Gen X wonders if it can ever retire. As Wall Street waits for Citi and Merrill shoes to drop, Goldman issues gloomy forecast. As if write-downs weren’t enough, here comes another $250 billion problem. A 17% first-quarter loss…When hedge funds don’t hedge. Coal prices shoot skyward… The sector ideally positioned to benefit.

The U.S. Energy Department said earlier this week that it expects average monthly gasoline prices to peak at $3.60 a gallon this spring, since the high prices will serve to curb demand.

Stockpile declines catch analysts flat-footed. In the energy market Wednesday, crude for May delivery skyrocketed to a new alltime high, closing at $110.87/barrel, up $2.37 after hitting an intraday high of $112.21. May reformulated gasoline rose 2.38 cents, to $2.7742/gallon.

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Energy reported the biggest BUILD in crude oil supplies in a decade, indicating a fall off in demand. Meanwhile, gasoline stockpiles FELL by 4.5 million barrels. This says gas consumption continues to rise. So how can you profit from these divergent moves in energy markets? Easier than ever before actually!
