Recording Date 2-25-2026. He highlights dividend-paying plays like Woodside Energy, GCC commodity exposure, and PIMCO's MINT ETF for stability, then pivots to what he sees as a structurally undervalued energy sector. Hartel names top picks across producers and drillers, emphasizing balance sheets, free cash flow, share buybacks, and rising dividends. He argues that with oil near $70, many companies can aggressively repurchase shares while rewarding shareholders, positioning energy as a long-term core holding despite volatility.
The discussion then shifts to asymmetric opportunities, including Alphamin (AFM), a major tin producer operating the high-grade Bisie mine in the Congo, supplying roughly 6.5% of global tin. With shares up 13% year-to-date, an 8% dividend, a P/E of 11, no debt, and tin prices up 25% YTD, Hartel sees strong fundamentals supported by improving grades and Abu Dhabi Mining Company's 56% stake acquisition in June 2025. He also outlines a bold options strategy on Take-Two ahead of the Grand Theft Auto 6 release, framing it as a potential multi-bagger driven by loyal customers and massive projected sales.
