Why You Don't Need $10 Billion to Make Deals Like Warren Buffett

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

A chief perk of Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK.A) recent $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) is the fat 8% dividend.

There's a catch to receiving it, though: you have to be Warren Buffett. But there's a very similar, overlooked energy investment that can provide any investor the same perks as Buffett's Occidental strategy.

The Two Best Energy Stocks to Buy in April

By , Money Morning -

Rising oil prices have a positive impact on the price of energy stocks. This is especially true for producers and transport companies that bring supply downstream to the refineries. The higher the price of oil, the more the reserves are worth on an exploration and production firm's balance sheet. And the higher the price of crude, the more fees midstream companies can collect for the transportation and storage of crude oil.

Right now, investors are searching for the best energy stocks to buy right now. To find these companies, we tapped into the Money Morning Stock VQScore™ system. This proprietary system tracks only the world's most profitable companies and assigns them a score based on the probability that their share price will shoot into the stratosphere. A score of 4 or better puts the stock in our "Buy Zone," signaling this is the time for investors to acquire shares.

Today, we'll look at the two best energy stocks to buy in April...

The 3 Best Energy Dividend Stocks to Buy in March

By , Money Morning -

Over the last month, oil prices have remained relatively steady after their 31% run up from late December to mid-February. This is largely attributable to the United States adding more supply to the market.

But every day, it seems like there are new concerns about global economies. No Brexit plan is in place despite this month's fast-approaching deadline. China has slashed its 2019 economic growth outlook. The ECB reduced its growth expectations last Thursday. And on Friday, the U.S. Labor Department released a chilling jobs report that fell well short of economists' expectations.

All these factors could weigh negatively on the price of oil. But despite these challenges, oil prices are poised to move higher in 2019 and 2020. Today, we're going to explain why oil prices will move higher in 2019 and 2020 - and give you the three best energy dividend stocks that are poised to break out according to the Money Morning Stock VQScore™ system.

5 Energy Stocks That Pay You to Invest in Crypto Mining

crypto mining

You can't easily invest directly in crypto mining, but several energy stocks offer a convenient backdoor to this growing industry.

Crypto mining, particularly Bitcoin, consumes a tremendous amount of electricity. Today Bitcoin mining uses as much electricity as the entire nation of Hungary.

And as China grows more hostile to crypto mining, the big operators are moving to other areas that offer cheap and abundant electricity.

These five energy stocks are the first in line to benefit from this transition...

southern company stock

Fortune ranks the Southern Co. as one of the "World's Most Admired Companies in 2017," but Southern Company stock is losing its luster after a $7.1 billion coal plant flop.

Over seven years ago, Southern Co. (NYSE: SO) took a gamble on "clean coal" by building a state-of-the-art clean coal power plant in Kemper County, Mississippi.

But that clean coal gamble could hurt SO's stock price in 2017...

As Another Sector's Sails Lose Wind, Watch This One Barometer

By , Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt -

One by one, the bubbles are bursting...

First it was the commodities bubble that blew up in mid-2014, which caused the collapse of energy and commodity stocks -they are now down between 40-80%.

It also caused the end of the corporate credit bubble in high yield bonds and bank loans over the second half of 2014 and into this year.

Then the Chinese stock market, which had gone parabolic early this year, collapsed, sending global markets into a tailspin this summer.

crude oil price

To hear some tell it, energy investments are a disastrous move, given the volatile global economy and low oil prices.

But they couldn't be more wrong. In fact, there's more than $1 trillion up for grabs in the energy investing sector. This might well be the best time to invest, even if prices go lower from here.

This is what you need to know before everybody else wakes up...

What Is a YieldCo?

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

If you follow alternative energy stocks, the question of "What is a YieldCo?" has probably come up at some point over the past couple of years.

That's because YieldCos have become popular in the green energy industry as a way to raise relatively cheap capital to finance new projects while setting up a revenue stream from finished projects.

For investors, YieldCos offer several advantages. This is particularly true for income investors...
