The Upside to a Natural Gas Downturn

Marin Katusa — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:32:24 +0000

Isaac Newton showed us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is why every downside force in the energy sector creates upside opportunities elsewhere. The challenge is finding them. It takes an understanding of the entire global energy machine to figure out what areas are benefiting from the changing landscape. [...]

Is a US-Iran War Inevitable?

Doug Casey — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:41:11 +0000

US-Iranian saber-rattling or impending shoot-out? In his usual, candid manner, contrarian investor Doug Casey talks about why he believes it’s serious this time… why the US is the greatest threat to peace today… why Iran might move towards a gold standard… and what smart investors should do. Louis James: Doug, I’ve heard you say you [...]

The Next American Oil Boom?

Addison Wiggin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:42:29 +0000

Decline rates. Seriously. There are not very many people outside the “Peak Oil” crowd who care — heck, even know — what “decline rates” are. Yet the “story that isn’t being told” is often where you find the best investment narratives. “At first,” our resident energy enthusiast kicks us off with just such a tale, [...]

It May Take a Dragon to Breathe Fire Into Markets

Frank Holmes — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:59:47 +0000

At the Cambridge House’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference this week, I am part of a special debate on whether China will boom or bust with bestselling author Gordon G. Chang. The title of Chang’s book, The Coming Collapse of China, states his position quite clearly and I look forward to the intellectual challenge of convincing [...]

$100 – The New Floor for Crude Oil

Chris Mayer — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:18 +0000

In the midst of the news about the EU crisis, it’s worth pointing out that oil prices have quietly crept back over $100 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate is $102 as I write. Brent crude, which many argue is the more important figure, is $111. This is remarkable given how weak the global economic recovery [...]

Water – Still Blue Gold

Chris Mayer — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:00:37 +0000

I was in Bangkok while the floods were raging. I also visited Cambodia. The floods were in the news there as well. Though it did not affect Phnom Penh, where I was, the remote villages were dealing with a lot of water. That’s the curious thing about water. There always seems to be either too [...]

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:30:59 +0000

With fuel prices edging ever higher, engineers are scrambling to find new ways to improve the energy efficiency of vehicles. We’ve already seen a few attempts on the market. Hybrid automobiles — vehicles that combine electrical and internal-combustion powertrains — are becoming commonplace. Pure electric vehicles, such as those in development by Tesla Motors, are [...]

Awaiting the Eventual Return of the Rare Earths Market

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 21:47:57 +0000

China is putting the squeeze on rare earths…again. And unless you have a large stash of light bulbs around the house, you’re going to feel this one personally. “China is temporarily shutting down most of the industry,” reports The New York Times — closing or nationalizing dozens of rare earth producers. Considering China already accounts [...]

Looking at Uranium…Again

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:24:45 +0000

Uranium is still a “Buy”…maybe now more than ever. The disaster in Japan slammed the uranium sector…and it still has not recovered. But this washout looks like a buying opportunity, as long as you’re not in a hurry to make a big gain. I won’t go into the Japan-specific details, but for our purposes, it’s [...]
