Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate

And while stock gains would be nice, this is REALLY the place where Obama's 2 (or is it 3 or 4?) million new jobs could come from. Producing NG, building new CNG facilities, coverting vehicles, and installing and operating wind turbines is where the real new JOBS payoff would be.

Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate

The sad part is Detroit (for once) was right on top of this trend. They built several dual-fueled (gasoline and NG) models here between 2000-05, and still sell 19 such versions in Canada. But the Congress never gave them a hand, opting to support unproven and prohibitively expensive EV's instead

Right on, gents. Let's get with it!

And you all failed to mention methane hydrates. We have vast domestic resources of this form of NG, which contain 160X (!) the energy of the traditional version. Of course, we'll have to license the production technology from the Japanese, who expect to be producing this product commercially within a few years. But that's alright, they'll be building our cars by then, as well.

You caught that, too. Curious, but Cramer didn't get his reputation by making many mistakes.

In Light of Peak Oil, Financial Diversification Is a Bad Idea

Terrific and well thought out article! But be careful, guys, the short term oil price bubble may be upon us, regardless of so-called peak oil. I don't think the author meant to say don't diversify, it's HOW you diversify.

For example, no matter what oil prices do near term, the value of oil service stocks will continue to skyrocket. There is only so much drilling equipment (esp. deepwater), and with oil company revenues at record highs, demand is off the charts.

The same goes for railroads. Only so many tracks and railcars, and they're getting a boost from the malaise in the trucking industry, as well. Agriculture industry related companies are also extended to capacity, which bodes well for their stocks. And ya gotta love Brazil, it seems they're doing everything right.

So by all means you MUST diversify, only watch how you do it. Just ask the guys who had all their money in lilies and dot-coms if they think that would have been a good idea.
