Natural Gas, My Favorite Commodity to Buy Right Now / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: DailyWealth
In yesterday's DailyWealth, I outlined how rising interest rates will depress the stock market's P/E multiple... which will create a giant headwind for stock market investors.
You can protect yourself from this headwind by avoiding high-priced growth stocks. A popular growth stock trading for a P/E of 40 can get cut in half in a matter of months in this kind of environment. For instance, Amazon currently trades for 75 times earnings. Surgical device maker Intuitive Surgical trades for 58 times earnings. Danger ahead.

Watch Natural Gas in 2010 / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Guy_Lerner
If there is one commodity that I believe will be worth watching in 2010, it will be natural gas. Natural gas has the technical characteristics of an asset poised for a secular trend change from down to up, and I believe the price action over the past 4 months has already confirmed that a trend change is underway.

The Utica, An Emerging Canadian Shale Gas Play / Companies / Natural Gas
By: Richard_Mills
Shale gas is natural gas that has been generated and trapped within the natural pores and fractures of shale. This natural gas has been accumulating because of the breakdown of high levels of organic carbon or kerogen within the shale. The right temperature, pressure and a lot of time - over millions of years - is needed to produce gas. Shale plays can hold enormous amounts of gas and once production has been stabilized gas wells from shales tend to have low decline rates and long production lives.

Is the Nabucco Natural Gas Pipeline Worth the Projected $11.4 Billion / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: OilPrice_Com
Inside Beltwayistan, a number of Bushevik oil patch zombies still roam the recession-blasted landscape mindlessly chanting their Caspian mantra, “Happiness is multiple pipelines” - with the caveat that they flow westwards and bypass both Russia and Iran. They’ve now added a new word to their vocabulary, “Nabucco,” and worse, have bitten a number of Obama administration officials and visiting European politicians, who have joined their shuffling ranks.

Pockets of Promise in Natural Gas and Crude Oil / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: The_Energy_Report
Cheap and attractive, especially in contrast to high-priced oil, natural gas holds some appeal for Stansberry & Associates Investment Research founder Porter Stansberry. He's not exactly a hearty bull about it because the supply glut will keep prices depressed. But on the other hand, he definitely likes the looks of natural gas in emerging markets. As for oil, Porter expects it to do very well if inflation follows what he sees as inevitable declines in the value of the U.S. currency. Read on to learn what he describes in this exclusive Energy Report interview as "probably the best opportunity for oil investors in a very long time, maybe 40 years."

Natural Gas Outlook 2010 / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Hans_Wagner
The outlook for natural gas remains negative as the supply of the fuel outstrips demand. This situation will remain in place throughout the 2009-2010 heating season, unless the U.S. experiences an extremely cold winter. The earliest this situation will change will be during the 2010 - 2011 heating season, when available supply might be lower. Until then investors should tread carefully when considering the natural gas market.

Natural Gas Screaming Long-term Inflation Mega-trend Buy, But UNG... / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is the second in a series of analysis on the Inflationary Mega-trend that is anticipated to unfold over the next decade. The last article (Deflationists Are WRONG, Prepare for the INFLATION Mega-Trend) concluded that ever escalating debt fuelled stimulus coupled with never ending Quantitative Easing sows the seeds for a building inflationary outlook far beyond the deflationary impact of debt deleveraging as the DEFLATION of 2008 becomes increasingly old news which is evident in the reaction of near across the board asset and commodity prices during 2009 which WILL translate into higher consumer price inflation during 2010.

Natural Gas Wants a Wicked Cold Winter / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: The_Energy_Report
With the oil-and-gas price link weaker than it's been in over a decade and with natural gas too dependent on a fierce winter to fuel demand and drive pricing up, CRT Capital Group Senior VP Duane Grubert likes oil better than gas. Consistent with that stance, he also prefers producers that are leaning more toward oil than gas. In the gas arena, he tells The Energy Report in this exclusive interview, he's sticking with players who are diversifying and tends to choose those that are involved in exploration as well as production. While he favors better-capitalized companies for their proven ability to endure, he also likes at least one small-cap firm in the field—Energy XXI—in part for its "material volume upsides through exploring."

Natural Gas Market, What's Going On? / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Charles_Maley
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted – Arthur Miller (American Playwright)
There has been a fair amount of talk about the glut of Natural Gas on the market today and how full capacity storage could threaten us by the end of the year. This is a very interesting situation. We are running close to full capacity, yet natural gas prices refuse to go down. In fact, we have had quite a rally off the September lows, moving from slightly below $3.50 to $5.23, up just shy of 50% (November contract).

EIA Data Points to a Bullish Natural Gas Market / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Joseph_Dancy
Last week the Energy Information Administration released their ‘EIA-914’ report on natural gas production in the U.S. for the month of July. Production decreased 0.7 bcf/day from the previous month—a relatively bullish report. It was the fifth month in a row that production declined, reflecting the fact that the U.S. natural gas drilling rig count has fallen by over half from the highs last fall.

Russia Bolivia to Launch Natural Gas Joint Venture / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: F_William_Engdahl
The latest news report that Russia will sign an agreement with the Bolivian government to explore and produce natural gas is a significant setback for US domination of its traditional Latin American sphere of influence. Since it was declared in 1823 as the Monroe Doctrine, the United States, especially its banking elites have regarded South America as a de facto ‘American plantation.’ The move by Russia’s state-owned Gazprom into Bolivia must be seen as Moscow’s asymmetric geopolitical response to US expansion of NATO to the doorstep of Moscow in recent years. The US is ill-prepared to counter with any economic incentive.

By: Pravda
Russia does not possess several technologies required for the development of the Shtokman field – one of the world’s largest natural gas fields – in the Barents Sea.
