Surprising Upturn for the Energy Sector

It is becoming common speculative knowledge in the Domestic Oil Patch of a Consolidation of Domestic Producers (Big buying the Little & Distressed). That coupled with the further speculation of Foreigner's Cash showing up as BUYERS. Most Domestic Producers, with heavy exposure to the Shale Gas Plays, are Substantially Increasing Proven Reserves at a time when Cap-X is being reduced. Postings of Poor Financial Results, BUT FABULOUS Reserve Growth present the Target for Buy-Outs. Depressed Natural Gas Price has the NEW, Foreign Buyer's about to fuel a feeding frenzy (buying on the cheap w/ GREAT Reserve upside going forward), so the speculation indicates. Who Knows though, we'll wait and see!

The Worst Case Scenario (Someone Has to Say It)

Iran is about to be removed as a threat to Israel and the rest of the Free World. Don't get caught too deeply in equities. Maybe GLD and USO.

CEF April Monthly Review: Real Estate Funds Rock

Maybe premature to be a Buyer yet? So much Real Estate for sale and Buyer's of these Numerous Distressed Properties are NOT FINDING Renters, UH OH! Who's able to rent with Jo Losses MOUNTING?? Too earley for Investmenst in REITS and other Long Investing in Real Estate for me!!

My Oil Outlook

It appears a mass consolidation is beginning in the Domestic Producer Arena. So many Sellers w/ positive cashflow, but triggers in their Loan Agrements dictate the Sale Activity. British Petroleum, British Gas, Apache and other CASH RICH, world wide Producers are lining up to pick these Domestic Reserve Cherries. Check out activity in PVA & XCO from the last two weeks, as they may be inviting cash infusions from Buyers to pay down debt and secure MORE Shale Play leasehold. PTEN, Driller, is supporting this speculation. Smart, BIG Money, coming off their perch to buy these distressed, but Reserve Bonafide, assets!!

Hey, what about the HUGE royalty GILD receives from Tamaflu?

A Roller Coaster Market Ride

Is anyone else seeing a 2nd round terribly devistating news for the Financials? They are bouyed up now only from a Tax Payer Hypo. Employment is the best indicator of an impending Real Rally. I'm hiding in the High Div. Preferreds and GLD (gold). The speculation now leads us to those Sectors at the bottom of the heap, being Autos, Domestic Drillers/Producers and Real Estate (Housing and Comercial), naming a few. Inflation appears to be in check until the Real Rally does begin. When Gietner, and his Fed Bunch, along with Cramer pour the sales job on us, watch out for the Real Bear in this Bull bump. Holdings: GLD, IID, IAD, XTO, XCO, PVA, GILD & MMLP

A New Bull Market?

TARP & TALF have the Market following a Wolf cloaked in a Sheep's Skin. Beware Investors, as I can't see any Jobs Growth when I snatched the sheep's hide off the Tax Payor Backed BIG Banks. Leave the safety of GLD-Gold and embrace the impending calamity of TARP & TALF supported equities. I must see two consecutive weeks of Unemployment Applications decline before the REAL BULL runs again, dumps Gold and returns to equities.

Pre-packaged Bankruptcy Is GM's Only Option - Barron's

Step 1 (For any Bankruptcy Plan): Stock Holders are SCREWED, so SELL, and SELL ASAP!!
Step 2 (For any Bankruptcy Plan): The Auto Workers Union go down w/ the Ship, as they should, being an equal part to the DEATH of an AMERICAN Icon.
Step 3 (Under Bankruptcy Protection): Figure a way to get the Labor Force to accept "Start Anew" Contracts that allow competiveness to Toyota (USA). This will never happen though, the AWU still gung up w/ the 1st sunken ship.
Step 1-A (alternate to above): NO Bankruptcy. The FED GOVT. steps in to Form one US Auto Manufacturer (the sum of GM + F + Chrysler). Nope, it'll never happen either.

The Deal's Getting Done, But Will It Work?

This author apparently has not worked in the REAL WORLD Banking Buisness, evidenced by his recommendations of starting up New Banks w/ the 700 million. It would take entirely too much time, but a stab at the problem nonethelss. He fails to understand that the BIGGEST TASK is a RAPID RESPONSE to the Credit Crisis,analogized: causing limbs to be lopped off in the field to save the body; it could be viewed as a crude & immediate response that is being prepared by Washington,but ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE TO SAVE THE BODY!! Hey, such immediate responses worked in the Civil War, I just can't qoute you the actual survival rates.
