“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Justice Litle thinks Dickens’ classic line  provides an apt description of today’s markets. Sure, this year has been hell. But it has also created some amazing opportunities for contrarian investors.

Nov 5th, 2008 | By Irwin Greenstein | Category: Oil Investment & Alternative Energy

The election last night of Barack Obama to the White House has many green investors cheering, but their elation may be short-lived.

T-3 Energy Services (NASDAQ:TTES) provides essential safety equipment for oil and gas rigs.

The US consumer is on life support. Retail sales cratered in September, and consumer confidence indexes are at rock bottom. Uncle Sam is gearing up for a new New Deal to resuscitate the patient, says Justice Litle. It will focus on alternative energy projects… and could create the next big bubble.

Commodities across the board are being taken down by the deepening credit crisis. But energy policy is a big issue in the coming presidential elections.

Chris Mayer agrees with Pickens. He says once the financial crisis ends natural gas and water stocks will attract big bucks.
