Betting On Oil Stocks

Chesapeake Energy, Petrol Oil and Gas, Eden Energy and CanWest Petroleum Evaluate Impacts of Current Environment on Future Oil and Gas Supply and Energy Prices

This resulted in a tremendous lack of heating demand at the peak of the heating season and relieved what had been considerable pressure on natural gas prices early in the winter. Looking forward, there is a substantial amount of natural gas in storage. Warm temperatures, particularly early in the summer, may be needed to generate incremental demand for natural gas fired power generation and help balance ample current gas supplies”

Philip McPherson, Director of Research, C.K. Cooper & Company, describes the arena for natural gas moving forward, “With Natural Gas futures breaking $8.00 per Mmcfe for the first time since July this has everyone calling for $6.00 natural gas.We have argued that natural gas will bounce around the $8 to $10 level this year dependent upon level. I think this recent sell-off in the natural gas names is a great buying opportunity as these companies are reaping huge profit margins even at $7 gas. Investors new to the sector must realize that just 4 years ago gas prices where $2 per Mcfe.”

As Paul Branagan, CEO of Petrol Oil and Gas (OTCBB: POIG) describes, “With record market prices late last fall followed by a relatively mild winter and storage capacity currently above the 5year historical range according to the Energy Information Administration (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/ngs/ngs.html), it’s to no ones surprise that natural gas pricing levels have fallen significantly in the past month.

In terms of oil, many experts anticipate a continuation of high prices. Tim Brock, a Consultant with CanWest Petroleum Corporation (OTCBB: CWPC) explains, “There are many reasons for the price of oil to stay above $50 per barrel; world events and world economies and demand will dictate what the future price is, but I think it is fair to say that we are into expensive oil.”

Eden is preparing a number of high impact drilling projects and intends to be in position to benefit from this higher pricing environment. Of course, with higher prices come higher costs, and that underscores our belief that companies must build their drilling portfolio based on their own concepts and not be an industry chaser. This allows them to move projects forward without the high land costs we tend to see in pricing environments like we have now.”

Political uncertainty in specific oil producing areas has the potential to contribute to continued high oil prices. “Crude oil has been very strong of late particularly with geopolitical tensions in Iran and Nigeria, explains Mobley. “In general, the world oil market still is reasonably supply constrained with a limited amount of excess supply capacity.However, if oil prices were to be sustained below $60 per barrel, OPEC would be in a better position to cut production levels, potentially in their March meeting, which would provide support to oil prices.”

According to McPherson, “For 2006 we believe we could have a year of consolidation in oil prices, where weather and geopolitical news keep oil trading in a tight range of $55 to $70. This would be a good occurrence as it would give the world a year to adjust to these higher prices, before the next move, probably up, occurs.”

Industry Response:

As Branagan explains, “When the winter weather forecasts begin to gel this summer the market will adjust accordingly and like most independent producers we’ll continue drilling while we reconsider the focus of our activities and how to persist in improving our assets and revenue.

These would include streamlining regulatory processes, providing tax incentives to encourage exploration in more remote or high risk areas, and encouraging non conventional oil production from tar sands, oil shales and heavy oil projects.”

As described by Tim Brock, Canada has the ability, through the development of the Athabasca oil sands that has occurred over the last 10 -15 years, to help boost domestic supply of oil. “World’s largest deposit of oil of approximately 1.7 trillion barrels and using current technology recoverable is around 400 billion barrels of oil which makes it the largest secured supply of oil for the North American market. What you will be seeing is a significant amount of capital being invested in this region by several major corporations who believe that this area can boost the amount of oil that Canada is able to supply to the United States near term,” explains Brock.

Canada today provides around 15% of the U.S. oil needs and that will probably double over time according to Brock. “It becomes a strategic and interesting asset particularily for the Americans and as a result the Athabasca district has become a significant play and is being followed by the investment community very closely,” adds Brock.

Additionally, even if the U.S. does lower their dependency the global economies of the world are decades behind us in efficiency. It’s widely known that 50% of the energy generated in India is lost during transmission from source to user due to their archaic power grid. China’s consumers barely have the means to afford a car, let alone one that is fuel efficient.These in and of themselves will propel oil prices higher over time.” As Brock explains, “Ultimately we North Americans need to understand that we are into expensive oil and therefore we need to understand how to be power smart. Two things that need to happen, better production on one hand and on the other hand we need better use and we’ll see our way through.”

Emphasizing the need for long term planning, Mobley describes, “The country does need a cohesive energy strategy that makes sense with respect to economics and pays attention to supply and demand. There are plenty of long term fundamentals that are going to be supportive of higher energy prices, therefore longer term thinking is very important.

Getting Your Money

January 29, 2011 by Ryan · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Investing 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This axiom is particularly true in speculative investments. In order to have protected yourself, you should have followed my “20 Questions To Ask Your Con Artist” advice when this investment proposal was offered to you. You should also have followed my advice on ways to lower the risk in speculative investments.

However, your money may not be lost, IF you act quickly. You may be able to get some or all of your money returned to you in an unprotected investment that you made in an unworkable or fraudulent business proposal.

Common Sense In Investing

You must use good financial commonsense after you’ve decided to invest in anything. It’s possible, despite all your precautions, that you may have turned your money over to a swindler.Positive reports by the company may hide massive losses. I advise my clients to require online access to the company’s books. This doesn’t stop the swindler or desperate entrepreneur from cooking the books or jumping ship with the remaining cash. However, watching the company’s books is a very good early warning system.

With the First Suspicion, Take Action Then

Your decision could be based upon some facts that bother you. It might come from the firm’s books or the fact that you can’t easily reach or talk to the person running the company. You may not be getting documents or payments. Reports may not be sent in a timely fashion. Or information that you do receive is vague or at variance from what you had been led to expect.

Possible Recovery Scenarios

There are two scenarios in which the average investor has a chance to recover his risk capital, IF he acts firmly and before everyone realizes that the business venture was a failure or a swindle.

A. The company was started by an honest entrepreneur, who like most startup companies is now going into total failure mode. This warning often works. While the regulators rarely act upon a single complaint, the essentially honest entrepreneur is rarely willing to take that chance.

If your state has a SLAPP law, add to your refund request that you will use the Internet and call-in radio talk shows to educate the public about the entrepreneur so that he will never be able to raise a dime in the future.

B. A swindler started the company and you must act before the swindler has concluded that the sting is over.The swindler has to believe that by silencing you, he or she will be able to raise more money than your settlement costs. Action: You need to act on your first suspicion, rather than having a “wait and see” attitude.

California’s SLAPP Law Protection

California has a SLAPP Law. With that legal protection in place few years ago, I was able to speak out effectively, using the Internet to end the careers of two life-long swindlers. They were first arrested by Scotland Yard in 1977 in a case that the British Press called the “Mafia Trial.” I used a major Internet Investment Forum to educate the public and watch them lose everything they had swindled from the American public over the previous several years. Since then, they have yet to run an effective new investment scam.

Beware the Oily Tongue Which Sold You In The First Place

Be aware, when you decide to get your money refunded, that the person who smooth-talked you into investing your money will use all his or her skills to persuade you to leave your money in the program. There will be (false) answers to all of your concerns. The promoter will have some explanation for all the apparent irregularities. And, no doubt you will be told that backing out now would be anything from contractually illegal to a terrible financial mistake. Swindlers figure that, every once in a while, some of their more fidgety investors simply have to be re-convinced. Some swindlers will then revert to threats against you and your family. While most swindlers have bad tempers, few swindlers will take violent action. Your best bet is to record your phone calls, as I noted in my “20 Questions to Ask your Con Artist” article. However, if you aren’t willing to risk some threats, you won’t get your money back.

Demand It Now

When you insist on a refund of your investment, insist on it immediately. Offer to pick it up yourself or by a courier service or offer to pay the cost of having it sent by overnight mail or wired directly to your bank account.As everyone knows, checks seem to be lost more often than any other type of mail! Give the promoter no more than five working days to have the payment in your hands or your bank account. If you don’t get your refund, act upon your warnings to them. If you don’t do so, your warnings become threats and are thus illegal.

Report, Report, Report

If you don’t get your investment back (and the odds are you won’t), or even if you do and still suspect a swindle, report it promptly to the appropriate authorities and regulatory officials. Doing so at least lets the regulators know that they aren’t doing much to protect the public against White Collar Crime.

The Sad Bottom Line

Bottom line, the unfortunate reality is that very few victims of investment fraud ever again see a cent of their money. Flying slightly ahead of the other pigeons occasionally gets you your money returned. But starting your speculative package review with a “Show Me” attitude and reliance on outside consultants is by far the better strateg.

Investing In Risky Stocks

January 7, 2011 by Ryan · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Investing 

For anyone new to investing in penny stocks, you should first be made aware of the differences between these micro-cap stocks and the more conventional blue-chip and mid-cap investments. Unlike buying shares in a large, stable company like Ford or IBM, you are dealing with speculative investments.

Penny stocks literally trade for pennies per share, or for as much as a couple of dollars. The beauty of penny stocks, of course, is that sometimes they ‘grow up’ and become mid-cap stocks, multiplying in value hundreds of times over and making many people very wealthy.

Of course, there is more risk than buying bonds, blue chips or defensive stocks - but this added risk is tempered with the possibility of making the big gains. Many of the companies have large debt loads and are not necessarily making more money than they are losing.

However, it is the potential of a major, or even minor success in their quest that often incites dramatic price climbs, and this is where their value lies.

Profit Potential of Penny Stocks

At Peter Leeds Penny Stocks, we’ve been in the business of researching penny stocks for many years, and has become effective at uncovering the best small cap investment opportunities and the most rewarding profit situations in the penny stock markets.

There are several ways to profit from penny stock investments.

Promotional Stocks - The promoters own great amounts of shares and so they make more money the higher the share price travels. Eventually, they sell their holdings into the promotion and generate great personal profit. Then they move on to the next project, leaving the original stock and all its investors behind.

Without the work of the promoter, the promotional issue soon comes crashing down.

However, getting in on a promotional stock early in its life cycle, and keeping an eye on the actions of the promoter can be very, very rewarding. It’s like having a full time stock promoter doing everything in his power to get the share prices of the stocks you own to go through the roof, and investors who get in early can go along for the ride!

Technical Precursors - Often technical analysis can reveal patterns in the trading cycles of penny stocks. Sometimes these patterns illustrate excellent buying opportunities, where the underlying stock has a high probability of moving up strongly, and only a low probability of declining in value.

In addition, there are sometimes situations where several positive technical indicators combine at once to reveal that an issue is very likely to increase strongly in price over a short time frame, indicating that the particular issue is has excellent investment potential.

Fundamental Strength - Fundamentals involve such criteria as earnings, debt load, assets, and many others. It was long thought that earnings were the major driving force behind share prices, but we’ve since disproved this theory as it applies to penny stock companies.

Proper fundamental analysis of penny stock companies will generally reveal that there are about 2 or 3 superior investment opportunities out of every 100 companies examined. These 2 or 3 excellent corporations often represent better investments than 90% of stocks on the large-cap markets like the NYSE.

Undervalued Penny Stocks - Sometimes companies see their share price slide dramatically. There are occasions where this decrease in price has very little to do with the underlying fundamentals, and more to do with factors such as overall market weakness, interest rate increases, or others.

Opportunity exists in such situations because the shares are often ‘unfairly valued’ and a return to more realistic prices is inevitable. There are often cases where companies have more cash on hand per share than their share price, or have price to earnings ratios as low as 5.0

Minimized Downside - Often the combination of technical analysis and undervalued situations can reveal penny stock companies that have tremendous upside potential, and have a very low probability of declining in value to any significant degree.

These type of investments are excellent choices for penny stock investors that are less risk adverse.

Special Notes About Penny Stock Companies

For example, if you owned 5000 shares of EXO and for every 5 shares you were to receive 2 shares of LOR, you would find your account holdings re-adjusted to reflect 2000 LOR which can be traded as normal. You will no longer have the 5000 EXO.

On rare occasions, a penny stock company can become delisted. This means that the shares will no longer trade on the exchange, and if the company does not get listed on another exchange or re-instated at a future date, you may be subject to a loss of capital equal to 100% of the total investment.

Are you looking to outperform the marketplace and optimize your profits but are not sure how to pick the right stocks? Has investing become a chore? Do you discover yourself investing in hot stocks right after they have made their huge move? Would you like to learn how I increased my portfolio by above 400% in under 7 years? Do you want to discover how I have outperformed the marketplace over the past three years by a margin of 5 to 1?

 

Do You Hate Research? . .
. I do!

 

I have usually wanted to discover an investment strategy that made sense. An investment strategy in which I do not need to know the intricacies with the industry, predict industry trends or follow specific stocks. How can I get the inside details of what is hot just before the rest with the industry knows? I can’t. Nor do I need to.

 

Plus, I don’t have that sort of time to commit to in-depth research. Like you, I possess a regular job that I need to devote my time to. I am not a day trader; nor do I want to invest all of my free time about the computer doing research. Often following the stock market and obtaining stock quotes isn’t how I want to spend my free time.

 

I Prevent Individual Stocks .
.
. they are too unreliable!

 

Everybody wants to purchase low and sell higher. While millions of people do make funds this way (and many millions loose money), I have found an easier and more effective way to use the market to my advantage. I do not trade in stocks. I do what I can to steer clear of individual stocks. And I consistently beat the market .
. . month after month right after month.

 

If not stocks, what’s the alternative?

 

Like several folks, I got heavily involved in the stock industry in the mid to late Nineties. Tech stocks were planning through the roof and I, like everybody else, wanted a component with the action. It seemed an easy way to make funds. Everybody was acquiring rich. You did not need a special investment strategy to beat the marketplace.

 

Throughout this time, I engrossed myself in the monetary markets. I wanted to learn as a lot as I could without giving up my day job. I was trying to locate the next best tech stock, IPOs as well as the occasional pre-IPO offering. But it was not right up until I discovered options trading that I discovered an investment strategy (The Yager Trading Strategy) that can work in any type of industry . .
. Bull, Bear or stagnant.

 

That’s right..
.OPTION trading!

 

And I am not talking about stock options or writing covered calls. Choices trading..
.I started selling alternatives on S&P futures, using different methods and trading strategies. And I did well. Very nicely.

 

Between July 1998 and January 2000 (a span of 18 months), from my option trading system, I turned an initial $25,000 investment into $167,615. That’s more than 670% increase. And this was not paper funds exactly where you purchase a stock and it has a certain listed value. This was real, taxed income. Profits collected on a monthly basis.

 

Marketplace fluctuations and volatility have diminished greatly given that then..
.reducing the premiums. Those people types of returns are no longer available, but the option trading strategy is nevertheless extremely sound. I still consistently beat the market. Even the many years the DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P were all down, I posted a lot more than a 22% gain.
