Do Stock Screeners Work? Three Inexpensive, Reliable Energy Plays

Hi French guy,nice to see you again.
I find your comments are suitable for any investor who buys big cap stocks (DOW,SP,NASDAQ)and your pics are not different from picking a Wal Mart,Boeing or Intel.
What you advise is a stocks in energy sector that belong to an index SP500,CAC40,FTSE100 and indexing is no easy.When markets decline especially sitting in a dangerous bear hunting zone,all the best energy stocks may go down as well even if Oil/Gas can stay constant or rising.For your picks (how one can recommend such big frms everybody is familiar with) to go up Oil/Gas must rise very sharply and even if Oil/Gas will reach it's previous highs there is no guarantee your stocks will,after Gold/Silver reached new highs and went down with lower come back,Gold/Silver big caps (I don't even mention mid-small caps hat are down 60% on average) never reached it's previous highs and look where they are today.Just take a chart of your picks and compare it to Newmont Mining,Barrick Gold,Angloamerican or any other big mining stock you chose.You will see how far away it is from it's previous highs.
The reason for it is that investors/insiders who have much to do with the companies they invest are selling some or most of their holdings.
Already if you are experienced trader,why not to try your calls on stocks with buying futures on Crude Oil/Nat Gas,if one is a bull,futures offer better,purest and most liquid way of investing.Using normal margins if Oil/Gas will recover the profits will be derived from commodity itself,as any public company has too many insiders to feed,debt in the bank to pay interest on and other risks.
Have a good day French honcho.
