PoliticsRe: Buhari Presidential Campaign In Uyo A Big Flop Could Not Fill A 5000 LGA Stadium by atlwireles: 6:21pm On Jan 07, 2015
ujoinme:
APC is welcome to campaign in Akwa Ibom But we wonder what they are going to tell Us here in Akwa Ibom:

1).Is it that they will build us roads? Akpabio has built 350 roads in Akwa Ibom has completed 1900km and more are under construction.A record that no Nigerian governor past or present has achieved in 7.5yrs in the history of this great country.

2a) will they tell us about bridges? we will turn around and say But the PDP government has built us 38 bridges and 5 flyovers in 7.5 yrs. thereby opening up our state for investments as there are now access roads to all LGAs in the state.

2b).Is it electricity? Akpabio has completed Ibom power plant that generates 191MW of electricity to the national grid and is currently expanding it to 600MW capacity, If states were allowed to generate electricity for their personal consumption without passing through the National grid. The 191MW Akwa Ibom Currently generates will be more than enough for the whole state.
Besides this Akpabio has successfully collaborated with The FG and Mobil exxon Who are building a 500MW gas fired plant at QIT ibeno as we speak.
The govt of PDP has attracted private investor SEVEN ENERGY and SEPTA petroleum who have built and is currently processing 200million cubic ft of gas daily at Uquo, gas processing plant in Esit Eket. Thereby making our state able to supply adequate gas to fire our Ibom Power plant Alscon and also supply gas to the IPP in calabar and Unicem in calabar.

3). Are that going to tell us About Education? The PDP administration has instituted free amd compulsory education in the state and has built 4000 classroom blocks in 7 yrs and has also built a bi- campus state university that will graduate its first set 2015. and the FG has also established a federal Polytechnic in Akwa Ibom State.

4) Are they going to tell us about building us ports? The brand new Akwa Ibom international Airport is already functional and received the APC leaders Aircrafts when they came calling, The Ibaka deep seaport And Export processing zone is on course having recently passed all the FG evaluation and economic viability test and is set to be approved by the FEC for funding

5) Are they going to tell us about corruption? and we will look at their leaders in Atiku and Tinubu and scream these are the two most corrupt Nigerians in the history of corruption that we know, And we will ask How will these corrupt leaders stem out corruption in Nigeria?

6)Will they tell us about poverty in the land ?and we will tell their leaders that Akwa Ibom people were poorer when Gen. Buhari was the president of Nigeria, And we will ask, what new ideas has general buhari gained since then that will make Akwa Ibom people richer, And we will equally ask him to list the projects he sited in Akwa Ibom When he was in charge of PTDF where 80% of his projects were sited in the North even though 99% of the funding for PTDF was from SS.

7)Will they tell us about change? we will tell them that Akwa Ibom people have never seen the kind of uncommon transformation that we have witnessed in the past 10yrs under PDP.

We welcome APC to Akwa Ibom but it will be extremely difficult for them to get votes in Akwa Ibom Because they have no track record to campaign in Akwa Ibom And our people know that APC has no Agenda for Nigeria besides screaming corruption when indeed their leaders are the personification of Corruption.

Has PDP solved all the problems in Akwa Ibom? NO! but because of the track record of PDP in AKS we trust them to do more in the coming years and address issues they have been thin on,than vote a party that has no track record of accomplishing anything on ground in Our dear state.

PoliticsRe: Investors Freak As Saudi Inaction Could Sink Oil To $20 A Barrel. Time To Buy? by atlwireles(op): 8:44pm On Jan 06, 2015
But eventually, the gig will be up. Rigs are already being mothballed, hedges will roll off, supplies will tighten, WTI discounts to Brent will shrink, bankruptcies and defaults and consolidations will occur, and the price of oil will go back up again. Said Naimi, “The bet is about the timing of the price rise, not about if it will occur.”

So back to that advice for betting on oil. If you like individual holdings, now would be the time to start assembling a basket (I would go with APC, EOG, CLR, PXD and CVX) and dollar-cost averaging into a position with eyes wide open to the likelihood that prices still have a ways to fall. An easier way to do it: dollar-cost average into a good mutual fund. I like Vanguard Energy Fund (VGENX) with its no load and 38 basis points in annual fees. Good luck.

PoliticsRe: Investors Freak As Saudi Inaction Could Sink Oil To $20 A Barrel. Time To Buy? by atlwireles(op): 8:43pm On Jan 06, 2015
Naimi declared that this is absolutely a battle for market share. It’s unfair, he said, to expect OPEC, the lowest-cost producer, to reduce output, when there are so many higher cost barrels in the world especially on the margins of America’s tight oil plays. Some U.S. shale oil is economic at $20, he said, but much more requires $80.

Said Naimi: “Is it reasonable for a highly efficient producer to reduce output, while the producer of poor efficiency continues to produce? That is crooked logic. If I reduce, what happens to my market share? The price will go up and the Russians, the Brazilians, U.S. shale oil producers will take my share.”

Oil companies worldwide have already cut their capital spending and drilling budgets. Considering that conventional oil fields decline in production by about 6% a year, on average, while shale oil wells decline 50% in their first 6 months, it is only a matter of time before supply and demand come back into balance.

There could be a lot more pain before then because many cash-strapped petro-states and highly leveraged oil companies need all the dollars they can get, regardless of how much oil they need to sell to get it.

Iraq’s output is growing fast and will keep growing because Baghdad (and Erbil) need cash to defend and rebuild their country.

Likewise, Russia is pumping more oil than at any time since the fall of the USSR — and will keep it up at any price above operating costs (which are far higher than Saudi and Iraq, btw) in order to bring in the hard currency it needs to prop up its Potemkin economy.

Cash-strapped Venezuela and Iran are in the same boat.

And it’s no different with most American drillers. As long as a well has already been drilled and fracked, the capital sunk into the ground, it will be allowed to keep flowing, because the company that owns it needs to generate whatever cash it can to keep creditors at bay.


As for financially stronger producers, many of them still have price hedges in place, whereby their financial counterparties are paying them $20 or $30 more than spot for their oil — giving them the incentive to just keep drilling.

According to the U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration, even as drilling budgets are slashed, U.S. oil production should continue to grow this year, surpassing 10 million bpd.
PoliticsRe: Investors Freak As Saudi Inaction Could Sink Oil To $20 A Barrel. Time To Buy? by atlwireles(op): 8:41pm On Jan 06, 2015
Much of the value of these American companies is in their flexibility to tailor their drilling programs to prevailing prices. It used to be that big oil companies had to invest billions of dollars over several years in massive projects before they could start getting oil out of the ground. But the shale oil boom has changed that. These companies, and many others, now have lots of options and can quite quickly ramp up or dial back drilling operations in response to prices.

It used to be that OPEC controlled the world oil market while Saudi Arabia was the designated swing producer. But with the rise of new American oil, that has changed. Henceforth, it will be American oil producers that supply the world’s marginal, high-priced barrels, and American producers that will need to have the discipline (without collusion of course!) to keep from over drilling.

This reality hasn’t quite been accepted by oil companies still waiting for OPEC to take action and cut its own production. Which is why oil prices (and stocks) likely have another big leg down from here.

How far? At least $40. Maybe even $20.

But don’t take my word for it.

Two weeks ago, while most of us were getting merry and happy, the Middle East Economic Survey landed an exclusive interview with Saudi oil minister Ali Naimi. (I encourage everyone with an interest in oil markets to read the full interview for free here.)

In the interview, Naimi said in no uncertain terms that neither the Kingdom nor OPEC has any intention to cut production. He said that Saudi production costs are no more than $5 per barrel, and that marginal costs of development are “at most” $10 per barrel.


Thus, Naimi said, “As a policy for OPEC, and I convinced OPEC of this [...] it is not in the interest of OPEC producers to cut their production, whatever the price is.” He added: “Whether it goes down to $20, $40, $50, $60, it is irrelevant.”
PoliticsInvestors Freak As Saudi Inaction Could Sink Oil To $20 A Barrel. Time To Buy? by atlwireles(op): 8:40pm On Jan 06, 2015
OPEC is not going to come to the rescue. It is up to American producers to cut oil supplies.

The world freaked out over oil Monday. U.S. crude fell as low as $49.77 a barrel, down about 6%. Brent crude is at $53. This is the lowest price since early 2009, when oil bottomed at $35 less than nine months after hitting a record high of $147.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 331 points Monday. Many reports have blamed oil for the stock market weakness, but that doesn’t really make much sense. All else equal, low oil prices are a boon to economic growth. And besides, considering how high the Dow has risen, 330 points just ain’t what it used to be — merely a 1.8% move. Back in 2008 the Dow suffered 11 days with losses of 4% or more.

Indeed, it’s the pain being borne by energy investors that is dragging down the market. Energy makes up about 10% of the large-cap universe. Yesterday the average energy company was off 4%. Weaker, debt-saddled companies fared far worse. Swift Energy was down 18%, SandRidge Energy fell nearly 13% and Halcon Resources lost 10%.

When a commodity falls 50% in price so quickly, bargain hunters emerge. On Monday a self-described “degenerate gambler” and Forbes staffer asked if now was the time to take a flyer on USO — the United States Oil Fund exchange traded fund that ostensibly tracks oil prices — in expectation of an eventual upturn.

No, I told him. Don’t buy USO. In fact, if I’m going to bet on oil, that ETF is the last thing I’d buy. It makes far more sense to buy shares in the companies that produce it, for the simple reason that a leveraged commodity producer’s earnings modulate with a greater amplitude than the swings in the price of their underlying commodity. In other words, oil company shares tend to be more volatile than oil itself.

Look at the five-year or 10-year chart on the USO fund, and compare it with those of three champions of the American oil boom: EOG Resources EOG -4.35%, Pioneer Natural Resources PXD -1.28%, and Continental Resources CLR -4.1%. In good times the ETF has lagged on the upside. And in bad times, like recently, it has lost even more than those other companies’ shares.


If you’re thinking about buying into this market, you want to own well run companies with low-cost core acreage in the best oil fields. Because once this era of oil price volatility is over and the market returns to a new normalcy it will be American tight oil producers that assume the role of “swing producers,” bringing stability to the market.
