Three Energy Stocks Our Top Managers May Have Overlooked

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:57:33 GMT

The last year and a half has been a tumultuous one not just for the financial sector but for the energy sector, as well. Just over a year ago, crude oil prices were topping out above $140 a barrel before starting a downward spiral that left prices bottoming out around $35 per barrel earlier this year.[More...]

Tickers For The Latest Portfolio Reshaping

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:45:21 GMT

Fortunately my portfolio management methods don’t revolve around frequent trading. One of my kids came up to me recently and said, “What did you do today, Dad?” I said, “I made one trade, and I did a bunch of research.” He then asked, “How often do you trade?” I answered, “That was my first trade in a week, and I haven’t traded much in the last two months, but that’s not normal. There is no normal for me. When the market is really volatile, I trade a lot more, selling when stocks are rising, and buying when they are selling off. When the market is relatively placid, I don’t do much.” He looked at me, kind of smiled, and moved on. Information overload from Dad. Most people and investment managers trade too often. They sell their winners too rapidly, and panic too soon on their losers. Now, I’m not advocating “buy and forget,” or Buffett’s statement, “Our favorite holding period is forever.”[More...]

Seven Solid Dividend Increases Bucking The Trend Of Dividend Cuts

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:23:00 GMT

Last week marked one of the worst times for dividend investors as several prominent companies cut their dividends significantly. The last bastion of companies standing, which were paying dividends such as US Bancorp and Wells Fargo, disappointed their shareholders with dividend cuts. In addition to that markets fell to fresh 12-year lows. However there were several notable dividend increases from a few solid investor focused stocks. Companies that still[More...]

Suncor's (TSE: SU) CDS - Is A Default On The Horizon?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:20:00 GMT

Sometimes equity investors have a habit of overlooking the bond/credit markets. But in times like these, when credit markets are tight, the states of corporate balance sheets become more important than ever and it becomes imperative for all equity investors to watch and understand the credit markets. Take Suncor Energy (TSE: SU) for example. SU was Canada’s favourite oil and gas stock from 2004 – 2007. It is one of Canada’s largest oil and gas stock (by market cap), it produces almost 300,000 Boe/d, earns over $2 billion per year, and has probably the most ambitious plans for the Albert Oil Sands – plans that were originally estimated to cost ~$6 billion. Now that oil prices have tumbled by over 70%, oil and gas companies like[More...]

Block Traders Find Opportunities In Oil Sector

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:17:00 GMT

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:46:00 GMT

Sep. 20--Early in 2008, when Berry Y&V Fabricators moved into Billings hoping to cash in on the oil sands industry in Alberta, things were booming in the Canadian province.
Berry Y&V was hoping to build components of processing plants in the region.
Berry Y&V Fabricators still isn't hiring any of the hundreds of workers it expected to need, but the company's business manager is keeping a close eye on the rebounding oil sands industry and hopes to begin hiring by next summer.
