1). Stop Whining America!As I sit at my bar in RI, I have Pink Floyd, Money, playing in the background. These days everyone seems to be complaining about high oil prices. Going into an election year, politicians are looking to crucify oil executives. Charges of gouging and price fixing abound...What responsible commentators and politicians, in a free market, should be saying is invest in American oil/gas assets.
2). Hyperspectral Imaging for Hydrocarbon Intensity: No Ritalin Needed!
I have heard in my travels across the midwest the word "Doodlebugger", a quack who professes to be able to mysteriously find oil. As I research new methods to help find oil, I am always skeptical, but recently came across technology that seems very promising: Hyperspectral Imaging.
So what is hyperspectral imaging? In layman's terms it measures the elemental signature at the earths surface.
3). Covered Calls, A Godsend in a Flat or Falling Stock Market
It is amazing to me that not many retail investors understand the concept of generating cash flow from their stock positions. When I tell people that I utilize covered calls to generate extra income, hedge my stock positions, and set strict sell disciplines they look at me like I am crazy. I was introduced to the concept from a stockbroker, Scott Masse, who runs Masse Wealth Management, in Smithfield, RI.
4). Enhanced Oil Recovery, Secondary, and Tertiary Recovery
Did you know that much of the oil in the ground is still present after primary recovery? In the king's english that means there is still a lot of oil left in a well even after 10 years of pumping. The reason oil production slows is that the natural drive that once pushed oil aggressively towards the wellbore has subsided. Normally, the natural drive is either water or gas in the formation.
5). Where Did All the Oil Drilling Equipment and Well Service Equipment Go?
The well drilling and servicing businesses have been very prosperous the last few years. The industry, although, has been marked by an extreme cyclical past that discouraged capital investment. It doesn't feel too good to have a multi-million dollar piece of equipment collecting weeds somewhere in a field. When oil began to rise a few years ago, demand for drilling came back and rotary giants came back.
6). Risk in the Oil Drilling Game!
When considering whether or not to invest a portion of your assets into American oil, you must come to an understanding of risk inherent in this type of endeavor. As i have said before, if you are not a high networth or accredited investor limit your exposure to sector mutual funds and the like.
If you are an accredited investor, take a closer look at direct participation oil & gas deals.
7). The 46 Year Old Domain Virgin!
A very successful entrepreneur recently gave me an article from Business 2.0 talking about Domaining. As many of you know, I invest in oil wells and other things that give me passive income. When I wrapped my mind around the concept of domaining and domain monetization, I have to admit I got pretty excited.
I always thought domaining was simply speculating on domain names, I never really understood google adsense or those parking sites with all the links.
8). My Probuilder Experience Thus Far!
I have to say that after being initially skeptical of mlm or network marketing i have been very pleased with Probuilderplus. I originally enrolled to utilize the voice broadcasting technology in my sales and rest/bar businesses. After week 1, I had a number of pre-enrollees in my group and to my surprise a number upgraded to members. Therefore, I decided to start marketing the opportunity and products.
