OK, Ill cut right to the core point: The US economy is going to boom so aggressively over the next few years that whoever will be president is going to get re-elected, even if it means amending the constitution to ensure we get to keep Obama in office. So thats the premise the pitch is from Porter Stansberry for his Stansberrys Investment Advisory newsletter, and he knows better than almost anyone that bold, brash and controversial statements and headlines are what gets attention and you cant sell newsletters without getting attention. So yes, some of you are going to be apoplectic over the pitch that Obama will get re-elected again and again, in FDR-ish fashion, and others would feel the same way about the version of this ad that he ran that suggested Romney will also be re-elected next time around if he happens to win today. There are plenty of places for you to discuss your political differences I dont particularly want to hear them, so feel free to move on elsewhere with those.

But the main point is not that one or another politician will be re-elected, or even that President Obama will be so beloved that hell attain almost king-like status and remain in power like an American Putin. The real point of Stansberrys pitch is that well want whoever is in power over the next few years to remain there, because theyre going to be really good years. Why will they be really good? Well, on that front this is really just a third or fourth iteration of the pitch hes made several times in recent months: Cheap American energy is going to be a huge game-changer. Which means, of course, that hes talking about horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and the boom in US oil and natural gas production that has come (and will continue to come) as a result. And that will bring with it a

revival of US manufacturing thanks to the low-cost energy that helped build the US during the second half of the twentieth century. Some of thats already happening, of course, thanks to the rising costs in China, but the big idea is that were going to see dramatic benefits from the fact that energy is now once again cheaper in the US than in much of the rest of the world and its because of rising (and sometimes trapped) production, not because of price controls or weak demand. That price differential is very clear with natural gas, which is often touted as the fuel of the future because of its relative abundance and cleaner-burning profile (compared to oil or coal), but its also there for oil. Natural gas is still not that widely shipped, so gas remains far cheaper in Oklahoma than in import-thirsty Korea, for example, but oil is widely shipped and the resurgence of US and Canadian production means that mid-continent resources (as from the Bakken) are cut off enough from overseas shipping that theyre substantially cheaper thats the effective differential between the WTI price and the Brent price (theyre not that physically different, but West Texas Intermediate is the oil you buy in Cushing, Oklahoma and its the US benchmark for pipeline-connected domestic oil Brent Crude is the benchmark for North Sea oil but is the benchmark for almost any oil thats loaded on a tanker we still import a lot of Brent, particularly in the Northeast, but if you can buy WTI in Oklahoma from a Texas or Bakken field instead itll cost you about $20 a barrel less, roughly a 20% discount). And yes, of course, Porter himself doesnt endorse Obama hes a pretty intense libertarian and doesnt much like most politicians, but he especially dislikes Obama heres a bit from the ad: Hes nothing but a charlatan. Even so I know Obama will become the greatest president in U.S. history. Much like Kennedy, this has something to do with his charisma which I find revolting, but others clearly love. However, thats not the real reason No, a simple secret lies behind Obamas soaring power, which is still far from its peak. Even as I write these words, an enormous economic force is building. It is a force that rivals the scope of every single American boom in our history from the 1880s steel and railroad boom, to the 1920s automobile boom, to the baby boom of the 1960s and the computer boom of the 80s and 90s The force now behind Obama is more powerful than all of these events combined. This force will carry Obama back to the presidency in 2012. And yet again in 2016. Its this force that will carry him into the history books This new economic force will change everything about the way our countrys economy works. It will also reshape the worlds monetary flows for at least the next 50 years. And yes, to remind you, their ads take the safe route in assuming Obama is reelected, since that will get more 50-70 year old white guys mad and make them pay attention, but in other ads they also say that for this purpose it doesnt matter if Obama or Romney wins, their predicted big change will mean that the next president has unlimited power. We get a bit of a history lesson as Porter builds his argument:

whatever your politics, just consider this: Teddy Roosevelt was elected as a conservative Republican. His own party stood against his progressive ideas. Nevertheless, powered by a huge oil discovery Spindletop and a booming economy, the people of the United States began to demand their government do more and more things. Our sudden wealth and prosperity changed the political mood in the country. We were now rich enough to do more to help more people. And the government, thanks to its oil riches, could now take on big business and win. Its hard to believe how popular these views became and how they transformed Teddy Roosevelts presidency. He became almost a mythical figure the most popular sitting president the U.S. had ever seen. He was, in a way, more like a European dictator than a U.S. statesman. This power would eventually lead him to run for a third term something that had never been done before in 1912. where did this power come from? Why did Americans suddenly embrace a massively more powerful government, led by a charismatic demagogue? The answer is, of course, oil. The oil Spindletop produced changed the entire world forever. The massive increases in production dramatically lowered prices for oil around the world, enriching the lives of millions of consumers. Americans who backed Spindletop became some of the richest people in the world. Gulf Oil, Texaco, Amoco, and Humble Oil all trace their origins back to Spindletop. And then from Teddy on to Franklin Although many historians credit the New Deal FDR implemented for accelerating the recovery from the Great Depression thats looking at history through the lens backwards. What really happened is clear: The East Texas field created a tremendous amount of wealth. In the short term, lower oil prices caused a wave of economic disruption. But in the long term, it provided FDR with an immense amount of power allowing him to launch one socialist scheme after another to the overwhelming applause of the electorate. Whether you like it or not presidents who can garner the most economic power end up achieving the most political power. And at least for the last 150 years the root of modern economic power comes from the worlds oilfields. So how will Obama grab enough political power to re-write the U.S. Constitution and run for yet another term? Simple: I believe hell launch social spending program after social spending program. He will oversee the largest expansion of the welfare state in the history of our country. Hell launch new federal departments (something hes already done but will expand). Hell enrich thousands of his backers and impoverish his enemies all a scale never seen before in American history. How will all of this be possible? Oil. More oil than has ever been found before. So there you have the basic logic cheap oil allowed Teddy Roosevelt to build a progressive government, and Porter says, in not so many words, that the huge Texas oil fields that started production in the decades following

Spindletop enabled FDR to spend his way out of the Depression with dozens of big government spending programs, making him a beloved figure with unprecedented presidential power, and he thinks the same will happent to Obama. Were going to drop the presidential and political stuff right there. You dont care who I vote for, and I dont care who you vote for, the point is that someones supposedly going to start rolling in money thanks to this next oil boom, and, dangit, I want it to be me. So what should I do to prepare to profit? Thats where Stansberry heads with this idea, of course he may enjoy trying to be a political firebrand and want to build the libertarian movement, but peddling investment ideas and research is his raison detre. Heres some more from the ad: THE NEW REALITY OF OIL AND POLITICS IN AMERICA Far from being energy dependent, America is already a net energy exporter again. Its true. For the first time since the 1940s, the U.S. is exporting more refined petrochemical products than were importing oil. Thats mainly because were now able to produce natural gas so cheaply that the entire global chemical industry is re-locating here. For example, Bloomberg recently reported that Dow Chemical Co., the second-largest chemical manufacturer in the world, spent a decade moving chemical production to the Middle East and Asia. Now its leading the biggest expansion ever seen back home in the U.S. as shale gas revives the industrys economics. Yes, thanks to the Marcellus and the Fayetteville shales and the like, were producing lots and lots more natural gas and prices have been sticky at very low prices and thanks to the Bakken and the Eagle Ford and the like, oil production has also been rising in recent years for the first time in a long time (though the US has been one of the top few oil producers in the world every year for more than a century its just that weve consumed more than weve produced for a few decades). And Porter thinks that the glut that has crushed natural gas prices as a result of the shale finds is going to repeat itself with oil, and that gas will recover somewhat. Low prices will lead to vast new markets for our oil and gas all over the world. It will create hundreds of billions in profits, annually, for American oil and gas firms. It will lead to huge capital gains for investors. It will cause massive new investments in infrastructure like pipelines and refineries We have a road map for the coming changes to the oil market. All of these things have already happened with natural gas. The natural gas drilling boom began about 10 years before the oil boom. Prices for natural gas, as you know, collapsed in 2008. They havent really bounced back yet. Most people think the collapse in natural gas prices will last forever. Theyre wrong. Natural gas is being sold at prices that defy all logic based on history and its relationship to other forms of energy.

Historically, natural gas has sold for about 1/10th the price of oil. In the U.S. today, its trading for over 1/20th the price. This huge price discrepancy will resolve itself soon. When it does, billions of dollars will be made. Two things are happening, which will cause prices for energy to equalize. First, traders will find ways to export U.S. natural gas, moving supplies into foreign countries where the price is higher. And secondly, domestic consumers of energy will shift from using expensive sources (like diesel and coal) to vastly cheaper sources, like natural gas. So Porter argues that natural gas prices will recover soon, because of increased use and because so many gas wells were shut in and exploration halted with lower prices and added in to that are the things we hear about quite often, like the planned export of liquefied natural gas in a few years, and the conversion of much of our trucking fleet to natural gas engines. So that gives you some idea of the stocks he might be teasing in a few moments, once we work our way through some more of the presentation. Finally, then, after a few more pages of rabble-rousing about President Obama, we get to the part where we get to become rich so what are we supposed to do with our money to benefit from this new oil boom? FOUR WAYS OF MAKING A KILLING IN THIS BOOM WITHOUT TAKING BIG RISKS Theres a very stupid way to invest in the oil and natural gas boom. This is probably how your neighbors and friends will do it. They will hear about a big new oilfield (maybe like the secret one well tell you about below), and theyll buy shares of the company thats exploring it. Think about how this worked out for shareholders of Chesapeake during the natural gas boom. Remember, the natural gas boom is like our playbook for whats about to happen with oil. What you can see is, even though Chesapeake came from nothing to be the second-largest producer of natural gas in the U.S. (behind ExxonMobil), its share price got killed when the price of natural gas fell in 2012 and the companys finances were revealed to be weak. So thats reasonable enough betting on oil discoveries or small producers is dangerous enough anyway, but if you think that oil prices will fall with big new booms in production, there will probably be some Chesapeakes over on the oil side of the market as well. Stansberrys first pitch is for infrastructure: First, the very best way, I believe, to make a fortune in the ongoing energy boom is to invest in the infrastructure that must be built to move U.S. energy into global markets. This might sound boring at first. But believe me, some of the biggest gains in the history of the oil business came from the men who were smart enough to own the infrastructure required to get the oil and the gas to market. So whats the infrastructure for this? LNG shipping To ship natural gas around the world, it has to be converted into a liquid form, something called liquefied natural gas, or LNG. Once converted into a liquid, natural gas can be shipped via tanker, much like oil. But the big difference is LNG requires specialized, very expensive tanker

ships. And it requires huge import and export terminals. Building out these new ships and these new terminals will take at least a decade. And during that time, investors in the right assets will build huge fortunes. Like the investors who are smart enough to buy LNG tankers today. The worlds shipyards currently have more than 140 LNG vessels on order Luckily for regular, individual investors, a well-run company already owns one of the largest fleets of these highly specialized, expensive ships. It owns 27 ships, in fact, some of the largest in the world. Its engaged constantly in deals to acquire more ships, and it has dozens more on order. Im certain this stock is going to soar over the next few years. And heres the best part: The company boasts a current yield of 7.1%. So this first pick of his is Teekay LNG Partners (TGP), which does indeed have a yield of about 7% and interests in a big fleet of 27 LNG shipping tankers. You can see Teekays arguments for why to invest here[2] if youre curious basically, their positioning is as a long-term charter firm that has stable and predictable cash flows if LNG tanker rates triple in two years, theyre not going to benefit that much because their vessels are largely committed already, but they will keep paying out that 7% (and probably growing) dividend. I cant argue much against TGP, theyre the big player and theyre fairly conservative and well run as far as I can tell, and thats a good dividend Ive tended to prefer the more aggressive growers like Golar LNG (GLNG) and the new GasLog (GLOG), but thats probably just because I like a little excitement sometimes, those will both be substantially more volatile than TGP and neither has as high a yield. TGP is a MLP, so youll get the K-1 partnership filing stuff that some people hate, but that might also mean that you get some tax deferral depending on how their payments are structured (income versus return of capital). Their distribution doesnt look like its covered by income, but thats the case with most MLPs and many shipping companies, its largely because depreciation of their extremely expensive assets eats up much of the operating income but, in reality, consumes far less of their cash flow because pipelines and tankers have much longer economic lives than their depreciation rates would imply. Im not an accountant, thats just my big picture view the same goes for companies Ive owned in the past, including Seadrill (SDRL) and Golar, but I havent studied TGPs numbers specifically. Some other ideas from Porter? Or, as he puts it: I believe this shipping stock is one of the only sure things you can invest in today and make a bona fide fortune. What are the other sure things? Let it never be said that we dislike Sure things. So yes, Porter, what are they? we need LNG export terminals in the U.S. These terminals arent easy to build. Theyre gigantic operations. The terminals must cool huge quantities of natural gas to minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit. Only at these incredibly cold temperatures does natural gas turn into liquid form. Guess how many LNG export terminals are operating right now in the U.S.? None. Thats right. There arent any. None. And of the eight terminals currently being constructed only

one has the necessary license from the U.S. government to export LNG. So just imagine theres an incredible glut of energy in America and a huge demand for energy all around the world but right now theres only one toll bridge thats operating between these two markets. And its slated to begin operation in 2015, during Obamas second term. While theres some competition (not much) for LNG tankers, theres no competition currently for the LNG export terminal owner. No one else has a license. That makes it, probably, the single best company to own in the entire worlds energy complex today. the one company that has a license to export LNG will reap a fortune. Investors should buy the stock. Part of this is certainly political, since Porters argument is that the granting of licenses will continue to be a political patronage decision, so who knows when or whether anyone else will get a permit to export natural gas in the coming years building of LNG import facilities was a political football because of NIMBY concerns, and converting those facilities and therefore increasing tanker traffic (import traffic is understandably very low right now) would probably raise similar concerns and, of course, if natural gas prices spike legislators will scream bloody murder to avoid having winter heating bills climb for their constituents by exporting more nat gas. I have no idea what the upshot will be, but the second LNG export facility to start operating (theres a tiny one in Alaska that ships to Japan, they just restarted this Summer) will almost certainly be the one Porter is teasing, which is owned by Cheniere Energy (LNG). Cheniere Energy is indeed building out a LNG export facility (a liquefaction plant) out of their existing Sabine Pass import facility (a gasification plant) all of this is in partnership with their captive MLP, Cheniere Partners (CQP), which also owns the service pipeline that is now used to distribute gas from the import facility but will be used to move gas down to the liquefaction trains for their export facility. All of this is going to be incredibly expensive and the first phase doesnt go into operation for about three years, so Cheniere should have an interesting ride during that time they have to raise billions of dollars, and I presume that theyll do so largely through the MLP, but if theyre right about what will be the long-term price differential at the time when the export facility is in operation theyll still do quite well. The key question, I expect, is where there will still be a $10 price differential between seaborne LNG and domestic US natural gas in 2015 and 2020. I have absolutely no idea, but my suspicion is that this differential will narrow considerably during the coming decade partly because of this one export facility, but also for other reasons (more domestic consumption, more international discoveries and production). Unlike TGP or the shippers, my impression is that Cheniere is a long-term story stock without much of a real operating business at the moment, so like all story stocks I would expect very significant volatility since there wont be strong cash flows or anything like that to buttress the shares until they start to get close to operations at their export facility. There are certainly other LNG liquefaction facilities that are in the planning stages, so I expect the market to continue to evolve heck, if Golar is successful with their current developments they might even have floating liquefaction capacity coming online in 2015[3], too (though that, of course, would produce a lot less than a dedicated terminal). So if you think Porters right about his pitch both that LNG export will be major, and that Obama (or Romney, or the regulators) will be slow to grant largesse on other exporters, then Cheniere might indeed have a nice sustainable profit train hitting their books in 2015. There are enough moving parts to make me a bit nervous about that, and Im more interested in the LNG shippers right now even though theyll probably hit an equilibrium and possible oversupply next year as we wait for more liquefaction capacity to be built up to use this growing

LNG tanker fleet, but I could just be too cautious. Next? theres one more stock you ought to consider thats in the same line of work The build-out, around the world, of the infrastructure required to enable LNG distribution of natural gas will take a decade or more. All of those ships I mentioned theyre building the 140 new LNG tanker ships they will all require import-export terminals, pipelines, storage tanks, etc. The U.S. is the worlds largest market (today) for natural gas precisely because it has the best natural gas infrastructure. Our approach to energy will be copied, around the world. And this will require building vast amounts of new energy facilities. One company specializes in LNG infrastructure. Its the worlds leading LNG builder. It makes the terminals. It makes the pipelines. It makes the storage tanks. You wont be surprised to learn that this stock has already doubled in the last two years. But this is only the beginning. The rise in the stock so far doesnt even match the backlog of its business. This is my second sure thing way to invest in Americas energy boom. Its always safer to buy the companies that make the infrastructure than it is to buy the oil producers themselves. Or as we say around the office, someone has to make the barrels for all that oil. Well, if he had hinted at the leading supplier of LNG equipment, Id have to guess that his pick was Chart Industries (GTLS), which his analyst Frank Curzio had picked as one of his Eagle Diesel plays[4] earlier this year but since he said its the leading LNG builder, with terminals and pipelines, Id say he must be teasing Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI). That ones a bit of a guess, given the lack of specific clues, but I cant think of a second candidate who comes close as a publicly traded US stock. And CBI has gotten relatively inexpensive again over the last few months, after perhaps too much attention drove the shares up early in the year they trade at a forward PE ratio of 11 and analysts think theyll grow at a good 15-20% per year going forward, so that equation works out quite well for investors. If the growth happens. Ive personally been hoping that this one gets cheaper still its certainly much easier to buy than is Chart Industries, but with big contracting companies theres always the hope that theyll have a lousy contract or a big cost overrun that lets you buy the stock when its depressed. CBI remains on my one to watch list but Ive never owned it. So thats what Porters pitching these days as his plays for the second and third terms of the Obama presidency what do you think? No, not about whether Obamas arrogant, I dont care what you think about that what do you think about the new energy boom, and the potential for huge profits from the LNG export infrastructure buildout? Let us know with a comment below. Disclosure: I personally own shares of both Seadrill and Golar LNG, which are mentioned above. I have a small position in speculative call options on TGP. I dont own any other stock mentioned and will not trade in any of those stocks covered above for at least three days.

Dear Earl: Really, Obama wants to bankrupt the Country? Maybe we should again start to check his birth certificate to satisfy you and that Icon of egoism, Donald Trump. Thinking something rediculous is one thing but to actually put it in writing is astonishing. Reply Jerry Wilson says: November 7, 2012 at 3:28 pm He doesnt really want to but he will. He just has no other policy but his failing socialist control agenda. The Eco Nazis are no worry as they typically have no money, but Obama will try to reward his supporters in the energy industry (If he still has some) by unleashing contracts and leases toward them. To bad for Haliburton, but hopefully they are big enough to weather the storm and still be able to move forward Reply Larry Evans says: November 9, 2012 at 12:44 pm Obama cutting drilling leases on government land now makes sense. His excuse was because they werent drilling. When I heard him say that my response was So? What is the advantage to America for you to be holding the leases instead of private citizens that can actually drill when prices/conditions/research makes drilling profitable? He wants to either hand them out to his buddies (for a guy that thinks there are a lot of problems with Capitalism, he sure does like Crony Capitalism) or do like Porter says, to shake down (a la Jessie Jackson) the businesses. Bush and now Obama, Crony Capitalism is now official government policy.

I can see both sides of this argument. Yeah it doesnt really accomplish anything to have the leases held by the govt. On the other hand, having them revert to the govt allows the leases to be repriced at a fair valuation for the American people. Too much of the resource wealth of the nation is tied up in 75 to 100 year leases where private industry acquired rights when assets were considered to be of very little worth and then have continued to hold them at a tiny fraction of FMV based on some valuation performed in 1923 with the option to renew for ANOTHER 75 or 100 year term at the end of the lease. Allowing the lease to remain vacant until its commercially viable will ensure that when those leases are written at least the American public can expect to get something close to FMV for the asset in question. Basically Id rather have the leases vacant than exploited for 10,000% private sector profit.

Bob says: November 6, 2012 at 4:52 pm The key question, I expect, is where there will still be a $10 price differential between seaborne LNG and domestic US natural gas in 2015 and 2020. I have absolutely no idea, but my suspicion is that this differential will narrow considerably during the coming decade That is the major question, especially with the US late to the game, with numbers of LNG export companies already operational, from Indonesia, Australia, Russia, Qatar, Trinidad, and many more hurrying to get into the game (Canada). Like the US natural gas boom, the field will probably be vastly over-built, with the danger of translating a US gas glut into a world gas glut. Cheap energy could create another global industrial revolution, but it may not be all that good for natural gas and LNG investors.

Story still excellent, potential still very good, rising numbers of engines built, but they cant seem to get it together to turn that into big revenue or any kind of positive earnings. I still do wish that it would have been possible to buy just their incredibly successful Cummins Westport joint venture on its own years ago, thats my favorite part of their business.

curious as to where he was leading too. It was kind of scary to hear that Obama was going to become king. I have wondered myself about if Obama won, could he some how win a 3rd term or more, I always look down to Venezuela and Chavez and wonder could that happen here. All he needs is that 51% for which he has a perpetual 47% already. Scary.. Anyway, I created a paper portfolio of Porter NatGas plays last May consisting of 9 stocks (CBI, CHK, CLNE, GLNG, GTLS, HEK, LNG, TGP and WPRT). So far, that portfoli is down 2%. However up, CBI, CHK, and GLNG are up 11%, 15% and 21%. Unfortunately, i happen to own WPRT. Reply Lorne Cutler says: November 7, 2012 at 7:34 pm Do Americans know their own history. I understand that it was FDR who implemented the two term limit. In order to go back to 3 terms there would have to be a constitutional amendment. I fail to see how the Republicans would agree to that if meant Obama was running for a 3rd term. Politics in the States have gotten so ridiculous that people are making up stories out of nothing and then others are worried that they are fact. If you think the U.S. under Obama is the same as Venezuela under Chavez perhaps you should go down to Venezuela for a few months and try to run a newspaper or lead an opposition movement.

The third-term presidency theory stems from the supposition that there are at least three supreme court justices that will need replacements during the presidents term. If he can replace conservative justices with his more liberal supporters he could then petition for the repeal(?) of the 22nd amendment. Many pieces would have to fall into place perfectly for success of said effort. Reply Joe Krolikowski says: March 21, 2013 at 12:31 am Do Americans know their own history? Some do, including the fact that the 22nd Amendment was passed by the 80th Congress in 1947. During the Truman administration. This Congress was the body that Truman railed against as the so-called do-nothing Congress. The legislation was fully ratified and became the 22nd Amendment in 1951. Now the year 1947 would have been FDRs fourth term in office, as he was elected to it in 1944. However, his death in 1945 made Truman president. Overturning the 22nd Amendment requires passing a 28th, or higher numbered Amendment, if there are other issues up for amendment status. This involves a 2/3 majority vote of both the House and the Senate and ratification votes of 37 state legislatures. This is the only possible way Obama could get a 3rd term. It cannot be done by five Supreme Court justices. Consider the time scale involved in getting it done to match Stansberrys thesis. Does one really think that getting that many politicians on board an issue that quickly is actually possible? No one is really going to buy into the idea that a sudden catastrophe, or an economic boom is sufficient to making it happen. Reply 9.

I expect it will make money, just not too sure about the huge spreads lasting that long. Japan is planning to build a pipeline to Russia. Several of the old Soviet countries are negotiating to build pipelines to Europe. I have even heard plans for a pipeline across Myanmar/Burma. I can see a path for oil and gas to become plentiful and relatively inexpensive over the next ten years. Production costs should keep a bottom under things, but competition will keep a lid on them.

For these reasons and others, I expect the price differential between U.S. and foreign gas to lessen over time. For those who would like to do some research, here are some places to start.

Jerry Gant says: November 7, 2012 at 12:44 am Well, since it seems that Obama has been re-elected, much of the foregoing discussion may very well be wishful thinking or poppycock. Obama has vowed to kill coal, first, and second, will probably direct the EPA to abolish or disallow fracking. It seems that anything that would help make America energy independent is cotrary to the desires of the tree huggers, et al. Uranium is verboten since Fukishima and its not clear where the infrastructure to efficiently move LNG or CNG even within the US will come from. As mentioned earlier, the apparent intent to redistribute the wealth the US has seized without the consent of the involved countries will leave us with wind, solar, and hydroelectric power generation (and maybe tidal?). Instead of massive new wealth from this marvelous new source of energy and productivity, we may be heading further into a downward spiral.

However, other countries will get into the gas export game, which will keep prices from rising significantly. So the only play that makes sense to me is CBI. They will benefit no matter who sells gas to whom for how much. Reply Gideon says: November 12, 2012 at 3:21 am Is fracking considered eco-friendly ?

November 7, 2012 at 8:50 am So far Porter would seem to be correct about the Presidency, so step one out of the way the questions becomes catching the cycle at the right time to profit. Buying now for a 2015 to 2020 growth spike in LNG is a little dicey, so much can happen within that projected time frame. My perspective is that the most immediate profit opportunity probably lies in the building of the expensive and complicated facilities needed worldwide to facilitate LNG import and export and I long ago identified Chicago Bridge % Iron as the most likely candidate to benefit. For people like myself with very limited capital my inclination is to buy LEAPS option on a down day in the markets to get the best price. Have not checked prices at time of writing but will probably put in a stink bid hoping to catch an intra-day low but advocate patience, slow days around the holidays might be a good time to catch a bargain.

Its the Kenai LNG facility, in Nikiski, AK, processing gas from fields in the Cook Inlet. Some folks are chattering about building big plants to process North Slope gas in the future, but thats mega-billions and years away. Kenai is owned by ConocoPhillips (COP) and is small and old. Reply 24. Forrest says: November 7, 2012 at 4:07 pm Another major new technological development is floating LNG plants. These are basically very large ships, so large they dwarf the largest LNG carriers. They anchor over an offshore gas field and process natural gas to LNG, store it onboard, and load it on to LNG carriers. These will also compete globally. So the likelihood of keeping a $10 price differential between US domestic natural gas and exported gas to Japan, Korea, and China (where the price differential exists now) is low. Reply 25.

This feeble brain would argue that the enemies of capitalism are the extreme greedy who create a fertile ground for recession, depression, a dollar collapse, martial law, and dictatorship. And that Obama can only help save capitalism by putting strong regulations on the extreme greedy. Those that invest in people and industries that produce products that can be sold should be taxed at a far lower rate than those that invest in a computer program that buys and sells on small variations without regard for the product the company sells. In other words a variable transaction tax coupled to the number of transactions per day. 1 transaction per minute = 1% tax on both profit and loss. This is just one aspect of a philosophy that aims at directing money towards companies and away from extreme speculators.

The factors that control a market are greed, fear, cooperation, and control. Today the dominating factor is fear. Before 2007 the dominating factor was greed. Without control greed and fear will alternate and cause greater and greater inefficiency in the marketplace. Better to control the extreme greedy so that growth is moderate. Then the fearful wont have as much to fear. And possibly the dollar crashing .Marshall Law ,Dictatorship will not happen. Remember too that the current situation is also the result of spending borrowed money. Reply 34. Darrell Reid says: November 24, 2012 at 3:08 pm I agree the correct assertion would be the institution of MARTIAL LAW.this is possible and perhaps inevitable in view of the arrogant propensities of our current Elitist President.but installing himself as Third Term or more President would initiate REVOLUTION and upheaval of the severest kindnot something Americans would enjoy or tolerate. Perhaps the latest ploy by the International Bankers recently hatched in Basil Switzerland mandating return to the GOLD STANDARD and abandonment of FIAT Currencies will effect such massive economic upheavals that Obama could use EMERGENCY Powers available to him to achieve additional time in office.not an unlikely attempt by a personality such as his. Time will tell.the old Chinese curseMay you live in Interesting Times could be vested on us!!!!! Reply Vic Bowman says: November 26, 2012 at 4:25 pm The Spindletop discovery was in 1901. Reply 35. Joe Murphey says: November 26, 2012 at 11:51 am Does anyone else wonder about the history here? Teddy was president in the first decade of the century. He tried again in 1912 for the Republican nomination and lost to Taft. Spindletop didnt come until well after the War I. the Republicans in office then were Harding Coolidge, and Hover. I dont think that it helped any of them. Besides, the state of Texas invented the railroad commision to regulate the price of oil by simply introducing production allowables. Louisiana followed suit for their coastal waters. Nonsense. A real libertarian would have a totally different take on this. Reply 36. maurice karnaugh says: November 26, 2012 at 11:52 am

Obamas Third Term Stansberrys Secret Plan to Retain Power Through 2020 | Stock Gumshoe

Stansberrys heavy handed exploitation of fear of SOCIALISM! and Obama hatred makes a very short story into a long one. It cannot disguise the shallowness of his economic analysis. I have no idea whether his special reports would be any better. Reply Jake says: November 26, 2012 at 8:01 pm I agree with you Maurice, Stanberry attempts to exploit socialism, but it may be because his knowledge of socialism is as shallow as his knowledge of American history. To attempt to turn Obama into a Progressive Democrat is laughable. He is a conservative to moderate Democrat whom Progressive Democrats like very little. Reply David A says: January 21, 2013 at 8:42 pm Its a free country do what you want. His advice (Porter) S) is the ONLY financial advice I trust and I have done very well following it. For each his own- that is why we call it America! Reply 37. mark andrews says: November 28, 2012 at 3:52 pm Porter is a crook and in my eyes always will be see the lawsuit link http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/comp18090.htm He used politics just to get peoples attention I would never by anything he is selling (but it might make a good short)! Reply 38. Chris Roveto says: November 29, 2012 at 10:49 am Several things to think of: @ Obama has regularly gone around the constitution & congress with Executive orders. Voila! Third term. @ He surrounds himself with flaming leftists and whale chasers but deep down his roots are old style Chicago politics a la Daley with big time graft. They cant resist the money because thats where their power comes from. @The Keystone pipeline was blocked specifically to benefit Warren Buffet who owns UNP railroad which currently ships most of the oil in tank cars from ND to the gulf.

Reply Chris Roveto says: November 29, 2012 at 10:54 am Also I forgot to thank Travis for this interesting blog which provides a counter-point to all those newsletters advertised on money news and elsewhere. I was actually looking for Stanberrys Newsletter after seeing his video on this subject. Luckily Duck Duck Go search engine came up with Travis Johnsons site first! Reply 39. Mike says: December 3, 2012 at 2:37 pm How will any of this new found wealth affect Social Security and Medicare? Will the increased tax revenue be put to shoring up these entitlements or will it be wasted on more of Obamas Solindra debacles? Reply 40. James says: December 20, 2012 at 7:56 pm Im writing from my fallout shelter, wiping canned cat food from my lips, because Stansberry told me the US dollar would collapse last year. Is it safe to come out yet? Are the riots over? If Stansberry says we have more oil and natural gas and energy than the sun, it must be true. Count me in! Reply 41. Melanie Loomis says: December 30, 2012 at 4:42 pm I have yet to hear any comment on the very end of this Stansberry report which advises buying bonds instead of stocks. The recommendation was to invest in the assets themselves instead of buying the stock. Any thoughts?? Reply 42. gtminer says: December 31, 2012 at 9:11 pm Hey, WAIT JUST A MINUTE, boys and girls. My wife is over joyed that I have found out that Mr Stansbury may have gone over the top a bit and we wont have to move into a fallout shelter. Now that I have been on this blog for a few days I was hoping this would be my new source of accurate info. But alas, I am seriously bummed to see that someone thinks Spindletop came along AFTER WWI. PLEASE

say it isnt so. Reply Murphey says: January 1, 2013 at 9:04 am Youre right, Spindletop came in 1901. My error. A quick check of Wikipedia indicates that it came in in 1901, had two peak years, and then coasted until 1917, when secondary discoveries really kicked it off again. Idrecalled the Railroad Commission evolution which stuck to regulating railroads and segregation until 1917 when it got into pipelines. But the real regulation of crude prices didnt start until 37. It set up allowables in order to protect production in the West Texas fields when several additional East Texas discoveries added to Spindletop. The Railroad Commission got the job (whose objective was to prop up a Texas product) in 1937 when there was some concern tha the Feds might. And there was a national view to keeping oil prices high (in order to support coal). Funny though,, when the Feds got into regulating gas, the effect was to suppress prices thus collapsing the coal industry in the western US for a time Reply 43. gtminer says: January 1, 2013 at 11:50 am Thanx J Murphey, Im relieved and amen Chris, I love this web site. Thank you Travis Reply 44. Eyes Glazed Over says: February 13, 2013 at 3:02 am Let us hope Mr Stansberry is never hired as a speechwriter or pastor. He has to be the most boring, longwinded come-on-artist I have ever heard. Jeeze-Louise Porter, learn to sum up man! Reply
