I put together a list late last year that I thought were going to be big investing themes leading up to my retirement age. Given the recent hype in AI from ChatGPT I was reminded of this list and wanted to see what y'all had to say and if you have any other themes you're looking at. Here's my list in no particular order with the companies I currently hold:
- Water ( $Consolidated Water (CWCO.US)$ )
- Renewable Energy ( $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ )

Oil majors have been boosting production while also buying back shares, with Chevron reporting record U.S. oil and natural gas production in 2022.
U.S. oil production rose last year to the second-highest level on record and stands a good chance of setting a new record high this year. $Camber Energy (CEI.US)$ $Imperial Petroleum (IMPP.US)$ $Chevron (CVX.US)$ $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$ $Crude Oil Futures(JAN5) (CLmain.US)$
