Diamondback Energy Inc. (FANG)
Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD)
Plug Power (PLUG)
Williams Companies (WMB)
REASON: The world is changing the way energy is produced, and changes in consumption patterns related to the pandemic have only accelerated the changes. Production with less carbon and no carbon is increasing, so look for companies that can gain from their contributions to California's new electric vehicle mandate. In addition, I looked at energy stocks that offer above-average dividends to help boost other sectors in my portfolio and may be good buys with today's discounts, but they need a longer lead to show returns at more normal levels.
