Looking For High Dividend Growth Stocks? Head North
By Robert Ciura - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: POT, SU
Investors tend to pigeon-hole themselves, with a tendency to focus exclusively on stocks domiciled in the United States. Some may be wary of diversifying their equity holdings internationally, due to a slew of geopolitical headline risks that seem to resurface every few months or so.
Fortunately for investors, you don’t need to buy stocks from across the world that you’ve never heard of, nor do you need to more »

Has the EIA Killed Peak Oil?
By Joshua Bondy - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: CVX, XOM, SU, USO
A number of factors have changed the face of peak oil. Low U.S. growth, increased oil production and more fuel efficient modes of transportation have dampened the effects of rising energy costs. Peak oil is still a real phenomenon, but in the medium term it looks like it will affect the economy through subtle means.

Are Oil Service Firms Worth the Risk?
By Joshua Bondy - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: NOV, OIS, SU
Finding oil and buying up acreage is important, but without a drill the oil will stay in the ground. The growth of shale formations, ultra-deepwater fields, and the oil sands has increased the difficulty of modern oil extraction. The increased degree of technological complexity has driven many upstream firms to focus on smaller parts of the exploration process, leaving more room for oil service firms.

Investing in Oil Is a Slippery Game
By Phillip Woolgar - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: BP, XOM, SU, TGP, WLL
Energy stocks are among the most ulcer-causing investments, as there is little certainty, particularly due to a trending global decrease in the reliance of oil. That uncertainty is fueled by an energy sector in a questionable period, with the advancement of clean energy sources, and troubles spewing out of large oil companies. This leaves long-established oil firms spinning their wheels in a world that is yielding to renewable energy.

Smart Energy Firms Follow Growth Overseas
By Joshua Bondy - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: HAL, SU, RIG
The U.S. energy market is going through a classic boom. High prices have inspired new production, while at the same time decreasing consumption. No investment is guaranteed, but a good understanding of the macroeconomic situation can help to decrease risk. By investing in energy firms with interests outside of North America, you can benefit from stronger consumer demand.

Declining Canadian Oil Prices are a Blessing in Disguise
By Jacob Wolinsky - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: CNQ, CVE, SU
At a time when U.S. oil companies continue to post vastly improved operating and financial results, the situation across the border is less upbeat. In fact, Canadian oil companies have been at the lower end of the market lately.
Canadian crude oil prices have been suffering from transportation infrastructure bottlenecks and declining import requirements from the U.S., which has been the biggest customer of Canadian oil. As a more »

Don't Let Peak Oil Sneak up on You
By Joshua Bondy - February 26, 2013 | Tickers: SU, SPWR, TOT
Discussions about peak oil usually degrade into a shouting match between environmentalists and energy companies. It may be entertaining, but what is most helpful is to take the facts and then act accordingly. A combination of these facts show that the energy is getting more difficult to discover and investors need to find forward looking companies that are willing to think outside the box.

Bears Wrong on These Energy Stocks, Buy Them
By David Gould - February 20, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, HAL, SU
Halliburton and Suncor are two companies that I have been generally bullish about for some time now. While the former has been irrationally beaten down by uncertainty in North American margins, the latter has been irrationally beaten down by supply pressures in Canada's oil sands. While they operate in two very different slices of the energy sector, their similarity lies in how they have both been subject to larger more »

Don't Miss the Long Haul; Ignore Volatility

Investing is a stressful activity. Daily price changes and quarterly earnings give enough information and activity to keep you glued to your computer all day. The energy markets are constantly filled with surprises and the latest doomsday story.
The chart below shows two different measures of volatility; one for oil, and one for the S&P 500. There have been huge spikes in volatility, yet the broad stock market has more »

1 Oilfield Service Stock, 1 Integrated Producer to Buy
By David Gould - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: HAL, SLB, SU
As an overall energy bull, I encourage buying through the entire supply chain. That mean purchasing stakes in oil & gas producers as well as their suppliers (ie. oilfield service firms). The latter offers an opportunity to invest in more niche areas of the sector. For example, if you are bullish on natural gas, hydro fracking equipment producers are a smart addition. Below, I review one oilfield service firm and one more »

Canada's Exports to America Will Not Disappear
By Joshua Bondy - January 3, 2013 | Tickers: XOM, SU, TOT
Recently a report came out by the International Energy Agency that stated the U.S. may become energy independent. In little time, mainstream publications were heralding the end of U.S. oil imports. If this were to come to pass then Canadian oil producers would face a very bleak future, as the majority of Canadian energy exports are sold to the U.S. The reality is that this situation is more »
