The Oil Spill: Disasters and Opportunities

I find it uncomfortable to advise investors on how to make a profit in the aftermath of a tragedy. And the drama unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico is rapidly developing into just that sort of situation.

It has already led me to provide one alert - "Expect Transocean to Keep Going Down" (April 30) - pointing out a profit opportunity. And Transocean is hardly the only company to feel the heat from this widening disaster.

There are more opportunities emerging for the average investor, and I'll be providing some of them in a minute. However, first, we need to put this in its proper context.

The sinking of the Deepwater Horizon platform off the Louisiana coast has been, foremost, a human tragedy, with 11 dead. Round two is an environmental disaster, as a huge swath of ecologically sensitive coastline awaits the onslaught of the widening oil slick.

This disaster has single-handedly derailed an energy bill on Capitol Hill... prompted every governor considering offshore drilling to do an abrupt about-face... and revised how both public opinion and the market will look at oil production for years to come.

    As I know that when there is oil spill, cleaning up an oil spill of this size is both expensive and time consuming. Based on the statistics, there is about 10.5 trillion pounds of carbon emissions from U.S. Just imagine that if the demand increases, the Crude Oil Exploitation and the impact of environmental relating to Oil production will increase in the negative way. And this means that these impacts relating to the environment and greenhouse gases have rapidly evolved into political and social hot topics.
