Gas but Not Least - Cramer's Mad Money (6/18/08) [view article]
Sharksm, this is for you. Cramer is a trader and he does change his mind. He personally made 100 million for himself and many millions for his customers at his hedge fund. When was the last time you accumulated 100 million $ ? ReplyGas but Not Least - Cramer's Mad Money (6/18/08) [view article]
CREAMER SAID TO BUY PBR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO AND NOW HE THINKS IT IS "TOO BIG"! SHOULD I SELL? ReplyGas but Not Least - Cramer's Mad Money (6/18/08) [view article]
Cramer is a moron, only exceeded by those who swear by him. I have been Investing in energy since 1999 when oil was $12 bbl and nat. gas wass 1.72 mcf. I have and do still own CHK, COP,XOM, XTO. CVX, HK, numerous oil service & drillers and recently sold DVN which I had purchased at $7.00. Over those years I have heard Cramer scream buy, sell, buy sell, etc. ad nauseum. When a stock is at it's high, he yells, buy, buy, buy, and when it falls back he turns like a weathervane and yells sell. The normal ratio between oil & natural gas is 8-1 not 6-1, and natural gas will probably pull back into the $9-10 area, at which time Cramer with his clownlike appearance will, sweat,a wipe his brow and say take it off the table. He is an idiot and only exceeded by his fans. Since the cost of producing natural gas is less than $3.00 mcf, even $9.00 provides a nice margin. Also look at the drillers and service Companies, like PDC, HAL,RIG, NE, DO, PDS (which pays a 5% dividend), HERO, etc . I own them all. Replyahead
Anadarko Petroleum's Positives Outweigh Negatives [view article]
Why shouldn't APC do what every single NOC on earth is doing to APC and others? The energy business has changed, and everybody has to adjust. The LP's can vote with their feet. But I doubt many will. ReplyOil and Gas Sector Looking Stronger - CreditSights [view article]
Get rid of the "dim-wit-o-craps&... and "RINO'S" who are opposing drilling in ANWAR and the outer continental shelf, plus deriving oil from shale on federal lands. Their opposition to nuclear and coal fired electric generation plants is stupid, but then fools are not known for their intellect! Global warming may be occurring but it is due to mother nature. Sun spots (hydrogen flares on the sun) are mainly responsible for the earth's temperature. Water vapor is the main "green house"gas. What can mere man do about this? Nothing, except to utilize pseudo science so snakes like Al Gork can get rich off preying on dumb people. Reply

The problem is not the price of oil. Oil is an amazing store of energy with potential way beyond our current usages. The problem is that oil has been undervalued for so long that this revaluation is calamitous.The good news is that we have easy efficiency gains out there for the taking and they will create jobs in the process. Bill Clinton said that the efficiency gains from IT were responsible for the booming economy under his term. Maybe the next administration will be wise enough to encourage the retrofitting of America's infrastructure and prosper as well.

A little bit too late to be constructive in this debate, but certainly useful information for those that happen to pass byHere's a little reality check to those that believe the future will merely be a brighter version of today
"Brazilian Oil Finds May Cost $240 Billion to Develop"

And to think they want these fields pumping by 2009. In the middle of a credit crisis? They'll be lucky if they have financing by 2009. And guess what, once they have financing, the estimate will be raised to $500B. And thats if nothing goes wrong in the meantime

If we see a drop of oil from the fields by 2012 I'll eat my hat

Fitzman:You hit the nail on the head. Diversification is for the folks that are unwilling to do the research, (watching Cramer, and reading blogs looking for tips does not count). Energy, Ag, Commodities for the next few periods, maybe longer. Keep working to figure out what,s next. There is no easy money........Black Horse Running. Reply

barnburner: actually, vanguard is "precious metals AND mining" because i like steel almost as much as oil. so, i like the VGPMX (up over 20% so far this year) because i get exposure to gold, silver, platinum etc. etc along with the mining. also, they view coal as mining too, and some coal stock are really jamming. i hate friggin coal...refuse to buy the individual coal stocks...so, i guess this is my way fooling myself into having some coal. i fear the longer the US keeps from adopting a sane energy policy, the more coal will be a necessity - and the more mercury gets dumped in all my trout fishing waters :( ReplyIn Light of Peak Oil, Financial Diversification Is a Bad Idea [view article]
Whoops, I found your reply-thanks ReplyIn Light of Peak Oil, Financial Diversification Is a Bad Idea [view article]
Fitzman, I thought I asked this question on this post before but maybe on another one of your post BUT, why not just buy USO which has done better that any of oil related companies on your "buy" list? For precious metals it seem as GLD and the Silver ETF would avoid political upheavals and mine disasters that occur with Gold and Silver stocks so why not a straight precious metals play instead of mutual funds with a lot of vulnerable mining stocks?

One more thing: the Fed cannot raise interest rates to fight inflation like Paul Volker did. This is because the US consumer is in debt up to his and her's eyeballs: credit card debt and upside down in their home and auto loans, with little or no savings to back it up. Therefore, the US dollar will continue to slide and, you guessed it, push oil prices up more in the US on a comparable basis, than country's with more sound monetary policies.

mkreisal: i suppose it is possible they have information about a potential solution to the energy crisis that no one else (or at least not me) knows about. that said - why don't they come out with it? i mean berkshire's stock is down for the year and surely it is being negatively affected by the recessionary US economy and housing markets - after all, the are exposed to the consumer with their paint, bricks, and carpeting investments. Besides, I have heard Charlie Munger speak out about the difficulty of oil supply keeping up with worldwide oil demand. However, I have a simpler reason for believing they don't hold "secret" information: I believe Buffet has great love for his country and has immense integrity. If Buffet had secret information that could prevent the pain that the US citizens are feeling due to high energy prices, it would be an uncommonly unpatriotic move for him not to come public with it. Don't buy it.Pangaea: it IS different: oil prices have doubled in the last year, and are up 6x over the last 10 years. meanwhile, the supply "cushion" that existed the last time we had an energy crisis (1970's) not longer exists. Therefore, it is different. Not to mention that fact that oil traded at a record $134 recently, the US treasury is for all intents and purposes bankrupt while simultaneously fighting two undeclared wars and giving tax breaks to the uber-wealthy. Man, if that's not different than the 1970's, I don't know what else to tell ya. Reply
