Energy.
History:
The energy industry as a whole has been going on for many centuries. Humans as a whole have been trying to collect, and maintain energy to accomplish the various tasks that make up our lives since there have been humans. Early examples of this are items such as the Baghdad Battery which is a simple cylinder filled with water containing an iron rod in the middle. The rod would collect a small amount of static electricity from the air, and hold it in the water as a battery. The amount of energy the battery would hold is very small less than a watch battery by today's standards. We then moved on to other forms of energy that could help us to improve our lives such as the burning of wood to release energy in the form of heat. The heat would be used to warm people's homes, and bodies. The heat would eventually be used to boil large amounts of water that would in turn create steam. The steam would then turn large turbines inside of power factories that were attached to generators allowing only purified water in the form of steam to be escaping. After wood, we moved to coal because of the energy density of coal, and how clean it would burn in comparison to wood. Since coal has been started to be used more than 100 years ago in energy production it has maintained a top place on the energy production board of greater than 65% of all energy created is created by the use of coal. Other petroleum-based products dominate the lion's share of the energy industry. Renewable energy makes up less than 15% of the total energy production and is plagued with issues.
Solar panels can only produce energy when they have light, and the solar receptors in the panels break down over time decreasing the efficiency of each panel eventually causing them to be replaced at a greater cost than they originally cost because inflation of currency is a real thing. Windmills have problems of only being able to run on certain days, and only producing energy when the wind is blowing. To further exacerbate the problems of windmill power generation when they are placed at sea they have a problem with barnacles growing on them rotting away the base structures that hold them up causing very costly maintenance to be required. The renewable energy sector is thus far non-sustainable without direct injection of government cash in the form of subsidies.
Description of Fund:
The Energy Segment is composed of the largest energy companies in the industry today. Included in our Energy Segment we have many of the leaders in the energy industry. Through the volatility that has been in the year 2021, we have still experienced well above benchmark returns on investments. A large portion of this can be directly attributed to this segment of Stegosaur Investments, Inc.
It was through the combination of both long and short strategies used on the Energy Segment that produced a large portion of Stegosaur Investments, Inc.'s profit for the year ending 2021.
Many funds fall short because they are invested in solely oil or electricity. Stegosaur Investments Energy Segment is designed to be invested in all energy industries. These industries include but are not limited to:
The Oil industry. We are currently operating a portion of the fund that is a vertically integrated global oil industry giant through the ownership of equities of the various companies that make up the industry as a whole.
We have invested in the fully integrated companies that made up the initial Standard Oil Trust breakup that was done through the Sherman-Antitrust Act. When trying to be the best, you have to beat the best.
We have expanded the mid-stream section to also include large drug companies. The reason is that Sulpher is a key ingredient in some medications. The large drug companies do not just buy a little bit of Sulpher at a time, they purchase several hundred train cars at a time. Though large purchases like these are costs to the drug companies and revenues to the oil companies we are gaining money when one goes down the other goes up and is not directly tied to one solid revenue stream but many.
Finally; we have the completed integrated Energy Segment that operates as an oil company itself. The way it does this is by investing in the market leaders that continue to return year-over-year always growing. Being invested in several different companies allows us to spread out the risk that is associated with investing across many different companies that represent the energy industry as a whole.
This is a part of our diversification strategy for the fund. There are large emerging markets of electricity, but not all companies are safe bets. Let our team of analysts crunch the numbers, and find the stars from the dogs.
