A recent article about a liquified natural gas (LNG) ship caught my attention and made me think about investments that take advantage of this one ship’s dilemma. Recently, Bloomberg reported that a sanctioned Russian LNG carrier ship almost circumnavigated the world looking for a buyer for the LNG on board. The ship was at sea […]
This can be a frustrating time of year for investors in the types of stocks I follow and recommend. With little to no news about smaller companies, share price movement can be very random, and a random down will make investors ask: “why?” The real news is scarce for stocks that aren’t in the news […]
As I work with a minus-14-degree wind chill outside, my thoughts often turn to natural gas. Four weeks ago, natural gas traded for $2.00.
