I have always preferred to own oil and gas companies over stocks related to alternative energy. Mostly because alternative energy companies are highly dependent on the federal government for subsides to run a profitable business.

Something else: Exelon has indicated that this is the "best and final offer." Apparently, the company has realized new cost savings, which justifies the higher valuation. <>And, the merger would definitely result i...

NRG Takeover Spills Into Curious Option Combo
Today’s tickers: EXC, NRG, PALM, ANF, CAL, AMTD & PAYX <><>EXC – The company has been increasingly less successful in trying to persuade shareholders at NRG – NRG Energy– to tender their shares to the company in what has become an ugly battle. Shares in both companies are on the rise today at $51.08 (Exelon) and $23.70 (NRG). Two sizeable footprints were left for analysts to explore in options trading. Here’s what we think is happening. Perhaps the easier half of the trade is a nearby July 22.50/17.50 put spread on shares of NRG.
