InvestorIdeas.com Updates its List of Presenters for Upcoming Online Audio Conference Focused on Investing in Energy - Oil, Natural Gas, Tar Sands and More

Unexpected Refinery Repairs, the Upcoming Peak Driving Season, and Tensions in Nigeria Push Oil Prices Higher

www.InvestorIdeas.com announces its upcoming online audio investor conference that will consist of presentations from industry experts and participating public energy companies. The June 6th event titled, the ‘Future of Energy’, will address investment opportunities in oil, natural gas, tar sands and more. Presentations will begin 9:00 am EDT and the entire conference will be archived for a minimum of 90 days afterwards.

With the peak driving season only eight days away, oil prices have moved above $63 a barrel on fears that gasoline supplies within the United States will not be able to meet the demands of this summer due to unexpected refinery repairs and shutdowns. In addition, many experts anticipate that supply problems may be compounded as a result of the tensions in Nigeria. As prices are expected to remain high throughout the summer months, investors are keeping a close eye on the investment potential of oil and gas companies positioned to take advantage of the nation’s thirst for energy.

Investors can learn more about expectations for the energy sector at the upcoming oil and gas conference. Free registration is available at: http://www.investorideas.com/forums/Register.aspx

InvestorIdeas.com Investor Podcast “Shrewd Speculators” Provide Commentary on Investment Opportunities in Oil and Gas Stocks

E&P and Equipment Services Companies Remain Attractive Targets

http://www.investorideas.com/, a leading global investor and industry research resource portal specialized in sector investing news, stock directories and research links, presents the Shrewd Speculators; Market and Sector Commentary with Kevin Sylla and Eric Axel. In this segment the Shrewd Speculators take a look at oil and gas prices as we move throughout the spring and summer months and the impact this will have on the stocks in this sector.

While oil is currently trading around the $61 per barrel mark with the peak driving season and the impending hurricane season right around the corner, demand pressures are likely to increase.

As Eric Axel describes, “We have not reached a peak in gas prices because there are still problems with shut downs, with inventories which are still well below levels of a year ago, and as a result of the recent bombings in Africa. I do anticipate some choppiness coming into June and the summer months and I do believe that the price of gasoline currently is probably just a short term relief.”

Kevin Sylla is looking at energy intensive companies on the short side. “I am focusing on companies that use a significant amount of energy that might not have the price effect absorbed into their economic output going into the next quarter. So what I am going to be looking to do is to get on the short-side because 1) I do not think the market will hold up as well this summer and 2) if you can get involved in transport companies on the short-side there is some money to possibly be made there.”

Both speculators have their eye on the larger E&P companies who have been active recently with acquisitions and finding additional reserves. “While you may be able to potentially find weakness over the next few months due to what is happening globally especially in Africa and Iran, over the long term I believe that many E&P companies are still very attractive,” states Axel.

SylIa adds, “If you are not an investor that is comfortable in the short play I am always a believer that you cannot go wrong with the companies that do equipment, and servicing. At the end of the day they supply the drillers with the equipment to drill and basically no matter what happens these companies will be paid, so if you want to be on the safe side you can buy stock in these companies. Overall if you act prudently you can find certain gems within the marketplace; if you do not want to go short then you can go long E&P and service companies.”

Online Investor Oil and Gas Conference Looks at the Future of Energy, a Discussion on Trends and Opportunities in Oil, Natural Gas, Tar Sands and More

www.InvestorIdeas.com, and oil and gas portals www.OilandGasStockNews.com, www.NaturalGasStocks.com, announce its upcoming online investor conference on the ‘Future of Energy’ available June 6th, 2007, starting at 9:00 am EST and archived thereafter.

With the summer driving season just around the corner, the demand for oil is expected to continue to support high price levels. The upcoming summer months also mean an increase in the use of air conditioning, escalating the demand for natural gas. In both oil and gas the need for further exploration, development and production to increase domestic supplies have established a growing number of opportunities for companies operating in the energy sector.

DVD Growth in Brazil, Advances in Streaming Video and High Definition Formats Create Digital Media Market Opportunities

Industry Participants Internap, Netflix, Infosmart and USA Video Interactive Positioned for Continued Market Penetration Across Hardware, Content, and Storage Segments

www.DigitalMediaStocks.com, an investor and industry news portal for the digital media sector, reports on key growth areas within the digital media industry in DVD, high definition and streaming video. Infosmart Group, Inc. (OTC BB: IFSG), a global DVDR manufacturer, is working to capitalize on the rapid growth Brazil is seeing as the DVD format is only now being adopted in this developing region. In addition, advancements in streaming video and the availability of high quality downloads has opened the doors for many players such as Internap (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of integrated content delivery systems and USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTC BB: USVO), provider of video-on-demand and digital watermarking anti-piracy technology.

On the content side, positioned to benefit from continued demand for DVD movies and the eventual shift to high definition, is online movie delivery company Netflix.

While the format battle continues to dominate high definition circles, many companies have found significant market opportunity for DVD and recordable DVDs in developing markets such as Brazil.

According to Justin Davis, North American representative for Infosmart Group (OTC BB: IFSG), “Right now in Brazil you have 185 million people, 60 million TVs, but only 4 million DVD players. This mirrors exactly what we saw in the U.S. 5-7 years ago when most people were utilizing VHS and began transitioning from VHS into DVD. And now in North America basically everyone is using DVDs and most likely owns one or more DVD players. Brazil is at this transition stage right now and with this market only now becoming a viable option, it creates tremendous growth potential. Infosmart Group is positioned to take advantage of this opportunity through its newly opened facility called Infosmart Discobras.”

With the foothold that the existing standard continues to hold, Swasey sees DVDs as continuing to dominate. Netflix’s Steve Swasey, Director, Corporate Communications states, “We are a distributor and we are going to continue to send out the formats that movie studios continue to publish in and make that available to our customers. It is however a DVD world and will continue to be for five to ten years at least for several reasons. DVDs are ubiquitous and with the advent of the HD DVD and Blu-ray, it is still the most popular way of getting entertainment today.”

Thanks to high profile sites such as YouTube, streaming video has become a high growth and viable channel for content distribution that many feel could change the face of consumer entertainment through the availability of high quality downloads. The Internet has been a key contributor to the growing level of digital content now available, however with this surge has come an escalated amount of video and movie piracy, reaching global levels exceeding $18 billion.

Patrick Gregston, Sales Manager with USA Video Interactive Corp (OTC BB: USVO) explains, “What makes the digital era different is the speed and quality of what anybody can do, so the threats are multiple, and within the means of millions and with the surge of companies now distributing and selling video content over the Internet, piracy issues have become a greater concern than ever before.”

With the ability to digitally watermark content as it is being distributed over the Internet using the Company’s SmartMarking technology (MediaEscort™), USVO is positioned to take advantage of this fast paced delivery channel as they secure the rights of the content producers and distributors.

Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of choice for the world’s elite businesses on the Internet, through their recent acquisition of VitalStream, has extended their reach into the rich media content streaming delivery business and is turning the growing demand for online video content into a high growth business from an advertising perspective.

In addition to the continued strength of the DVD market and the rise in popularity of streaming video, it is difficult to deny the opportunities associated with the inevitable shift to a high definition viewing experience. Evidence that consumers are beginning to move towards high definition is seen in the rising sales of HDTVs.

In addition to the continued strength of the DVD market and the rise in popularity of streaming video, it is difficult to deny the opportunities associated with the inevitable shift to a high definition viewing experience. Evidence that consumers are beginning to move towards high definition is seen in the surging sales of HDTVs which are equipping many of today’s consumers with technology to take advantage of high definition media, with expectations that this pattern will continue to grow at escalating rates.

According to Adam Thomas, Media Research Manager with Informa Telecoms & Media and author of: 'HDTV: A Global Analysis', "We are forecasting pretty strong growth for high definition TV, with more than 150 million HDTV homes worldwide expected by the end of 2011 – which is more than three times the number at present. The US has 28 million HD homes at the moment and we are expecting that to rise to 63 million over the next five years.”

Interest Builds for Mining Stocks Following Publication of GFMS Gold Survey 2007

The conference currently features 6 well-known industry speakers and over 20 mining/resource companies including Keynote Kinross Gold Corporation.

The online educational investor conference is themed: “Mining and Resources: Perspectives on gold, silver, copper, diamond, uranium, metals and other key mining segments”. Presented by industry experts and management from public companies, the format will consist of audio and Power Point or Flash presentation, averaging 15-20 minutes. The online audio conference will be made live the morning of April 18th and stay open and archived for a minimum of three months thereafter, giving investors long term access to the information.

Investor interest in the sector was fuelled by new data and forecasts released April 4th by GFMS precious metals consultancy, specialising in research in the global gold, silver, platinum and palladium markets. GFMS predicts an investor led rally in gold in 2007 due to geo-political tensions and concerns. “GFMS see this upside potential as being firmly in the hands of investors” according to the report.

Excerpt from GFMS Report, Philip Klapwijk, Chairman: “I’d also be far from surprised if this year we saw the market moving above the 2006 high of $725. Quite whether we’d then get close to the all time high of $850 is more doubtful, but I’d certainly expect the upward price trend to continue on into 2008.” Full Report: http://www.gfms.co.uk/Press%20Releases/GS07_Overview.pdf

What a difference a day makes in the market - Following the Fed the market reacted strongly to the upside with the Dow Jones industrial average up 156.86 points, (1.28 %), at 12,444.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index up 23.67 points, (1.68 %) at 1,434.61, The NASDAQ Composite Index up 47.71 points, (1.98 %) at 2,455.92.
Our site sometimes sees a trend before it happens and felt some of the pain in the market prior to the big drop in the Dow and then saw things gain momentum online before todays reaction .
Retail investor activity tells an interesting story if you listen.
The biggest thing we see, like the market, is how global and reactive the markets have become and investors think more short term than long term based on input from data. We think the smart investors think long term and wait out the short term volatility and market scares we have just felt to see better days like - today !

InvestorIdeas.com Adds New Investor Podcast- “Shrewd Speculators”; Market and Sector Commentary
Introductory "Shrewd Speculators” Podcast, with Kevin Sylla and Eric Axel; Discuss Mining, Oil and Gas Sectors

www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research resource portal specialized in sector investing news, stock directories and research links, has added a new Investor Podcast to its growing audio content. The launch of Shrewd Speculators; Market and Sector Commentary with Kevin Sylla and Eric Axel, opens the series with a discussion on the market, focusing in on mining and oil and gas sectors.
With the focus on global warming increasing as the awareness of the damage caused through the burning of fossil fuels has become apparent, uranium stocks have benefited as the bid for nuclear power strengthens.
Eric Axel describes, “The run for many uranium stock prices has been enormous, on average between 80-100%, and with uranium companies expanding I think there is still a run left in them. You do need to be selective and this of course always goes back management.”

Looking to the oil market both ‘speculators’ have a positive outlook on the sector. “I am very bullish on oil for several reasons. I think the geopolitical uncertainty and the nearing U.S. election will drive prices north of $70 per barrel. Short-term I think pure oil plays will continue to do well going into the summer. As an investor I would look for oil and gas service companies as my number one priority,” states Kevin Sylla.

The audience is invited to submit questions to the Shrewd Speculators for response in future podcasts. Please email all questions through: speculators@investorideas.com

Shrewd Speculators ( www.investorideas.com/ss/ ) hosts include Kevin Sylla, who currently serves as the Special Situations Director at Bathgate Capital Partners LLC (www.bathgatepartners.com), an innovative investment bank focused on providing comprehensive services to underexposed and undervalued micro cap companies.

Eric Axel is the Director of Special Situations with Perrin, Holden & Davenport (www.phdc.com), a full service brokerage and investment banking firm located in New York City.

Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) www.safepassage.org

If we are to believe the saying “you are what you eat”, then the families living in the Guatemala City dump are garbage. As we live our lives of manicured lawns and manicured nails in North America, the families of the Guatemala City dump wake up in huts built of cardboard or tin, landscaped with garbage and find their daily survival needs within the layers of the city dump.
Never before imagining leaving the boundaries of smell and decay, the children and families have been given a light of hope through Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) www.safepassage.org. The dream of empowering children and creating change through education started with founder Hanley Denning, who was tragically killed in a car accident in January 2007. Her vision of “creating opportunities and dignity through the power of education “lives on in the faces and the hearts of the children at Camino Seguro.
Thanks to my sister and niece (Darcy and Chelsea) who recently volunteered at the organization and fell in love with the children for bringing the cause to our attention.

Labelled the Wall Street Whiz Kid, Grandich gained national notoriety by being among the very few who not only forecasted the 1987 stock market crash just weeks before it happened, but on the very next day he predicted that within a year the market would reach a new all-time high – which it did. Proving his 1987 forecast was no fluke, Mr. Grandich said in January 2000 that the year 2000 will go down as the year the great mega bull market of the 80s and 90s came to an end.

Jon Nadler

Mr. Jon Nadler's precious metals career encompasses 30 years of extensive client asset management, metals market analysis, and direct metals sales experience.

For investors following oil sands stocks

As the oil and gas sector goes thru its ups and downs with the price of oil and new energy sources such as renewable and green tech are looked at - some oil industry analysts love the prospects of the oil sands stocks.

With environmental concerns being an issue see how the players are adjusting and track what is happening in some of the stocks drilling and buying properties in the sector.

According to a recent article in the Globe:

"Oil sands woes will be resolved, energy board says
DAVID EBNER
Sunday, January 28, 2007
Calgary — Alberta will overcome the difficult challenges facing oil sands development, the head of the provincial energy regulator says.
“I firmly believe this will be very well organized and deliberately planned on the part of everybody to ensure this resource is extracted properly. We will make sure of that, because as an organization we can't stand by and see it done otherwise,” Neil McCrank, chairman of the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, said in an interview.
In November and December, the board approved two new oil sands projects but both times warned that rapid expansion of the oil sands was reaching a critical point.
With roughly $100-billion of work planned for the region over the next decade, problems are everywhere in Fort McMurray, from a severe housing shortage that has made the remote city one of Canada's most expensive to extremely stressed health care facilities"

There’s so much bullishness in the market now as indices and many stocks hit all-time highs, you need to be careful. Often when bullishness gets to these extremes, a pullback providing better prices lies around the corner.
But if you insist on jumping on the bandwagon and buying stocks trading at or near all-time highs, why not go along with insiders who are doing the same?

Solar IPO’s Boom in 2006
By Peter Lynch
for InvestorIdeas.com
January 19, 2007

In the past, a solar IPO (Initial Public Offering) was a rare event, with never more than 2 or 3 coming public in any given year. This past year, 2006, marks the beginning of a significant ramp up in solar IPO’s and more importantly, it is the beginning of serious financial resources coming into the solar industry which will allow the industry to continue its current robust growth. In fact, the 2006 solar IPO boom, really started in the last 6 weeks of 2005, when Sunpower (SPWR) and Suntech (STP) came public and are up 130% and 75% respectively since their IPO’s.

The days of the solar industry being an under funded “cottage industry” are over and with the onset of serious funding, a bright new future awaits us all.
advertisement Although once again, the photovoltaics (PV) sector has dominated the public financing arena, there have been a number of ethanol related IPO’s that have also started to trade their shares on the public markets in the U.S. Below is a break down of the PV IPO’s in terms of offerings that have been completed in 2006 and offerings that have filed (with the SEC) or rumored to go public in the very near future.

Notes:
The term “market capitalization” (market cap) is the total number of shares outstanding times the current stock price – this is an important number investors should be aware of since it is the value that the market is currently placing on the entire company. Thin Film technology is what I would describe as the “next generation” of PV technology. It will NOT be subject to silicon shortages and will allow much lower cost of manufacturing.
