Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:31:00 GMT

In his top-notch The Energy Strategist, he discusses his favorite MLP fund for those seeking diversified holdings of these income-vehicles: Tortoise Energy Infrastructure (NYSE: [More...]

Trading Strategy: My Spin On Using Treasury Yields To Trade The S&P 500

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:03:00 GMT

In my last post I tested two long-term strategies from Mark Boucher’s “The Hedge Fund Edge” that were based on measuring the attractiveness of bond yields in order to trade the S&P 500. In this post, I want to offer an alternative (and more effective) short-term trading strategy that exploits this same idea. The premise of this strategy is that stocks and bonds are always in competition for investors. As bond yields become more attractive, investors move away from stocks and into bonds, which is of course, bearish for stocks. The graph below shows the S&P 500 (blue), the[More...]

Picking Some Stocks To Survive The Market

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:04:00 GMT

I have not done well in the markets for the last six weeks. Here is why: Overweight in Life Insurers. Yes, they are in better shape than the banks, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. Too much economic sensitivity. I felt that global demand would hold up better than US demand, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. I suspect that hedge funds have been blowing out my positions. I’ve ben talking about stock survivability lately. What does that mean? Low levels of short-term debt. Few major debt maturities coming in the next three years. Low levels of total debt relative to tangible capital. Still earning money and producing free cash flow, even in a tough environment. If a company is[More...]

A small list of winners in this tough week for the market.CriteriaStock price $10+Average volume 100K+Market Capitalization $2B+Weekly return 6%+Green we own; blue we have owned or have discussed in the blog. Energy - what else, dominated. Fertilizer made a nice showing this week as well. We've got both those covered in spades. Again, as I've been repeating for a few weeks *if* this correction plays out as the past few - first will go will be the bad sectors (financials, retailers, homebuilders) as people realize a 2nd half recovery is not happening (that's been happening the past 2 weeks), then middle of the road sectors such as technology will begin to weaken (t[More...]

Giant Centrica Deal Gives Hope to Future Funding of Green Energy

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:51:00 GMT

Oct. 28--Centrica today pulled off the world's biggest wind-power refinancing deal in a joint venture between private equity and banks that is set to become a model for the industry.
The £460-million package enabled the owner of British Gas to announce a £725-million investment in an offshore wind farm at Lincs, off the coast of Skegness and next to its existing wind plants, that it will start building next year.
The energy industry watchdog Ofgem last week said that energy firms would have to spend up to £200 billion over the next 25 years on infrastructure such as new power plants, energy storage facilities, and increased use of renewable energy to ensure the UK can meet its targets to cut carbon emissions and secure future energy provisions.
