I have misgivings about Wall Street. Perhaps you do too.
For me, their short-term trading distorts the energy markets, almost beyond recognition. Indeed, the past year has shown clearly how disastrous such speculation can be.
But there is a way to remedy this situation…
You.
As a normal investor with a balanced, long-term view, you can stabilize the market. That’s why I started Oil & Energy Investor: to help you prevent market meltdowns.
The way to do that is by following this simple 15-step strategy.
And don’t worry – I’ll show you exactly what you need to do…
Now for the Strategy
Our 15-step strategy is composed of five entry points, five essential ingredients, and five elements you need to know. Taken together, these 15 considerations comprise a strategic investing approach I have developed over decades.
The five entry points are where I will bring you into the market: (1) companies in the upstream (production), midstream (distribution), and downstream (wholesale and retail); (2) technology developers and providers; (3) ancillary and support entities; (4) energy trading and hedging; and (5) product spreads.
The first three involve standard investment plays – buying or selling stocks and bonds, using puts and calls when appropriate, to maximize gains and minimize losses. Here we will be appraising companies, their performance, and their potential. In other words, this is traditional investment 101 as it applies to all kinds of energy and all participants in the sector.
The last two are newer opportunities. Here the average investor can participate in the profits from playing paper assets (futures contracts) against “wet” assets (the actual underlying oil, gas, or energy consignments), as well as the market value of one valued-added product (say gasoline) against others (for example, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, or petrochemical feeder stock).
We will follow investment targets in one or more segments: providing energy; improving efficiency or delivery; making available the necessary field, power plant, or market services; and trading the resulting energy itself.
