### Comment:
i was kind of looking at offshore as a hedge against shale. Thought shale yields were not meeting expectations for. Again my ability to research is trash I admit.

### REPLY:
A hedge? That makes no sense. They both suck. I think energy will rise in the short term, but the best bets are the big integrateds like XOM, CVX, BP etc. Also, look for pure-play refiners to do well next year given inventories, and IMO2020 low sulfur regulations to up the crack spreads. Overall, oil is a pretty boring play right now and stay out of these shitty E&amp;P's, especially anything to do with offshore or shale.
