Alberta Royalty Law comment
2007-11-20 22:29:00 Everyone by now knows of the Alberta Royalty Review Panel's report released in September and the negative effect it had on the shares of companies working in the oil sands sector. Buried within the report is an important fact which should be noted. Syncrude (Canadian Oil Sands underlying asset) may have legal recourse if the royalty rate is raised due to its having signed a ?Crown Agreement' which fixes royalties until 2015.

Och-Ziffs not-so-zippy IPO
2007-11-20 17:14:00 "As the saying goes on Wall Street: 'You're only as good as your last deal.'" Amazingly, Och-Ziff was able to raise $1.15 billion in its offering yesterday after alternative investment manager IPOs have not faired so well (see Fortress Investment Group (FIG) and Blackstone (BX). This deal is actually one of the largest IPOs for the year. Revenues have been growing quite well. For the first nine months of 2007, revenues were $731.8 million, up from $661.5 million in the same period a year ago. Assets under management are about $30 More About: Financial , Zippy
Thain to Take Top Post at Merrill
2007-11-20 17:14:00 John Thain , CEO of NYSE Euronext, has agreed to take the top post at brokerage house Merrill Lynch & Co., according to a person familiar with the matter. The move is somewhat unexpected as many insiders on Wall Street were speculating Merrill Lynch's board would tap BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink. Mr. Thain was also rumored to be considering the top job at Citigroup to fill the spot of former Chairman and CEO Chuck Prince. But Mr. Thain has remarked in the past that he wasn't that interested in the Citi job, viewing it as a very difficu More About: Financial , Post

2007-11-19 22:44:00 FedEx shares fell as much as 5%, touching their lowest level since early 2006 as oil prices have shot the fuel prices up dramatically. "Since we provided earnings guidance for the second quarter in September, our fuel costs have increased more than 8 percent, or $85 million," Alan Graf, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said in a statement.

Sectors to watch as China Raises Oil Processing 12% to Meet Demand
2007-11-19 17:55:00 I believe this piece of news should be followed for possible beneficiaries off this move. I'm not a commodity trader, so I won't pretend to be able to call oil going to $50 or going to $100, but refined petroleum products in this case might benefit refiners and oil shippers. Refiner capacity is not just shorthanded in the U.S. where we haven't built a refiner in decades, but not enough refiners are being build worldwide to keep up with demand. According to comments made in the past by Valero, this means oil might be refined on one conti More About: Watch , China , Basic Materials , Meet , Demand

S&P 500, 1150 by the 2008 elections
2007-11-19 16:34:00 Alan Brochstein of AnalystforHire is predicting the Dow drops to 1150 by the 2008 elections. His thought is that we are in a bear market after an impressive five year run. He doesn't think it will last long, but it will hit hard, retracing at least ½ of the gains in the S&P 500. From trough to peak, the rally was about 800 points over those 5 years. He expects to see a total decline of 400 points or so over the next year and change. So far we have given up just over 100. The big catalyst for this drop, the housing market.

Wall Street Climbs Back Over 13,000 Mark
2007-11-16 18:39:00 Wall Street rebounded in early trading Tuesday after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. posted better-than-expected earnings and hinted that consumer spending might be stronger than anticipated this holiday shopping season. The world's largest retailer reported third-quarter profit surpassed Wall Street projections. The results also showed that heavy discounting during the period did not hurt margins, which the company said bodes well for the fourth quarter.

Agnico-Eagle Mines
2007-11-16 18:39:00 Agnico-Eagle is a strong mid-tier producer who will be ramping up production significantly over the next few years. Current projects are in mining friendly areas where the risk of seizure and problems are low. Recent mergers have left a gap in the mid-tier gold mining sector and Agnico-Eagle is well positioned to fill that gap. Longer term, a takeover by a much larger mining company is not out of the question. More About: Investment Ideas , Nico

Peyto Energy Trust
2007-11-16 00:58:00 They have large P&P reserves and strong tax pools in place which shields the dividend (yield of approx. 10%). The stock has been beaten down because of the tax and royalty changes but has shown some strength recently, rallying off its base. Natural gas spot prices will drive the stock price since production is fairly stable and high netbacks ensure the stability of my dividend. The natural gas producers fared best in the new royalty legislation from Alberta as the increase in royalty rates was less than forecast. More About: Energy , Investment Ideas , Trust
Barrick Gold 3rd Quarter summary
2007-11-16 00:58:00 Profits fell in the third quarter due to lower mineral grades mined in South America and Africa along with a higher cost for the ore mined. Production for the full year is estimated to be 8.1 million ounces at $350 /oz. With gold prices averaging $100 /oz. higher in the 4th quarter so far we can expect generous margin expansion going forward. Lower margin mines will be coming online in the next few years reducing operating cost pressure. More About: Gold , Basic Materials , Barrick , Summary , Quarter
