The Cassandra of Natural Gas
But let’s keep a few factors in mind …
Where are we getting all that gas?
As I have said before, that means we’re using one of our cleanest burning fuels to make one of our dirtiest burning fuels. And the ROEI (return on energy investment) is pathetic. Source for this chart is here.
It’s a good thing
Our long-term natural gas demand is climbing – up about 7% since 2000. Meanwhile, demand in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast are up 6% and 16% respectively in the last year.
Still, you can’t argue with the fact that mild weather and a surplus in storage point the way south for prices in the short term. I do expect another dip – maybe a sizeable dip -- in natural gas prices. And I think that’s the dip worth buying. That’s my game plan for Red-Hot Canadian Small-Caps. Now as to what stocks you buy to play the potential rally … hmm.
