Tempest in a Teapot

All the controversy about hydraulic fracturing leads some investors to believe that Congress is ready to ban the technique. But these fears are overblown.

Flash Alert: A Tasty Portfolio Addition

Palm oil prices are on the rise. Here's how to profit.

Biofuels Bonanza

There are two primary drivers of global crop demand: increased demand for biofuels and dietary shifts in developing countries. Both demand drivers favor higher prices next year.

Green Acres

Economic growth in developing nations is behind a change in global diets of epic proportions, the likes of which the world hasn't seen since the Agricultural Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Green Acres

According to the United Nations the world's population will increase by more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2050, from 6.1 to 9.2 billion people.

The Dark Side of Cap-and-Trade

Alternative energy companies are probably getting the most attention as potential beneficiaries of HR 2454; after all, the use of these technologies would be mandated by the RES, and putting a price on carbon tends to make energy sources that don’t emit carbon more attractive. But don’t go overboard; the bill isn’t a legitimate reason to aggressively buy alternative energy stocks.

Energy: Complacency Breeds Opportunity

The temporary pullback in prices has hit most stocks in the energy space hard, driving down valuations to the lowest levels since 1998, when oil was trading below USD20 a barrel and natural gas sold for less than USD2 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). This marks an outstanding opportunity for investors to buy stocks at depressed prices ahead of the next up-cycle.

America's Gas Growth

The US imports more than 13.5 million barrels of crude oil each day, roughly 210 billion gallons per year. That’s equivalent to a quarter of total global trade in crude. Although America depends on imports to meet oil demand, that’s certainly not true of all energy commodities.

Most investors are aware that the US is home to the world’s largest coal reserves; in fact, the nation is increasingly becoming a key exporter of coal to Europe and Asia.

However, many are surprised to learn that the US ranks second only to Russia in natural gas production. In addition, thanks to strong growth from a handful of world-class unconventional gas fields, the US is the world’s fastest-growing producer and stands a good chance of overtaking Russia within five years.

Oil 3.0

Mexico’s Cantarell oil field, located in the shallow waters of the Bay of Campeche, is by far the largest conventional oilfield discovered in the Americas and the sixth-largest worldwide. It’s estimated that Cantarell contains some 35 billion barrels of oil and can ultimately yield 17.5 billion recoverable barrels. But, like so many other supergiant oilfields around the world, Cantarell is slowly dying.

The Deep End

Following is a fascinating story that's truly the lowdown--more than 7,000 feet down to be exact--on cutting edge subsea drilling platform technology.
