Fellow investor,
The lightning-fast growth of oil and natural gas reserves locked in shale and other “tight” reservoir rocks has catalyzed remarkable changes in the domestic energy landscape over the past decade.
Advances in directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing methods enabled U.S. energy producers to tap the massive oil and gas reserves formerly locked away in impermeable reservoir rocks.
Not only did these production methods and technologies unlock formerly inaccessible energy resources, but these innovations also kicked off a land rush that revolutionized the way in which energy companies build their leaseholds.
Before our eyes, these trends are accelerating, taking over and changing the whole global energy map.
Just a few years ago, a map of the world’s recoverable oil and gas would have depicted the Middle East awash in energy—with most of the Western Hemisphere comprising a much less meaningful source of energy production.
How that map has changed. Today, vast areas of the west are known to be rich in recoverable oil and gas. Companies no one had ever heard of a couple years ago are emerging as energy powerhouses.
In our special report, we’ve identified the four best energy companies to invest in based on their unique advantages over their competitors, and excellent potential for income growth and capital appreciation. Enter your email above to uncover these four plays right now.
Picking out the best energy companies to invest in using a thematic approach
The best way to identify the future winners in energy is to start by identifying the most prevalent trends affecting energy companies. Our investment strategies tend to be driven by themes: We identify trends that can put wind in the sails of companies positioned to benefit, then we analyze those companies to pick the most likely winners.
Many of these trends are long term, such as the price of oil, which we believe is headed higher in the coming years, or the rise in the use of alternative sources of energy. Others are shorter-term in nature.
Sign up for this free report right now to uncover the four most attractive themes that investors need to be aware of when looking for the best energy companies to invest in. The four critical energy investment themes we will discuss in the free report are:
1. Oil - Why Prices Will Rise
Our society significantly undervalues the importance of oil, and a combination of voracious demand by developing countries and the depletion of easy-to-extract oil is strongly bullish for oil over the long term. One of the fundamental concepts that energy analysts think about when projecting where crude oil prices are headed in the long term is “peak oil.” Misunderstood as a “theory” and misinterpreted by Cassandras and crackpots, peak oil deserves a full explanation—which we provide in our special report, along with an updated way of looking at the “peak” notion and, of course, the best energy company to play this theme. Enter your email below to reveal our top oil play.

2. Natural Gas - How to Profit from Rising Supply
During the past decade natural gas prices reached record highs, and there were many predictions of natural gas shortages in the U.S. Oil companies began to add to their natural gas reserves by acquiring natural gas companies. Money poured in from investors, and companies invested huge sums into drilling for natural gas—including in formerly inaccessible reservoirs that new technologies, such as hydraulic fracturing, now allow producers to access.
The result was a glut of natural gas, and prices plunged to levels not seen in a decade. But, the natural gas cycle appears to have bottomed out, and natural gas prices should continue to strengthen for several reasons. Demand will increase as fleets convert to natural gas. For fleet owners, the economics of switching to natural gas are very attractive, even if natural gas prices are projected to climb. Demand for natural gas will also continue to increase as utilities switch from coal to natural gas as a cleaner and more economical option for producing electricity.
Natural gas demand will likely continue to grow throughout this decade. The demand increase will benefit long-suffering natural gas producers, as well as energy service providers with substantial exposure to natural gas drilling in the U.S. Get our full assessment of the natural gas market, as well as our top natural gas stock to invest in, when you request your free copy of The Best Energy Companies to Invest In.
3. MLPs - High Yields and Low Taxes
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are essential vehicles for energy investors, and there are two main reasons for holding MLPs in your portfolio. One reason is that MLPs allow some energy companies to structure themselves in a way that attracts conservative, long-term investors rather than speculators—that is, as income investments rather than capital-gains plays leveraged on commodity prices. The second and most important reason MLPs are attractive is that they provide tax-advantaged income. MLPs don’t pay corporate income tax; instead, they pass profits on directly to unit holders (shareholders) in the form of quarterly distributions. That’s why they’re known as “pass-through” entities. This arrangement avoids the so-called “double taxation” of corporate income and dividends that affect traditional corporations and their shareholders.

4. Renewable Energy - Separating Fact from Hype
Most investors dream of investing in that renewable energy company that ultimately grows to dominate its sector. Many recent IPOs in the renewable energy space have promised to do just that—solve our energy problems and become the next ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM). Finding such a diamond in the rough isn’t easy, but there are ways to improve your odds of doing so. Sign up for our free report to uncover the one renewable energy source that can compete head-to-head with oil prices, and to unlock our top renewable energy investment.
The energy sector has always been a solid choice for steady growth. But with the coming energy resource grab, investors now have a once-in-a-generation chance to lock in truly outstanding gains.
