University of Texas, with a distinguished career spanning both public and private sectors, from bank executive to U.S. Senator to most recently U.S. Ambassador to NATO. Jack served as Vice President and General Counsel of ExxonMobil for nearly two decades before joining the University of Texas School of Law faculty. He was appointed as Executive Director of the KBH Energy Center in 2024. We were thrilled to visit with Senator Hutchison and Jack about the KBH Energy Center's upcoming Symposium in September and also hear their unique perspectives ahead of Friday's significant meeting between President Trump and President Putin. This year's KBH Energy Center Symposium will focus on the future of energy innovation, investment, and security (agenda details linked here). Taking place Friday, September 12 in Austin, the program will cover global energy outlooks, the growing role of nuclear and AI, energy's ties to national security, data infrastructure demands, capital markets, and media coverage. In our conversation, we explore the geopolitical backdrop of the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, the hope for a Ukraine ceasefire, and the implications for future negotiations involving President Zelensky and the EU. We discuss shifts in President Trump's stance on Putin since the start of his second term, as well as the Symposium's keynote from ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods, the event's audience profile and impact, and other notable speakers including Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman Rob Kaplan and investor Jim Breyer. We touch on the uniqueness of the Energy Studies Minor Program at the University of Texas (details linked here), the Center's collaboration with more than 30 energy-affiliated organizations on campus, NATO unity under Trump, changing European attitudes on defense burden-sharing with the U.S., and European relief at U.S. military action to deter Iran nuclear weapon capability. Senator Hutchison shares her perspective on how Putin may have overplayed his hand by not striking an early deal with Trump, the potential for stronger measures against Russia, prospects for negotiation, potential outcomes from the Alaska meeting, the symbolism of its location, and more. As you'll hear, the Symposium is nearing capacity but there is still room to attend. Registration details can be found linked here. We are excited about this year's gathering and greatly appreciate Senator Hutchison and Jack for joining us. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that bond and equity markets were focused on the July PPI report, hoping it would match Tuesday's in-line CPI print and reinforce expectations for an interest rate cut at the September 17th FOMC Meeting. Markets were looking for a PPI print of 0.2%, but instead it came in at 0.9%, the highest monthly reading since July 2022, which pushed the ten-year bond yield up by 5bps (~4.28%). This PPI increase was the first sign since tariffs were implemented that companies were passing through tariff increases and this large PPI print temporarily reduced the odds for a September interest rate cut (especially a 50bp cut) and also looks to have created a short-term headwind for equity markets. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has been drifting lower for the past two weeks, mostly due to global oil supply surplus concerns, which were reinforced this week by bearish 2026 oil macro r

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What's it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba's big business of medical slavery? Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're in Cuba, please let me know. Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment. Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.

Brent and WTI volatility have reached their lowest levels since April, shifting from a bullish to a bearish put bias. As we look ahead to September, we expect a significant increase in volatility, driven by a convergence of both bullish and bearish factors that are set to take place during that month. Notably, Trump's 50-day ultimatum to Russia is set to expire on September 2, just a day before a new European price cap on Russian crude comes into effect on September 3. Additionally, snapback provisions on Iran could be triggered as early as September 1. Meanwhile, 600 kbd of additional summer demand in the Middle East will dissipate in September at exactly the same time as 4-5 mbd of global refining capacity shuts for fall maintenance.

Today we were thrilled to welcome Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta. Premier Smith was elected in October 2022 and previously served as MLA for Highwood and as Leader of the Official Opposition in Alberta's Legislative Assembly. Most recently, she was President of the Alberta Enterprise Group. Before re-entering politics, Premier Smith spent several years as a talk radio host and has a diverse background spanning media, public policy, and business. As Premier, she has prioritized economic growth, energy development, and the defense of provincial jurisdiction. It was our honor to host the Premier for an insightful conversation on recent developments in Alberta and across Canada, the future of Canadian energy, and the evolving U.S.-Canada energy partnership. In our conversation, we explore Canada's historical energy policy challenges, including tensions between federal and provincial jurisdiction over natural resources, and Alberta's vast oil and gas endowment. Premier Smith discusses shifting federal attitudes and growing recognition that national energy policy needs rebalancing and also outlines Alberta's recent legislation aimed at streamlining energy project approvals and restoring international investment confidence. We discuss the need for durable, cross-party support to ensure long-term infrastructure investment, Alberta's experience with Keystone XL, the risks posed by sudden policy reversal, and the recent surge in proposals for AI datacenters in Alberta. Premier Smith shares her perspective on the two sides of Prime Minister Carney (the pragmatic banker versus the GFANZ advocate), the history and impact of international campaigns to defund Canada's oil sands, and Alberta's “all of the above” approach to energy abundance. We examine Canada's lagging economic growth relative to other developed countries, the hope for a shift back to a growth-oriented mindset toward energy development, and the potential for U.S.-Canada pipeline collaboration, particularly if projects are structured to reduce political risk by involving U.S. companies. We cover Canada's LNG development, including the first shipment from Kitimat and growing momentum in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, natural gas's long-term role as both a transition and destination fuel, the importance of integrating with the U.S. pipeline network, the need to resolve U.S.-Canada tariff disputes to unlock investment and advance cross-border energy partnerships, and more. As mentioned, the letter from Canadian energy CEOs to the Prime Minister, “Build Canada Now: An Urgent Plan to Strengthen Economic Sovereignty,” is linked here. Premier Smith's list of nine priorities for Alberta presented to the Prime Minister linked here. We greatly enjoyed the discussion and appreciate Premier Smith for joining. Mike Bradley kicked off the show with commentary on U.S. markets, noting that both bond and equity markets were being negatively impacted by the rise in the 30-year bond yield above 5%. Despite June CPI printing slightly below expectations, U.S. bond yields moved higher on Tuesday. He added that June PPI, set to be reported on Wednesday, could pave the way for a rate cut at the September FOMC meeting if it too prints below expectations. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has pulled back ~$2/bbl (to $66.50/bbl) this week. Oil traders were hopeful that President Trump would impose new sanctions on Russian oil (as high as 500%), but he instead proposed a 50-day wait period before imposing a 100% sanction increase. Turning to energy equities, he highlighted that SLB will kick off Oil Services Q2 reporting on Friday, with the other Big 3 OFS names and pressure pumpers reporting

Earlier this year, my friend Matt Himes (managing editor of The Blaze's Align) lost his home in the California fires, but he didn't lose his sense of humor or his willingness to try a lot of things he's bad at. It was great catching up with Matt on life after the fire, what it's like to live out a George Carlin bit, “String Theory,” and going into the unknown of rebuilding.

In addition to producing sketch comedy like Comedy Is Murder, performing stand-up across the country, and writing for The Blaze's Align, Lou is on the advisory board of Heresy Press, a FAIR-in-the-arts fellow, and host of the live debate series The Wrong Take and The Lou Perez Podcast (which is part of the Lions of Liberty Podcast Network). How'd Lou start out? He began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where he was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. Lou was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with Lorne Michaels's Broadway Video; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. Lou hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Punching Up Comedy at Freedom Fest, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. Lou taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute. Lou worked with The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression as Communications Manager and later as a producer and consultant. Their video "Taking a Knee in Sports? For what?" was broadcast during a USC vs. Notre Dame football game and was a SILVER ADDY® WINNER at the American Advertising Awards. Lou is also a brand ambassador for XX-XY Athletics. Hear about the roots of The Kids, Scott's bout with censorship at Amazon, and Mouth Congress's new album, Valley of Song, which includes the tracks “Honk,” written in solidarity with the Canadian trucker convoy protests, as well as the ballad, “Booker,” about a guy who figures out how to make a really good living off of a lazy prostitute.
