SmallCap Oil & Gas Pipeline Sector Plays
The oil and gas pipeline sector tacked on a remarkable 2.21% gain on a day the S&P 500 gained a mere .40%, making these companies some of the biggest movers on Wall Street today. The gain comes in light of June spot prices on natural gas climbing since last May, rising $.18 per million Brittish thermal units, or mBtu, and a gain on oil prices hovering around $75 to $80 per barrel intraday. We spoke with Chris Jarvis, he's an expert on natural gas and oil production companies and president of Caprock Risk Management, a fund that offers derivatives and options trading and hedging solutions for the world's oil production companies. Our video interview with him will be posted by tomorrow afternoon. In it, we talked about what will happen to natural gas and oil prices should we experience another aggressive hurricane season like we did back in 2005. Check out the video to see what he says.
In the meantime, here are some companies that moved on the back tail of the spot price movements in oil and natural gas in light of BP's catastrophic failure in the Gulf that are in our focus. Could investors be tired of humungous, large-cap companies and their politics?
