One of President-elect Donald Trump’s announcements was his administration’s focus on energy dominance, intended to positively impact the energy sector. Oil production isn't a matter of turning on (or off) a tap. And with oil production already at all-time highs, it'll be interesting to see how much more supply the new administration can help create, and over what period. Regardless, I doubt output will be cut anytime soon.
This makes the energy sector a viable candidate for long-term portfolio holders—and what better way to capture a sector’s growth than by investing in its biggest, most generous players - and collect an income doing so.
