The future for energy stocks is brighter than many investors think. That’s according to David Allen, Managing Director at Octane Investments.

In this episode of Talk ETFs, Allen sits down with etf.com Senior Analyst Sumit Roy to dive deep into the fundamentals of the energy sector, including how the upcoming elections could impact oil and gas stocks.

Allen also discusses why investors should consider the [**Octane All-Cap Value Energy ETF (OCTA)**](/octa) over the [**Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE)**](/xle), as well as how oil and gas companies have changed their ways and are much more shareholder friendly than they were several years ago.
