Former 'Big Short' investor Danny Moses is betting big on undervalued energy stocks like ExxonMobil and Diamondback Energy, citing improved balance sheets and a disconnect between oil prices and stock values. Looks like someone's ready to 'Unleash the Swarm' of profits!

From Zergling Rushes to Bullish Bets!

Alright maggots! Kerrigan here Queen of Blades and apparently also a financial analyst now? Who knew? Word on the street – or rather across the Koprulu Sector – is that some Terran named Danny Moses who apparently made a killing betting against their flimsy mortgage backed securities back in the day is now all hot and bothered about…energy stocks. Seems even he's got an eye for a good investment even if it doesn't involve crushing puny Terran armies. He figures they're undervalued. 'Good. Let them suffer!' Wait wrong context. Ahem. Carry on.

S&P? More Like Suckers & Profits!

Apparently these 'energy stocks' only make up 3% of the S&P 500. Pathetic! A swarm of Zerglings could do better. Moses points out that historically they should be around 7%. He also said oil prices are disconnected from value of these stocks which is like saying 'a Siege Tank is no match for a Mutalisk.' Depends on the map doesn't it? But I digress. Even I know a discounted Zergling when I see one. Or uh a discounted stock. Whatever.

No 'Drill Baby Drill!' More Like 'Chill Baby Chill!'

Moses is saying these energy companies aren't being pressured to just 'drill baby drill' whatever that means. I prefer 'assimilate baby assimilate!' But to each their own. Apparently their balance sheets are in better shape after some 'transformational M&A' – whatever that is. Sounds like something the Protoss would cook up. The bottom line is that they can make more economic sense to own these stocks. 'Excellent. More resources for the Swarm!' Er I mean more dividends for the…investors. Yes investors.

OPEC+? More Like OPEC !

The S&P 500 energy sector is apparently underperforming because of 'OPEC+ supply increases' and 'demand concerns'. Sounds like a swarm of Hydralisks got caught in a choke point. Crude prices are down but Moses is unfazed. Says those are the risks we must take. Seems he's not afraid of a little market turbulence. A true Kerrigan in the making…just kidding. 'There is no hope only anger... and profits apparently.'

ExxonMobil and Diamondback: Moses's Favorite Playthings

Moses is particularly keen on ExxonMobil and Diamondback Energy. Calls ExxonMobil 'cheap' and likes the dividend and stock buybacks. Good for them. 'My patience grows thin!' I mean…good for the investors. 'They have potential.' Diamondback gets a shout out too. I don't care much for names I care about strategy and execution. 'We move as one.'

Embrace The Swarm! (Of Profits)

So there you have it. Danny Moses the 'Big Short' guru is betting on energy. Even a Queen of Blades can appreciate a good strategic investment. 'The Swarm is always hungry...' For profits of course. Now if you'll excuse me I have a galaxy to conquer... and maybe a few energy stocks to research.
