These 3 Infrastructure and Energy Stocks Are Outright Bargains
The energy sector is oversold, says Dave Fessler in Investment U.
That’s because traders dumped energy stocks as oil came down off its late July highs. The market also ditched infrastructure stocks, banking on less infrastructure projects thanks to less demand for oil.
Don’t bet on it. The world still depends on crude oil. And even if people are driving less, they still have to get around.
Dave has picked three energy and infrastructure stocks that are bargains right now…
Buy, Sell or Hold: General Electric Co.
GE is poised to enjoy very fast rates of growth in the years to come as its business line-up potential starts kicking in, as we are already seeing in the infrastructure business.
Follow T. Boone Pickens’ Lead With These 4 Stocks
Billionaire Texas financier T. Boone Pickens‘ BP Capital commodity fund dropped in value by 34% in July, according to figures obtained by the New York Post.
Fortunately for Pickens, he has a plan to move away from volatile oil. It’s called the Pickens Plan. It involves converting US cars to run on natural gas instead of petroleum and devleoping a massive wind farm in Texas.
Floyd Brown at Investment U says Pickens has a history of being in the right place and the right time and profiting handsomely. Floyd has picked four stocks to help you follow Pickens’ lead into natural gas and wind energy…
Buy, Sell or Hold: Valero Energy Corp.
Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO), the largest independent refiner in the U.S. market, is a well-known and avidly traded name. Despite being a member of the super hot energy sector, Valero has seen its stock price collapse from its 52-week high of $75.75 to Friday’s close at $34.72 (a 54% decline).
Blue Chips At Risk If SEC Shuts Down Naked Short Selling
Much has been written about the new drive by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to eliminate naked short selling of stocks. (Read the Mogambo Guru scathing criticism here.)
Rick Pendergraft in Investor’s Daily Edge has no problem in principle with the clamp down on naked shorting. But it may create more problems than it solves.
If hedge funds and brokerages suddenly have to settle all unsettled short sells, they will have to sell assets to cover their naked shorts. Blue chips with high institutional ownership are most vulnerable…
Penny Stocks Can Turn You Into the Next Warren Buffett
If you want to invest like Warren Buffett, you have to think very small says Jim Nelson in Penny Sleuth.
Buffett’s investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BKR.A), made its best gains in the ’70s and ’80s, when its tight budget meant it could only investment in small-caps. It is much easier to make huge gains when starting from a low base.
Berkshire now deals with the world’s largest organizations. The next Buffett will be investing in today’s penny stocks. More from Jim…

Two ‘Safe Harbor’ Plays Right Now
I walked into the University Place Branch of Bank of America on Saturday morning and was eyewitness to a shocking run on the bank. An unruly crowd had taken over the lobby of the branch. Every station in the normally deserted suburban banking center was full of customers.
How to Profit From Picken’s Wind Power Plan
Wind power should account for 20% of U.S. energy needs within a decade – compared with virtually nothing now – as the country’s energy needs are increasingly taken care of by sources of alternative energy, former Texas oilman-turned-wind-power-entrepreneur T. Boone Pickens told Congress last week.
GE Redefines its Business by Breaking with Tradition and Expanding Overseas
General Electric Co. (GE), which is reevaluating its operations after two consecutive quarters of sub-par earnings, will advance its presence in the Middle East by partnering with Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Development Co. to create an $8 billion commercial finance fund.“What it allows us to do is get good geographic and asset spread of risk, but more importantly it allows us to reallocate to higher-return opportunities in commercial finance,” Jeff Immelt, chief executive of GE, told reporters on a conference call.
The two companies will also work together in the clean energy, aviation, and oil and gas sectors, investing $40 billion in commercial and infrastructure projects over the next 18 months.
