LNG information:

Return on Equity [ROE]........not rated.

Profit Margin......................-4.4%

Operating Cash flow............-15.26M

Price/Earnings [P/E ratio].....-5.6

Analyst Opinion................... No Strong buys. Only 2 Analyst listed.

Short % of Float.................. 28.9% [this is a really high number]


This stock [on paper] does not look good.......but it has made a good run [doubled in price] in the past 3 months. Would require more research to see if there is a "GOOD" reason or just speculation for why the stock has gone up.

Congradulations on your great buy.......but watch it closely, it could have a correction......the shorts are betting on it. Maybe the short's were bailing out today to cover their losses.

I just bought it because it was so cheap and so at $7 I have double my investment.

I usually like to buy long term stocks with good div/ but Im going to hold for a while on this one....... I will probably have to sell if it hits $15....just to much gain to lose

Natural gas has a big future in the US.
Oil stocks are supposed to go up too. Because I just got out after hitting a big profit.
My companies stock is going thru the roof...

rds-a

Went from $54 to $71 in the past 6 months with just one dip(that's when I got out).
When the markets went down last week, it went up.

LNG is going up 7% today..... I hope you got a lot of shares at $1 because you could bank some BIG BUCKS.....

Think I should sell at $14 if it gets there?

Jeremy, just trade with Stop Limits and don't worry about it. Back when I traded I would set stops based on the percentage I was willing to lose and as a stock ticked higher I would adjust it for average daily volatility. Stop Limits set a floor for total loss and also allow you to lock in a set gain.

I would only be in this stock as a trade play and that's it. US has something like 750 TCF of proven natural gas reserves. Current stock pop is based on a Dominican Republic deal that wouldn't actually flow until 2015 and that's assuming they can actually export domestic gas.

Enjoy the ride but set stop limits and enjoy your gain.

Put in a stop limit at say $8.00 or $8.25. If it hits $9 then move it up and keep following the trend. But if you have a stop limit then you know what your gain will be and you don't have to constantly watch it...

Stops cost every time you put one on. "W" keep an eye on how long you own a stock. You have to watch out for Short Term Capital Gains. Taxes will eat up your profit quick quick. A stop is a good safety device but to many people over use them they eat up your profit too.

LNG is the future. I am currently working a large Gas field in West Africa and there are TONS of gas reserves around the world. The number one thing killing the indusrty right now is a lack of LNG plants. The company I used to work for is in the process of making a floating LNG plant and it will work. Once that is off the ground it will open up lots of areas to future development.

While I agree with you on the stop limit, the price mentioned is much too close to the current trading price.....which could easily trigger a sale that you might not be ready to make.

Stops shouldn't cost you anything unless they are triggered. And at that point it is the same cost as what normally applies to a buy/sale transaction unless you are going through a broker. Taxes will definitely hit you, but W clearly stated he wasn't in this stock for long term so it was implied that cap gains would hit him anyway. I am no expert, but my background is risk and I am just making the suggestion that if you open a position you should immediately know what your max loss will be and you should have an implied target for a gain. I have watched too many people buy something, then have a huge (paper) gain, only to watch it go to nothing. If you're in a position short term, then take your gain and walk away - then use that gain to play the game again. The market is dominated by the big players, and high frequency traders, so take what it gives you.

As far as LNG is concerned, is may be a play, but I don't see it in the US, unless legislature is passed to allow for exportation of US gas beyond North America. People are finding nat gas everywhere they drill - and that's globally! I used to work for the Russians and their hope was that Russian gas would be exported to the US market by 2012. That was based on the assumption that US gas reserves were drying up and that Canadian gas was going to be diverted from US markets to growing demand areas in Canada. The amount of US cargoes actually received is laughable. The current market is Europe/Japan.

Just look at our recent weather if you want an indication. We've had a record cold spell and gas still can't break $4...
