Top Energy Stocks by Oil, Gas, Uranium, Solar and Biofuel Sectors / Companies / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Marin Katusa, senior editor of Casey Energy Opportunities, spoke at the Casey Research/Sprott Inc. "When Money Dies" Summit and named the companies he sees as the best opportunities in the energy sector today. In this excerpt from his remarks, he gives background, warnings and targets that could help any investor trying to make money in energy.
The goal today is to try to make money, and the key word is "trying." If you think that companies can't get cheaper, you may want to think again. Everyone always talks about November 2008 as the depths of the stock market collapse, but that wasn't the low. The low was actually March of 2009. So be aware of the dangers of trying to catch a falling knife. Even a multibillion dollar market cap company can lose more than 40% of its value in three months. So be careful.
