Why Energy and Resource Plays Will Profit in the Long Term

One of the biggest collapses this year hasn’t been in stocks. Crude oil has lost half its value since it peaked at just under $150 a barrel in July. Today, a barrel of the black goo sells for just over $80.

Outstanding Investments co-editor Byron King says “it seems like the investment locomotive — energy, resources and related infrastructure — has derailed.”

Does this mean you should sell your resource stocks? Byron says selling now would leave a lot of value on the table. That’s because resource stocks are now priced well below their intrinsic value.

Before You Sell, Think About This First…

Oil and energy expert Byron King says the current market climate is like Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow: there’s no relief from the suffering.

Assets across the board are deflating. The world wants it’s money back and is selling hard.

Should you join the rush to the exists? Not necessarily, says Byron.

First, it’s important to learn how the world economy got into the situation it’s in now.

The Only Safe Oil Investment: Tanker Ships

Crude oil prices have been highly volatile this. From its $146 peak in July, the black goo is down at $87 a barrel.

It’s a scary time to be a direct investor in oil. But Byron King says is one way of sidestepping the wild price swings: investing in tanker ships.

“As long as people continue to use oil,” says Bryon, “there will be some consistency to the tanker business.”

There is a relatively tight market for charters. And many good reasons why there won’t be a capacity glut in coming years.

What This Physical Gold Shortage Means for Smart Investors

On Friday, Congress passed the administration’s pork-laden bailout bill. Today, the Dow has plummeted by over 500 points. London’s FTSE plunged the most since 1987.

So much for the government ‘fixing’ the financial markets. Mr. Market simply isn’t buying the bailout.

How should investors react? Outstanding Investments co-editor Byron King says the answer is physical gold and precious metals mining shares.

The War on Terror Meets the War on Risk

Why are precious metals moving upwards? After all, the market smashed them down all summer as the dollar strengthened. The short answer is that right now gold and silver are the only decent game in town.

From the Gold Pan… Inflation, Deflation and Precious Metals

Have you followed the recent rise in value of the U.S. dollar? Through late summer, the dollar increased in value against the euro, as well as the yen and numerous other currencies.

Doomed US Dollar Will Ensure Long-Term Uptrend for Oil

Crude oil prices have climbed in the last 48 hours. But at around $97 a barrel the black goo is still down $50 from its all-time highs of July.

Energy and oil expert Byron King says this fall seems less severe when put in a longer-term perspective; crude oil prices are still up around $20 from this time last year.

Byron says a terrible outlook for the US dollar and dwindling supply will ensure oil remains on a long-term uptrend…

Oil Takes a Hurricane and Stays on Its Feet

The strengthening U.S. dollar has had a larger effect on the price of oil and other commodities than the supply and demand concerns we normally think of. Hurricane Gustav was not able to stop the oil price slide, and the collapse of Lehman Brothers (NYSE:LEH) pushed the price down even further.

Oil Fundamentals Are Strong Despite Selloff

Under normal circumstances it would be headline news. Crude oil prices today dropped below $91 a barrel on worries that the crisis on Wall Street will hit the global economy hard and reduce demand.

Energy and oil expert Byron King says this is “a temporary condition.” Oil has dropped mainly on a strengthening dollar. But the fundamentals for the US economy don’t support a long-term dollar rally.

Over the long term, Bryon advises investors to rely on oil’s strong fundamentals and the strong fundamentals of commodities in general.

Unsupported Dollar Makes Commodities the Best Long-Term Bet

Oil expert Byron King says it is a credit to years of investment that the oil infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico survived a direct hit from Hurricane Gustav relatively unscathed. But the real story is the lack of any real fundamental support for the recent dollar rally. Byron says this rally can’t last forever. That is why energy, precious metals and resources will bounce back in the long term.
