If I was betting on escalating crude prices, don't think I would be buying a small cap that is 98% gas.

Sounds like the US needs to improve its refining efficiency/capacity if consumers want relief at the pumps.



I have been meaning to respond to this in the other thread, I just haven't had the time to properly investigate it yet. This is where the other thread about gas prices/foreign demand breaks down first (IMO), given the real world events of several refiners shutting down in the last couple of months. Crack spread and Euro/US gas price relationship haven't meaningfully changed either, so I don't buy the last guy's supply/demand characterization either, I just don't have a better answer at the moment and I couldn't find any sort of pan-Asian or Chinese gas prices on bberg to investigate that angle.

Good point on GMXR, just added it to the list since it moves very aggressively with the price of oil more so then gas. I was excited a few months back to get it at $1.50 then watched it slide below $1.00, but loaded up on it again, then even though the price of nat gas has been relatively flat v/s oil, just last week unloaded it all at $2.03 with a nice profit. Watching it slide again today, waiting for it to get to $1.50 and playing it again!
