T. Boone Pickens Got The winds and Gas

Mr. Pickens wants the good old USA to kick the foreign oil habit pronto.  His plan is to use wind power to displace our use of natural gas in power plants, and use Nat gas in our automobiles.  TBP is right about two things:

1. Wind Power will be a major contributor to electrical generation.
2. Natural Gas demand will skyrocket in the near future.

Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) is the 800 pound gorilla in the US natural gas infrastructure market.  This company owns 17,758 miles of onshore natural gas pipelines, and 27.5 Bcf of gas storage.  If that isn't enough for you, Enterprise owns or has an interest in approximately 1,555 miles of offshore natural gas pipelines located in the Gulf of Mexico.  Buy Stock Under $27.00 and Collect a nice 7% Dividend to boot.

Bear Market Blues

Looks like the counter trend rally in the Bear Market we have been in is broken.  Over the next few weeks stay heavy in cash, and if you do enter the market please keep your positions small.  Use Ultra S&P 500 (SSO) for long trades and the Ultra Short S&P 500 (SDS) for the short side.  I believe we could see some upside movement in the markets during the first part of the week, but the overall trend is down.   Start making your stock wish list while the markets are finding their equilibrium.  With the housing, banking, and energy issues hanging over us, the next few months should be interesting.
