2 Strong Plays In A Struggling Natural Gas Market

Posted on by admin

By: Adam Fischbaum of Street Authority

Once heralded as the bridge to an oil-free energy future, natural gas seems to have been relegated to stepchild status in the hierarchy of carbon fuels. Why?

It's cheap, clean, efficient and plentiful. That's part of the problem. The Energy Information Administration (EIA), estimate that there are 388.8 trillion (yes… trillion) cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves in the United States. That's a lot of product to be pumped along with the 20+ trillion cubic feet of dry natural gas we pump annually.

And we keep discovering more. Take a peek at a 20-year study of the spot price.

After a couple of flirts with ridiculous prices, we're pretty much back to where we started when I still had hair and wore size 32 jeans.

The other challenge is lack of industry consolidation. The top 10 U.S. natural gas producers control 31% of the market. That's a decent number. But compare that to the top 10 petroleum producers who tap 52% of the market. Thin margins due to low prices don't get companies excited about acquisitions.

So with prices in the toilet and lack of merger activity, can investors make any money with natural gas? The answer is "yes". I've found two companies that are thriving despite challenging sector fundamentals. Continue reading "2 Strong Plays In A Struggling Natural Gas Market" →

Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery

Cotton Futures

Cotton futures in the July contract dropped 250 points over the last 2 trading sessions currently at 59.35. I’ve been recommending a bullish futures position from around the 59.00 level and if you took that trade continue to place your stop loss below the 10 day low which currently stands at 58.23 as volatility certainly has picked up in this commodity. Prices settled last Friday at 59.56 while trading slightly lower week now just barely trading above its 20-day but still below its 100-day moving average as the recent plunge in prices was blamed on very weak export sales data coupled with the fact of profit-taking. Earlier in the week, the USDA lowered U.S ending stocks and world stocks sending cotton prices to an 8 week high so continue to place the proper stop loss and if we are stopped out I will move on and look at other markets that are beginning to trend.

This Sector Breakdown Is Bad News

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Traders, there was a very weak close in the NASDAQ yesterday and I think this key sector has been lost and is set to push stocks lower. We're still short small cap IWM due to its under-performance to the other major stock indexes when using Fibonacci retracements.

Yellen, Yahoo and Yikes!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere, it's the last day of trading for the week and it has been quite a week.

Yesterday, Janet Yellen, the head of the Federal Reserve Board, came out late in the day and said that things were getting stronger economically and that the job picture was improving. It was a rare appearance by Ms. Yellen as normally the head of the Federal Reserve does not come out to make any statements, except official ones. That one statement alone was enough to evaporate most of yesterday's losses in overnight trading. It is all about free money folks and the Federal Reserve has no more rabbits to pull out of its hat.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) indicated that it plans to make a bid for Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO). I find it interesting that the Trade Triangles picked up that something that was going on with Yahoo on March 29th, 10 days before the Verizon news came out. This is one of the big secrets in the market, someone (and insider) always knows what’s going on. Because of this inside knowledge, they see an opportunity to make money and they buy either options or shares in that company, in this case, Yahoo. That translates into market movement and plays into the algorithm used for the Trade Triangle technology. Yahoo is up this morning in early trading and I believe that this stock can move higher from current levels.

It seems as though 100 point swings in the Dow have become the norm at least for the moment. However, as you know, I tend to look at the bigger picture and what's going on. I do that by looking at how the markets are closing compared to last Friday's closing. Continue reading "Yellen, Yahoo and Yikes!" →
