In short: "There was no news to report on." Held offshore-driller exposure in the Codex oil & gas sleeve; cost basis $36.34, 75% allocated — one of the two names the oil analysis is ultimately positioning behind.

In plain English

No company news, but the entire 15-page oil analysis in this issue is the argument behind holding it. Valaris rents out offshore drilling rigs, so it makes money when oil companies decide they need more barrels from expensive places.

Mart's oil conclusion is that the physical shortage is worse than the $90 price implies, and that the two things papering over it — emergency stockpiles and destroyed demand — are finite and largely spent. The US strategic reserve is at its lowest since 1982; OECD government stocks are at a 1990 low. If he is right, the asymmetry favours upside surprises, and offshore drilling is one of the slower, longer-dated ways to be positioned for that.
