Delray Beach, Florida -- May 10, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ -- “When investing in natural resources you have a choice between being a contrarian or a victim. As a contrarian, you should not chase late-stage bull markets. Rather, you want to position yourself for the next bull market. In essence, you are finding the present bear market and awaiting the inevitable resource cyclicality to play out in your favor,” states Dr. Russell McDougal, Senior Market Analyst for Investor’s Daily Edge.

For a number of reasons, Natural Gas is totally unloved at the present time. In the entire resource sector, Natural Gas stands out with its current bearish profile. This spells major opportunity in the coming months.

An unusual confluence of events has brought about this Natural Gas bear market. It spiked to near $15 in late 2005 after the devastating series of hurricanes hit the Golf Coast, destroying production infrastructure in its path. Shockingly, there were no hurricanes wreaking havoc upon this area in 2006 and the Natural Gas price is now around half of the spike high of 2005.

McDougal Adds, “The U.S. relies heavily on Canadian production to fill its shortages. Approximately half of Canadian supply currently flows to the U.S … The U.S. also receives gas from Mexico, Venezuela, and other countries. Unfortunately, these countries are funneling their profits into national social programs instead of growth and development of hydrocarbon production and infrastructure. There will be no easy way out of these supply deficits.”

Some suggest that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) will solve the shortages. There are 40 LNG terminals in the construction planning stages, with costs ranging between $500 million and $1 billion apiece. Refrigerated tankers also have to be built. These LNG terminals are not expected to be on line until 2020 at the earliest.

“It appears the cosmos have lined up in support of higher gas prices. The bear we seek in the overall resource bull market has been identified. The question now becomes exactly how to profit as this plays out in the coming months and years.” McDougal continues, “Oil and gas are inherently volatile sectors. The time to take positions is when the pendulum has swung too far in one direction.”
