My investment strategies and newsletter recommendations focus on income stocks and funds. Being able to count on the predictable nature of dividends is far better to trying to guess the direction of stock prices and counting on capital gains, which may or may not show up when needed.

This article covers one of my favorite news items from the last month. A new significant source of lithium has been discovered. The source is in the U.S., and the lithium is easily recoverable.

Unfortunately, the market has not shared my enthusiasm, and the stock price has been range-bound for over three years. A recent announcement shows how this company’s business operations and infrastructure development have put it in […]
The Biden administration’s pause on approvals for new liquified natural gas (LNG) liquefaction projects has tanked the price of natural gas. The low prices will curtail production, eventually leading to higher prices. This is the time to invest to profit from the price recovery – and here are my favorite ways to do it… Natural […]
The Permian basin is one of the most active oil and gas regions. Over the last year, over 30 billion barrels of oil have come out of the ground in West Texas and New Mexico, and the experts expect that there are still another 30 billion barrels remaining. All the major oil and gas companies […]
Merger and acquisition activity continues to sweep across the energy sector. In the latest deal, Chesapeake Energy (CHK) agreed to acquire rival Southwestern Energy (SWN) for about $7.4 billion, in an all-stock transaction that will create the largest natural gas producer in the U.S. The enterprise value of the newly combined company will be around […]
