Diamond Offshore: Poised to break-out north
DO

Filed under: Stocks to Buy  Diamond Offshore Drilling's (NYSE: DO) shares are poised to break-out to the upside, hence I'm reiterating my Buy rating on DO, first recommended on June 10, 2009, at a price of $91.63.
<>Diamond Offshore is considered to be better-positioned than other offshore oil/natural gas drillers for 2009-2010, due to a strong backlog of existing contracts, and a significant cash position. Some of that cash could be used to buy newbuild rigs and/or weaker offshore drilling contractors. DO services customers in about 50 countries; a major customer is Petroleo Brasileiro (NYSE: <>P...

The demand for oil is not going any where any time soon, and DO is one of only a few deep sea drilling co. out there. As that type of drilling become cleaner and more effeciant, this stock will continue to grow. Plus they pay out special dividends all the time. You can't beat getting paid to wait.

Filed under: International markets, Competitive strategy, Chesapeake Energy (CHK), Economic data, Oil, Stocks to Sell, Earnings transcripts  You have to love OPEC. It's not uncommon for the barons of the giant cartel to voice their interest in seeing oil at such-and-such a price.
Recently, OPEC reiterated its desire to see oil prices at $80 per barrel. This, they claim, is the price needed to spur additional investment in crude projects. Apparently, anything less will result in oil sitting idle in the ground. Continue reading Sell these hot oil stocks for big profits now <><>Sell these hot oil stock...

Filed under: Stocks to Buy  Most investors know that it's an energy-intensive world, and even though the U.S. and global recessions have led to real declines in aggregate energy usage, don't look for that trend to continue. Further, the Obama administration's admirable goal to create a more self-reliant, energy-independent nation and the impact of efforts to first limit, then eliminate global warming from fossil fuels opens the door to alternative energy source development.
But, as Saudi Arabia reminds us, and the world, barring a breakthrough technology, fossil fuels will remain a major energ...

I've been following the election closely for two years. For the most part, politics is a hobby of mine, but in this year's election my interest went much deeper. I recognized very early that the 2008 vote would be monumental on so many levels and investment opportunities would abound. I even outlined the impact of the policies of each candidate on the market in an election gallery. <>Now that the results are in with the Democrats taking significant control of the executive and legislative branches, I want to drill d...

Filed under: PetroChina Co Ltd ADR (PTR), Stocks to Buy "We sense a turn for the better coming in the oil sector," says Peter Way who tracks 'big money' investors for his Block Trader Oil & Gas Report. Here's his look at the "big block" traders. "When we use the hedging analysis employed in our stock price forecasts, there are significant differences between some adjacent futures expirations. Here's the current picture: "Front month (November) hedging suggests likely near-term higher prices. But the December contracts are likely to continue the past 3-month price decline - briefly. <>"After that...

Fundamentally we know that the world thirst for oil is going up. It will continue to go up in the future because the strongly growing economies of India and China will drive that price up.
An earlier Seeking Alpha article noted that India and China both consume less than 2 barrels of oil per person per year. The U.S. consumes approximately 26. The Western European countries and other developed countries consume 13-15 barrels per person per year.

So in between(where we are now) we are a bit ambivalent, and for now remain rangebound as we have been for a while.
