Nine,I bought 900 shares MEG Energy just before close ( earnings were good tonight ). Energy stocks badly lagged Oil / Nat Gas today could be some serious catch up at the open. The Nat Gas stocks in particular are not pricing in the Nat Gas break out at all in recent days. Of the Oil companies that reported already, only Baytex had a bad quarter, and the forward outlook was steller. Whitecap had a massive beat but for some reason it isn't getting the respect Cenovus got yet. Rumour is a lot of US investors are in on Cenovus and Suncor.
Nat Gas still trending. If broader markets show signs that they have made support, we should see a big up day in Nat Gas stocks very soon.
I'm not discounting your thesis here, but be careful.
I mean basically you're betting on a war.
Natural gas is a well kept secret. It's plentiful af. It really is. Below are 2 charts. A 5 year and a 30 year.
I'm not saying that (with or without Putin, Europe, etc), that it won't be a stepping stone to lower green-house emissions, of course it will be.... but just know this latest spike won't last.
$4.50 tops.
It's as plentiful as grass in the Spring or leaves in the Fall.
It is.
But if you're right, thumbsup. All I'm saying is just be careful.
