Natural Gas Companies

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:58:38 GMT

Picking your next natural gas play isn't so easy anymore. . . or is it? Back in March, we saw the first real buying opportunity for oil and gas stocks. At the time, nearly everyone I came across was in the trenches. Every company was either at or approaching a 52-week low.[More...]

One Stop Shopping For 'Energy' Exposure: Blackrock Energy And Resources

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:34:18 GMT

Let me preface this piece by saying I stole this specific instrument from Jeffrey Saut, who mentioned it in his weekly missive. Long time readers will know I've mentioned this market has become all about asset allocation, and sectors - I noticed this late in 2007 when we were hiding out in commodities while many other sectors were imploding but other than a few periods when "everything" is going down (or up) it appears a lot of individual stock selection is going out the window and "sectors" are more important. Some themes are broad like "China" or "commodities" (which in many ways are now the same theme), where others are narrower such as "casual dining restaurants". I don't know if its the dominance of program trading or the growing popularity of ETFs but this seems to be a secular change in the[More...]

Will More Liquified Natural Gas Turn This Commodity Global in Nature?

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:30:00 GMT

A quite interesting story via the New York Times; a lot of people toss "crude oil" and "natural gas" into the same "energy" hamper, but they actually have quite different constructs in terms of demand/supply dynamics. (Mar 15, 2009: NYT - As Oil Prices Plunge, a Frenzy of Drilling Ends) It can most simply be described as the difference between an easily transportable, global commodity (crude oil) versus one that is not (natural gas). Hence the latter's supply/demand dynamics have been historically more focused on the localized economy. Put[More...]

More Bad Choices

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:27:00 GMT

Politicians are notorious for taking the easy way out -- adopting short-term-oriented, seemingly painless "solutions" that usually end up costing taxpayers far more in the long run than those choices that involved brutal honesty and tough decisions up front. Such a mindset explains, among other things, elected officials' penchant for debt-driven spending and costly promises (read: pensions) that tend not to be fully accounted for until some point far in the future. Under the circumstances, it's hard to believe that with public officials adopting strategies like those described bv the Associated Press in "Cash-Strapped States Weigh Selling Roads, Parks," taxpayers won't end up getting the short end of the stick once[More...]

Interpreting Yesterday's Rally

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:00:00 GMT

So I am sitting there, and the market's down around 4%. The S&P had breached the October lows, and I'm loaded with short positions, including a pretty large position in the ultrashort EEV. Then it suddenly occurs to me, everybody's watching this level, including the government. And they have hundred of billions of dollars to buy stocks! I started thinking, if I'm Hank Paulson, I'd be buying hand over fist now to protect the low, maybe put a floor under this market. So I covered a bunch of positions, although unfortunately too few, and what had been a magnificently profitable day turned into something quite mundane. That was some gut-wrenching, exhausting action. So call me a tin-hat conspiracy guy, but I think we would still be dropping if it weren't for the plunge-protection team. All the same, I will respect the rally, since it is exactly what I was looking for in order to move to a bullish orientation. I do not think we have seen the end of the bear[More...]
