  • Howdy,

    Yeah, I've been watching it but I'm playing it with my two local utes. With the fracking and 'unlimited stateside supply' this is a very tricky play on the long side.

    peace,

  • Reply to @ Ron: Yes, as I said in an earlier post a week ago or so, the U.S is a wash in natural gas that has only been enhanced by fracking technology. In fact we can't ship it overseas fast enough.
    Regards,
    Ted
  • My suggestion...capture the burn off. I heard a figure of close to million dollars a day in NG is flared off into the air. We are a very wasteful species.

    Reply to @bee: It is pretty remarkable - they need the infrastructure, but it's probably a matter of dealing with a ton of regulations. As I've noted before, I continue to like energy infrastructure and rails - they aren't going to be building more of either quickly and the dominant companies are going to continue to dominate. In fact, I may add more to some of these companies over the next week or two if markets continue South.
