Might this be a good alternative or option to investing directly in energy stocks?

I believe!

May take a bit of patience but I think 2015 will be a strong year.

It was the week that was and the month was even worse. Here is how my oceanic acted this week: +$76K, -$31K, -$138K, +$68K, -$83K for a not so pleasant give back of -$108K. I'm going to build some cash next week and start dollar cost averaging some of my weaker positions. I just can't stanz it no more - I need more commodities now that they are so cheap. I'll be buying steel, oil, coal and a few other favorites that are being given away. I've waited long enough and I need more pain for 2015.

Drill baby drill.

Hi Birchtree, I've never heard you like this...you actually sound a little bummed. But hey... 2015 will be an awesome year!! Start buying tons of those wallflowers you love. I sometimes think you buy stock to make you feel happy......kinda like when I go clothes shopping!! Best wishes!!

P.S. I love these new moving thing-a-ma-jigs!! I'm going to use them everywhere!!

I don't think rates are going up this year, but if they do a one and done I have no fear of the Fed. The S&P 500 has risen in most periods when the Federal Reserve boosts interest rates. For example back in Dec. 2003 - July 2007 the gain was 46.9% Also Oct. 1986 - Sept. 1987 the gain was 43.4%. There are other periods of gains but I don't want to bore you. Well alright, one more for fun. July 1961 - Nov. 1966 saw a gain of 47.5% I'd be buying all the energy I can right now.

The sweet smell of bull tinky, mmmmm

My notes tell me that on Jan. 7 BT posted a few beaten-down oil plays that held his interest.You should have paid attention, because, this has been going on since:

EPE up 42.5%, TPLM up 36.6%, SGY up 9.3%, OAS up 18.0%, LPI up 53.1%, CPE up 27.2%, CWEI up 16.6%, and SN up a whopper 79.5%.

The lone looooser of the bunch, GDP, and the ONE from this list that I picked to buy, is down 17.5%.

I dumped all my oil/energy stocks today in hopes that they’ll settle a bit, and give me nicer prices before the next run up.

I finally scratched up some spill money to throw away and I'm buying: CLF, MT, MCP, SD, CVO, MTG, MDR, CNHI, BAS, KEG, AKS. I still have a few dollars remaining and they'll go soon into more energy.

I'm trying to scrape up a few dollars from my "Chippendale Dancin Gig" to purchase some NBR and/or SPN! I'm very bullish on these two. I'm comfortable with the decision to purchase HAL a few weeks ago!!

I'm dumping a little more of my spill money and buying: ACI, ANR, WEN, CBI, SVU, KOL, NFX, FTR. So many wall flowers want to participate as the bull continues to rampage. No body really wants these wall flowers but bulldaddy takes them in for safety. And I can always use a write off if necessary.
