    Stive, is your site attempting to have me download a virus?

    I think a lot of the fast money is moving out of oil and natural gas related investments, but the fundamentals still exist for high prices in the long run, even with a global recession, conservation and alternative energy.     Reply

    People can bash T. Boone all they want. Has anyone ever gotten a job from a poor man? I didn't think so!

    Where do our fertilizers come from? How are plastics made? The modern miracles of daily life, what are they based on? Our society can not live without oil and natural gas. We need to follow Mr. Pickens plan to get our cars on a path away from consuming oil.

    Natural gas will work today. When battery technology becomes viable for cars, then we can power our cars with electricity.

    I think T. Boone is right on with his energy plan.

    I'm feeling brave.

    Time to wade in to the muck and plan for the future. At 27, you have more upside than down --- provided you have the cash and the ability to wait this out.

    You have both sides of the ticket on your side. Interest rates are coming down. This type of infrastructure is the growth engine of the future.

    valueinvestor123- I would much rather have someone post relevant facts instead of their opinion with no backing. If you post as you do without any backing to your statement, no one listens and no one wants to hear it anyway. You say Gendell concentrates on financials and this is why he holds so many banks. This point is stupid because his top holdings have nothing to do with banking or the financial sector. they're all steel except for one at number 4(also not a financial). So your original thought is really just erroneous babble that could actually cause some investor to make a bad decision. Which there is way too much of to try and read through when researching. Thanks Market Folly for the willingness to find this info and compile it and post it WITH some of your original thoughts on the relevant facts you write of. Reply

    Throw everything you know out the door. We are in uncharted territory.

    Trading this market is impossible. You'd have more fun at the track --- and maybe better odds.

    Companies are holding back on the repurchase plans, facing the same obstacles as investors. They keep going down, which does not put a bottom under these stocks. With credit as tight as it is, companies like JOYG, POT, FWLT, and others may be holding off buying back stock and hording capital. It's the right thing to do --- unless the stocks get cheap enough that you can buy back shares and have enough excess capital to run the company.

    These companies will resume repurchasing shares when they see a bottom --- or at least some light at the end of the bear cave. As bullish as I have been on commodities, it may be wise to do the same.

    According to a segment on CNBC just now, Tontine is down 66% YTD. Looks like some type of big bet really hit hard. Reply

    Right Kinnick... Have some patience. There doesn't seem to be any real reason to expect an upturn in teh near future, and if there is, buy when they start moving up. And P/E ratios seem to be worthless right now. Check Debt/Equity and cashflow.

    given FWLT another 15%. The above comments are exactly correct: throw out all that you know about picking stocks. These great companies are getting pummeled like the commodity stocks due to hedge funds and are trading down as if we're in the crux of the next depression already. Will be above 50 by next summer, if you can endure some pain until then. Reply

    Infrastructure stocks are not trading on fundamentals or prospects, they are being sold like the agri-business stocks, hedge fund liquidations, when they NEED to sell price, PE, backlog doesn't matter, nobody of size will buy into that selling, but when the selling is done, really big snap back. That's why the time to buy is when it just plain hurts. Buy 1/3rd posn now, 1/3rd posn down another 3-4 and the last 1/3rd down 3-4 from there, and wait till it hits $50 again in 12 months, that's how to make money. Reply

    The whole engineering sector is in a simular situation. KBR, FLR, and JEC are in almost precisely the same place. They have good cashflow, huge backloads. Do you know that these companies will not do fixed-bid contracts anymore? Everything is cost plus. Their risks are essentially nothing. So, I think they will do quite well over the next five years.

    User 238404 - could not agree more. I am a holder of Transocean (RIG), and in reading their financials, the only difference that the price of oil makes is a little less gravy on top of their record earnings. Some of their contracts are a fixed daily rate AND a premium on oil being over $80.00 a barrel. Some of those contracts were entered into in 2007 and will be effective until 2010 and beyond. So, until I see oil hit 80.00 I am not even going to blink. T Boone is no idiot, and has been through many recessions at his age. Nor are people in developing countries or the US going to stop driving any time soon. They can't afford an expensive hybrid, and will most likely continue to use their own car they have. Would you enter in to a new car loan in this environment, even if you could get a loan? Think it through, and then ask yourself, would you rather be in oil, cash, or retail in the long run? Reply

    Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL) operate worldwide and have fallen along with the price of oil, as if investors think demand and drilling will slow down significantly. But demand will continue to be strong for both oil and natural gas, and the drillers will have strong results. They don't need $145 oil, or even $100 oil to do well. Reply
