By Nur Tarkak - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: BBEP, LINE, VNR
Shares of BreitBurn Energy (NASDAQ: BBEP) moved higher after the company released its first-quarter 2013 results. BreitBurn saw growth in various aspects of its operations.

By Nihar Patel - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, XOM, LINE
It turns out oil companies are behind natural gas. It is, after all, another fossil fuel that is found with oil. However, in the coming natural gas economy, the only companies discussed are smaller ones that have the highest potential, though you can understand why investors want companies with the highest potential.

Solar Will Remain on Shaky Ground...At Least for Now
By Nihar Patel - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: FSLR, LINE, SPWR
I understand that guiding upwards is exciting news, but I do have a few concerns regarding the announcement made by First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR). The increased guidance is on the heels of news regarding an acquisition. In February 2013, the company gave 1Q 2013 guidance below analyst expectations, and in April, it guided for the full year far above analyst expectations.

Natural Gas Exports: Who Might Win?
By Robert Zimmerman - April 28, 2013 | Tickers: CQP, LNG, GLOG, LNCO, LINE
The Deloitte Center for Energy Solutions analyzed the impact of American natural gas exports. According to its report, Deloitte believes exporting 6 billion cubic feet a day will cause natural gas prices to increase 15 cents per million BTUs, or 3.75%. For exporters, this spells opportunity.

A Value Play in Oil and Gas
By Piyush Arora - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: BRY, LNCO, LINE
Investing in high-income growth stocks has always been a solid strategy, but investing in MLPs, or Master Liability Partnerships, is an even better approach. Companies that generate steady cash flows opt for an MLP status, which saves them the hassle of double taxation while unit holders get the bulk of the earnings.
