An Investor's Primer on Energy E&Ps
About a decade ago, fracking technology reached a tipping point. Tons of untapped oil became harvestable, and companies with massive swaths of money clamored to collect it. And how have those companies done for investors? Pretty terribly, unfortunately. In this week's episode of Industry Focus: Energy, host Nick Sciple and Motley Fool contributor Jason Hall explain what happened in the exploration and production industry and why investors would probably be better served focusing elsewhere. Learn what to watch out for with management incentives, how the price of oil has played in, what the last 10 years can tell us about the future of energy, and more. And, on the off chance you're still interested in E&P stocks, stay tuned for some recommendations that mitigate some of the industry's biggest risks.
