Ten energy stocks our experts would buy now

What's next for the energy sector? And which firms are likely to be powering the future? John Stepek talks to our panel of experts, who pick the best energy stocks to invest in now.

John Stepek: What form of energy are you most excited about from an investment angle?

Alastair Bishop: Longer term, probably natural gas, particularly in America. With the advent of shale gas, the US has some of the lowest gas prices globally, so gas use is likely to grow. Companies involved in that, from gas producers to chemical groups that use it as a raw material, to those who supply the related infrastructure, could offer opportunities.

John Stepek

John Stepek is a senior reporter at Bloomberg News and a former editor of MoneyWeek magazine. He graduated from Strathclyde University with a degree in psychology in 1996 and has always been fascinated by the gap between the way the market works in theory and the way it works in practice, and by how our deep-rooted instincts work against our best interests as investors.

He started out in journalism by writing articles about the specific business challenges facing family firms. In 2003, he took a job on the finance desk of Teletext, where he spent two years covering the markets and breaking financial news.

His work has been published in Families in Business, Shares magazine, Spear's Magazine, The Sunday Times, and The Spectator among others. He has also appeared as an expert commentator on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Radio Scotland, Newsnight, Daily Politics and Bloomberg. His first book, on contrarian investing, The Sceptical Investor, was released in March 2019. You can follow John on Twitter at @john_stepek.
