Roger Montgomery
May 13, 2020
After 30 years of investing, I’ve learned that three or four times each decade a market reaches a historic level, either high or low, that investors shouldn’t ignore. Right now, the most obvious opportunity is the historically low oil price. Investors seeking to profit from an oil price recovery have several avenues to consider. continue…

Will new LNG import terminals cut the price of gas?
Andreas Lundberg
June 27, 2018
Australia has more than 257 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas resources and 885 TCF in prospective resources.* And we’ll soon be the largest gas exporter in the world.

Andreas Lundberg
October 6, 2017
My recent blog post on the national energy debate created some heated (sorry!) responses from a few of our readers.
