    Too Soon to Re-enter Oil Stocks? [view article]
    I remember not too long ago oil traded at $20 (right around 9/11). Now, people are saying $80 is cheap, because of demand from China, India, etc. People, those countries have been industrializing for the past 30 years. It's a classic case of short-sightedness to say that the recent 500% - 700% gain in oil is due to factors that have been around for much longer. Reply

    jim rodgers said that? I'm pretty sure every asset manager ever has said that, rather than the genius momentum investors who have gotten burned by the stocks featured. Reply

    You might consider adding Cabot Oil & Gas, Kodiak O & G, and Northern O & G to your list (symbols COG, KOG and NOG). These smaller exploration companies are diligently working the shales. Their reserves are only going to grow higher and higher. Reply

    It is doubtful Chinese will continue subsidizing their oil consumption while losing billion of dollars. Sooner or later they have to stop. Predicting the future demand for oil remains only a prediction. I would not buy oil yet. Reply

    The option to exercise the utility for any given source of energy is certainly a credential becoming more attainable to more households, businesses, and institutions through ready advancement of technology aided combustion systems. We've also seen geo thermal work exceptionally well by reducing cost of winter heating 50% and eliminating #2 fuel. Strikingly, the conversion to LP, or wood pellet sourced fuel is tantamount to the winter heating season soon to be upon us. It's the diversification and change from doing the same routine the same way that is shifting the demand for fuels more so than the daily spot price which we all can see now is not to be relied upon. Short term supply of ethanol in abundant quantity is as yet to be fully factored because of the first signs now of a high yield corn harvest. Like a flex fuel vehicle so to can there be more diversified application of building utility self contained power systems that can optimize the need for energy as a function of that energies cost. There are so many crossroads that have never been reached before that each new generation of appliance will likely use a fuels complete functionality as it propels the appliance, it is intended to power. Back in the old days we only had use to use less gas on the pedal. Reply

    Glad to hear cook503 is going to load up on nat'l gas, it's not like half the country heats their homes with it and the price has already tripled in the past 5 years. As long as you make money, who cares who pays the difference. Reply

    Thanks for the chart.

    Demand for energy is not destroyed, it is subdued or supressed. As prices fall, demand comes back. The EIA data show that over the past 4 weeks demand for gasoline rose week over week. Equilibrium, minus a bunch of speculators, is going to be re-established north of 100 and possibly 110 in oil. Once that becomes apparent the market will take off the discount currently applied to that list of stocks.     Reply

    There may be demand destruction in oil, but not in natural gas. In fact, we're going to see demand for natural gas increase in the coming years since it is more cost efficient than oil at current prices and also far more environmentally friendly. I'd load up now, but this is for the long term; don't expect 40% returns in a month or two. Reply

    I can't object to the notion of buying them while they're low, but call me a pantsy. This feels like catching a falling knife. (I have a new knife set, VERY sharp, maybe that's why I'm worried....) Reply

    Not exactly sure why CHK is listed among the "oil" stocks. Sure, it's energy, but it's not exactly "small" either.

    But, in any case, I agee that it's a perfect time. I just added to my CHK holdings this last week - and I'm already in positive territory.     Reply

    Add bio fuels because of mandates to the blend and the margins change drastically because, by law, certain fuels used for transportion are required to use ethanol. There is a reduction for gas and not for ethanol. Most ethanol is transported by rail before blending and crop (ethanol) harvest yields are expected to be at record levels this year. The jump in oil price has not withstood its value and instead reduced its demand. Reply

    Perfect time to buy; Low stock prices, end of summer driving season is near and winter heating season will begin soon. Historically, late August to early September are excellent entry points for oil stocks. Reply

    Retail on a Tear - Fast Money Recap (8/11/08) [view article]
    Today K+S AG a European specialty fertilizer supplier reported fantastic earnings. They more than quadrupled the year ago quarter. This may be the impetus to turn around the POT, MOS, and AGU trades. They moved to the upside yesterday when the dollar weakened. However, they are continuing to move up today even with a relatively strong dollar. Grain futures are up today. Oil futures are up slightly. Things are boding very well for POT et al. Reply
