    Is There a Bounce Opportunity in the Energy Sector? [view article]
    no. Crack spread dropped 20% and crude is in backwardation. Refiner utilization is in the mid 70s what will happen to refiners when it gets to the mid 80s? Reply

    Energy Companies Follow the Big Pharma Model for R&D [view article]
    R&D can be frustratingly elusive in results. Look at Apple and Microsoft, initially startups. Apple in a garage with only two guys. Then look at IBM and their vast amounts poured into their OS and PC harware.
    We all know who is left standing.
    That maybe the model we are liikoing at instead.     Reply

    Meanwhile IT and electronics firms like Apple, HP, Intel, IBM, and Microsoft remain relatively strong in this weak economy because they had the wisdom to invest heavily in R&D. Reply

    no new products except through acquisitions - a recipe for a dull gray ho-hum company.

    Oil: The Inconvenient Truth [view article]
    Regardless of what feelings or opinions you have about global warming and its causes - solar cycle, human activity (fossil fuel and forest burning) - the fact is (sorry to the deniers in the crowd), this planets climate is changing (yes, and it always will) and it appears to be changing at higher rates than ever recorded (based on available anthropological climatic data). What is most important now is what we - all of us - do about it. Some of the changes will be good - expanding growing seasons in pole-ward regions - but even more will be bad - human habitation patterns based on the past climate will be thrown into turmoil. What we all need to do is figure out how to: a) minimize the negative impacts and b) take advantage of the opportunities presented by these changes ... Pinehurst, NC could be beach front golf-resort property in a century or so (it was in ancient times past – why do you think they call the area the “sand hills”?). What we don't want to be is characters in some future societies stories of worlds lost to cataclysmic events - as in Atlantis or the ancients who lived on the pre-historic Black Sea coast at the end of the last ice age and became part of the Noah's Ark stories.

    In the meantime, we will still need boatloads of fossil fuels to keep our societies going - slowing the consumption of these fuels is important both for the sake of our environment, but more so for maintaining our standard of living --- the key is to generate more GDP per unit of fossil fuels year after year, decade after decade ... eventually it may be supplanted as the pre-imminent fuel for power and transportation but in the meantime we need to do all we can to make sure the supply of fossil fuel commodities is sufficient to prevent (or at least minimize) global economic dislocations or worse - that means finding and producing here.

    F.Y.I. On average, each year an order of magnitude more oil is released into the environment via shipping (pipeline, barges, and tankers) each year than in the drilling and producing processes. It's a heck of allot cleaner to "grow" it local than to have it shipped from overseas – not to mention the regimes we payroll by importing their crude.

    I guess due to the recent sell-off in energy no one will continue to drive ICE cars or it will actually get cold this winter. Reply

    Interesting. Southwestern Energy, SWN, is the ONLY listed stock with a YTD price increase. But even SWN has been in a steady decline since June. Reply

    Energy is SO going to make people a LOT of money. If only I had more cash--but I guess I'm destined to make my money mostly in precious metals. I do have some CNX--oh man would I like MORE right now. And CXG. I also have some microcaps. Reply

    If you bought 500 shares of each one, you'd already be a millionaire! Reply

    I agree with you, don2m. Your investment idea seems like a good idea.


    Will you loan me the money to try it?

    It almost would appear that there is strong manipulation in the entire sector as the numbers would indicate here.
    The sector always hangs by a very thin thread anyway as evidenced by IKE last week so to say at this point that energy is dead is insane. Take the entire list and buy 500 shares of every one and sit for 2 years and the odds would support becoming a multi millionaire. When the "powers" decide that the energy sector is oversold and there is a blip in the supply or further extortion from the producers the prices will soar again. It would be an excellent investment at this particular time.     Reply

    T. Boone Pickens' Stocks Struggle [view article]
    Poor 'ole T. Boon "Pickpocket"... I bought some of his Messa L.P. Preferred on the advice of a wealthy man who was knowledgeable as to the investments of Rice University's endowment fund. Due to poor performance, the shares took a reverse split, so I ended up with one share for every eight shares purchased. The $15 per share original stock price ended up netting $34 for every $1,500 invested. Of course, 'ole T still drew a big salary, big bonus's, and flew around in a corporate jet all the while, until he was kicked out of his job by the larger investors.

    I am sure he is a "good old boy" (especially if you are and Okla. State University supporter). However, the bottom line is that he can, and does, make mistakes just like the rest of us. Where he is different is, he just likes to take bigger risks.

    I also recall feeling sorry for some people who lost their jobs due to his corporate raiding ventures in the 70's.     Reply
