    make 55 mph max speed limit for all highways, add $4.00/gal energy tax to all oil based fuels to fund solar, wind development and natural gas exploration and get the US out of foreign oil!! Reply

    Dear PSpec.

    What you say about Atlas may be true, but trying to make sense of the organizational structure for the Atlas family of companies makes my head hurt. Does this structure have a valid business purpose?

    Or is it some type of Ponzi scheme perpetrated by the Cohens? Also, can someone whose primary experience is in real estate, effectively manage a natural gas exploration and development company?     Reply

    "the domestic enemies of the usa did not die with the soviet union . bankrupting our country is their goal; annoy them by supporting - drill now drill here. "

    No amount of dreaming, wishful thinking, name calling and carrying the ball for the oil and gas lobby - promoted by the "drill here/drill now" guy Knut Gingrich or anyone else - will lead us to some fancied promised land where we can be the masters of our fate based on fossil fuels. And the notion that we can magically make use of oil locked up in Colorado shale conveniently ignores the environmental devastation (that's right, DEVASTATION) that would result from an undertaking similar in scope to that under way in Canada. This is the Colorado Rockies, not northern Alberta, where the moose and mosquitos play. As for drilling along the Santa Barbara coast, here's a thought ... let's first drill along Jeb Bush's Florida coast, and see how far that idea goes. The operative term here is NIMBY and, even if we could meaningfully close the gap between consumption and demand - which we can't - it wouldn't begin to solve the long-term problem that we, as a nation, have to get off the dime and get serious about energy alternatives to fossil fuels.

    As to the "domestic enemies of the usa" - here's one whose comments are worth noting. This domestic enemy said:

    " America has fallen well behind European nations such as Germany, Spain and the Netherlands that already reap huge percentages of their power from wind.

    'We're very ignorant in this country about other forms of energy (than fossil fuels),' he said."

    This domestic eneny of the USA went on to say that "the United States has 4 percent of the world's population and 3 percent of known oil reserves, but is responsible for 25 percent of world oil consumption.

    That means the country spends $700 billion on imported oil each year, which will be unsustainable as prices keep rising.

    And, he said, oil prices are unlikely to drop long-term because world demand of 86 million barrels a day exceeds the world's production of 85 million, which is about as high as the industry can go."

    In other words, cut out the propaganda, bring a halt to the dead-end policies and wishful thinking that have brought us to this point and the American auto industry to the brink of financial disaster: get serious about a long-term national energy plan that will REDUCE our dependence on oil and natural gas - while using the far more domestically-oriented and cleaner natural gas as a bridge fuel, for some years to come.

    And the "domestic energy of the USA" I've quoted is T. Boone Pickens.     Reply

    Very nice article (but Jack Y. has a good question above), you hit on a major element that I look for with respect to energy suppliers -- adequate access to low cost infrastructure for delivery of the commodity. That has led me to take a like EP and WMB, and now ATN as a Marcellus Shale play, so thanks!!

    Does NFG have the same kind of infrastructure Atlas has?
    With IRR so leveraged, wouldn't a minor decrease in gas prices kill the stratospheric IRR? The low price of the stock seems to reflect this risk.     Reply

    With their IRR so leveraged, a minor drop in gas prices should greatly decrease IRR, correct?     Reply

    Good article! Question to the author:

    How does $8 gas impact the rates of return, and the attractiveness to the investors who put up the moeny to drill the wells?

    Can the "guranteed return" to the investors completely eliminate any return to ATN if the gas price goes low enough?

    AMERICA IS FULL OF "ENERGY IDIOTS"

    ‘Buy America Energy’ should be our focus for the future.
    We could have $2.50 gasoline from our own local supplies.
    The American oil shortage is political, not geological.
    In the U.S., the local, State and Federal governments prohibits drilling offshore, effectively blockading American companies from supplying oil to Americans so that foreigners can make obscene profits from our energy stupidity.
    Half the home sales in America are foreclosures because we are sending all our money overseas for foreign oil, when it could be staying here creating millions of safe American oil and local jobs.
    The entire economy and our communities are facing collapse because of the irrational ongoing attack on American Energy.
    Our entire modern society is build on fossil fuels. The population is so brainwashed by the "Sierra Club Gang" they don't realize that if the much maligned oil companies went on strike, within a month half the population would be dead;
    Without hydrocarbons fuel you would soon be walking. You couldn’t be driving cars, and it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, as they would be walking too.
    The food distribution system would quickly grind to a halt as cold-storage warehouses stockpiling perishables went offline due to lack of electricity.
    Most of the things we depend upon would be gone, and we would literally be depending on our own food assets and those we could reach by walking to them.
    Without hydrocarbons fuel people in hospitals would be dying faster, because they depend on electrical power and natural gas for warming to stay alive. But then stoppages would soon include water, food, civil authority, emergency services. And we would end up with a country with many, many people not surviving.
    ANWR: Could quickly replace 10% of America's oil imports.
    OIL SHALE: There's 3 trillion barrels of oil in Shales in Colorado, The technology to remove the oil was developed back in the mid 1980s. This Area could supply 20-30% of America's oil needs within a decade, with modest environmental impacts. It only takes 3 barrels of water to make one barrel of shale-oil. It take 85 barrels of water to make one barrel of ethanol!
    CALIFORNIA FACT; There is between 2-3 billion barrels of proven-probable barrels of oil within 20 miles of the Santa Barbara County shores alone.
    See; www.strategicnine.com/...
    CALIFORNIA FACT; This area alone could produce 300,000 to 500,000 barrels a day for 10-20 years, replacing more than half of California's oil imports, while generating billions in County, State and federal royalties, and make Santa Barbara County the wealthiest in the nation.
    NATURAL OIL SEEPS POLLUTION; The Santa Barbara County continues to suffer 6,000 tons per year or airborne pollution from natural oil-gas seeps and does not get a nickel in revenues or health benefits from natural oil seeps and instead continues bankrolling Americas competitors and enemies.
    Change is urgently needed, or the American economy will soon disintegrate.
    The OPEC-Russia-Chavez oil cartel is not just looting the United States, but the whole world, and will accumulate over $1.5 trillion in net profits this year. At their current rate of take, OPEC-Russia will acquire enough cash to buy majority control of every leading company in the United States within six years. And you are voting into power the very American-energy-traito... who are doing this to you and your country.
    Its high time to Put American’s Energy Supplies First.
    Vote all the energy-idiots out of local state and federal governments.

    Cash Is King: Accrual Earnings Stock Screen [view article]
    Aalan,

    I have found no screeners that have the Accrual Ratio as a a criteria, but this does not mean that you screen for it. You need to find a screener that allows you to create equations with balance sheet items.

    I use Reuters Knowledge, but this is not free.

    I understand your point, but it is possible to perform the ratio manually on a stock by stock basis. Good Luck!

    -Mark
