The Opportunity
Why now.
What's changed in Dan's mind about the energy markets.
What's changed in Dan's mind about the energy markets.
Eight months ago I walked away from energy markets. Forty-five years was enough. I'd said what I had to say, made my calls, written the columns, books and done the webinars for years. I really did not see a reason to continue — fossil fuels were flat, renewables overhyped by AI plays that carried outsized valuations I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. So I walked away.
What has happened in global energy markets since February 2026 is, in my view, not merely a temporary disruption. It is a restructuring — of global supply and infrastructure. The scale and speed of it has been, frankly, breathtaking. And the market's response has been, in several important places, completely wrong.
I wasn't the only one who saw it.
A sophisticated energy investor — someone with decades in this space and real capital behind his convictions — called me. Not to ask my opinion; he knows what I think. He'd been talking to the energy CEOs and analysts in his current sphere, and what they were all seeing pointed in the same direction. What he wanted was a trader to put those convictions into investment motion. I hadn't asked for this. But I'll admit I was instantly intrigued, and ultimately I couldn't say no.
Because here's the truth: I'm a trader at heart. Always have been. And what's sitting in front of us right now — the mispricings, the structural shifts, the things the market is actively getting wrong — is as compelling as anything I've seen in four decades of trading energy markets. Staying retired in the middle of it would have been nearly impossible to do.
So the book is about to go live.
And that's the product. Not analysis. Not price targets. Not a newsletter telling you levels “around which” to consider positioning. The actual trades — entries, sizing, the derivative structures, the equity plays — disclosed to subscribers in as close to real time as the regulatory framework allows. You'll see what we're doing, when we're doing it, and why.
If you know my work, you know I wouldn't come back for something small.
Best,
Matrix Energy Partners is premium-only. You'll have near-real-time visibility into the actual allocations I'm making in a real managed energy portfolio, with my full rationale for every move. Trade alerts go out as soon as regulations permit following execution. Longer strategic letters — on outlook, positioning, and macro energy themes — appear at least quarterly, and more often when conditions warrant. And you keep direct access to me when you have a question.
The price is $2,500 a year, annual commitment only. That's intentional. I want readers who are serious about this — capital with a long-term, high-alpha horizon, not casual followers looking for a hot tip. If you know me, you know that's what I'm about.
