FCG: A Better Natural Gas ETF

I do not agree - companies have been rising because of the stock market rebound, not because of better tracking of NG - furthermore,
to buy today FCG puts you at risk of a downside in the market which to my opinion is very likely looking at technical analisys. I prefer HNU.TO (double exposure to NG) or other leveraged funds available in europe - best luck to all - NG anyway should rise at least to 20 soon..

Traders Turning to Natural Gas

Trqnsport system on NG ? Thats what we are already doing in europe; sales of private cars equipped with NG have gone up by 75% last month in Italy; I am long NG through NHU.TO and plan to add as soon as the 4.5 on the nymex contract...technicals are incredibly bullish (never seen so much technical bullishness in a stock) - see you at >6 for a >200% profit

Winter Heating Oil, Nat. Gas and Crude Oil Preview

Thanks Tim, your article gives me still more reasons to buy the beaten up refiners segment - wnr is trading for a P/S of 0,06 although revenue has doubled and insiders holding strongly and buying - this puppy looks to skyrocket when and if they surprise the market with good numbers - I would like to know if you can give me the crack spread ratio - I do my technical analysis on stockcharts.com - thanks

The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

great to see that so many people still do not want to understand the issue of peak oil, peak copper, peak gold etc..I'll just keep on investing in that direction and make beautiful money and dividends..

Stagflation and Peak Oil: How Related Are They? (Part II)

Johngonole, NO NO NO - it is not a matter of price - your sentence regarding alternatives "So first oil prices will go higher then they will become viable" is wrong - this as I said is the common reasoning of economists - but it is not a matter of price but of EROEI ! It is thermodynamics and these is not free lunch - what to do to get out of the mess we have all put ourselves because of our lack to reacognize the issue? Ban pick up trucks today, force people to use smaller cars, electrify our cities with public transportation, invest in railroad, invest in nuclear technology immediately, invest in coal - we need a marshal plan and MAYBE we will come out without much pain - otherwise, think doom and gloom, our society will come to an abrupt end in less than a second -

Stagflation and Peak Oil: How Related Are They? (Part II)

Johngonole, NO NO NO - you see, your sentence " first oil prices will go higher then they will become viable" refering to alternative energies is exactly the wrong argument that economists are refering to - only if EROEI is positive then the alternative technology is viable and makes sense economically in the long run - otherwise you are just throwing away your money ! Please re-read the example of the apple tree !

Stagflation and Peak Oil: How Related Are They? (Part II)

user, can you get into stocks ? If yes there are a multiple of stocks, traded in Canada (get out of the dollar while you can) like CEF.TO (linked to gold and gold stocks - I think it pays a dividend), U.TO (linked to the price of Uranium), for Gold-silver-palladium-... play, I suggest to play on the following stocks: GG, SLW, PAL and SWC all on NY stock exchange OR Toronto stock exchange (I think better) - of course, you will have to follow and do the buying and selling accordingly - regarding some oil related stocks, definetly the CANROYS like PBH, HTE, PWE, PVX and PBT and also I would not forget for coal FDG - good luck to you !

Why I'm Not Buying Oil's Recent 'Correction'

oil left an open gap at 122 - will fill it probably in the next few weeks - truth is oil production has peaked in 2005 and is now starting to fall fast - Cantarell Mexico is down 14% y/y - all this nonse of oil correcting because it is getting too expensive does not take into account the issue that oil is FINITE and diminuishing - economists can not understand this since their reasoning is based on the classical demand-supply relationship - my bet ? Oil correct at 120 approx. and then goes up beyond 200 when Iran gets bombed by year end - anybody wants to bet ? [e-mail]

Stagflation and Peak Oil: How Related Are They? (Part II)

Thanks Larry for the article, when I get up every morning I think about stagflation and peak oil and how to protect and take advantage of these two tsunamis, the latter being of outstanding proportions..you separate the two issues but infact I believe them to be very closely related..being a I oil chemist, I understand very well the products that come out of oil and the relationship between oil prices and inflation..basically, everything we consume and eat is based on oil - everything; when recommending companies, I would of course avoid the heavily in debt ones, indipendently from the area of work..lastly, together with swiss associates, I am going to launch a new fund called Thermo-dynamics which is going to exactly capitalize on peak oil and stagflation and how to profit from these two tsunamis which today are still out of the radar of major investors and Hedge funds. Our plans are to get into and play this theme untill 2015-2020. Why the name Thermo-dynamics? Well, since I am a chemist, basically I refer to Thermo-dynamics which is the branch of chemistry and physics which studies the laws of the transformation between energy and heat, which by the way is the basis of the motor engine of today and our suburbian civilisation - the economists believe that when the price of oil will reach higher levels, lets say 250 $ / barrel for example then alternative technologies will come on line and replace oil - nothing is more untrue but economists always and only think in matter of money; in reality, if the energy input is higher than the energy output, it does not make sense to move forward since you are consuming more energy than what you are receiving - in synthesis, the laws of thermo dynamics say there is "no free lunch" as opposed to the mentality of the herd which cannot and will not believe this. Blame it on the arabs, on the evil speculators (who by the way have been shorting oil since 100 $), on the seven systers and the three brothers (only kidding), on the Russians or Chinese. I make another example; you are hungry; you have a tree with apples in front of you - first you pick the apples than are the nearest - if the effort you put up to get the apples far away is higher than the BTUs (energy) that you receive, it does not make sense to get those last apples - peak oil is exactly this; we might have still billions of barrels underneath the oceans or Artic but a great % of them will not make sense to recover since the inputs to get them out (in terms of infrastructure, trasportation, refining etc.) will make them worthless. I hope people start waking up to this because this is the single most important issue that is going to strike the world in the next 5-10 years.

NYMEX: Speculators Aren't Driving Oil Market

americans, start selling your SUVs and buy fuel efficient cars (not hte Toyota Hybrids which in fact have a very negative life cycle, worse than a Hummer) - understand that there are no dark speculators driving the price of oil up - it is based on demand which is growing and projected to arrive at 120 million barrels PER DAY while we are stuck since 2005 with an 85 million barrel output - GOT IT ?? Slow down your air conditioning, no need to have freezing temperatures at home, you just need a couple of degrees less to have comfort - get ride of Suburbia model of life NOW - you are all doomed unless of course good old president invades Iran and secures supply by WAR (remember Iraq? why do you think you invaded it ? to free the curds and the shiites from Saddam ? yeehh
