Energy.
Coming into 2020, it was the worst performing sector on the market. The scaremongering narrative of oil/gas coming to an end has been bought by a lot of uneducated investors.
Money's gone away from the sector and a lot of people refuse to go back. This has provided an opportunity for the rest of the investing community that looks at stocks in a pragmatic way. You can pick up cheap assets with a good business that will make a lot of money over time.
Oil's hitting 6-month highs. There's a reason for that: a supply/demand imbalance. Oil will probably stay here or go higher over the coming year. This will probably encourage more activity.
Most of the stocks in the sector are undervalued and a buy. If you buy now and just sit and hold, you'll be rewarded from here.

Close to bankruptcy 3 years ago, made it around the corner, and paid off debt. Now a cashflow machine. Be aware that it's a high-cost producer, so if oil goes back to $40 this stock is going way down. This could happen, for example, if China's in a huge recession. Great levered play if you want leverage to oil. See his Top Picks.
