New Stansberry video ad: Gas/oil boom will expand Obama's power, leading to a third term

Drudge Ad for Stansberry's Investment Advisory ^ | November 9, 2012 | Porter Stansberry

This ad from Stansberry just appeared on Drudge, predicting that the economy will boom in Obama's second term, giving him the leeway to expand his power so far as to enable a third and maybe fourth term. To save you the trouble of watching/listening to the whole video, here's a summary: Obama is in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the forthcoming oil and gas boom due to fracking and horizontal drilling technology. Spindletop (1901) made possible the expansion of presidential power under Teddy Roosevelt. The East Texas field exploited by H.L. Hunt (1934) led to the end of the Great Depression, expanding presidential power under FDR. Today, according to Stansberry, the oil shale boom is even bigger: "20 new Persian Gulf fields right here in the U.S." and "The U.S. will outperform Saudi Arabia by the end of the decade." Chemical companies are now relocating facilities back to the U.S. because of the boom here in natural gas production, and soon in oil production.

This will be a huge gift to the Obama administration, and a huge opportunity for Obama to squeeze political contributions from thousands of productive companies. Shakedown city, leading to American socialism, by the same process that Venezuela's oil wealth led to Hugo Chavez's rise.

The video is an ad for his newsletter, so all the specific investment recommendations are anonymized by Stansberry, but are based on the current gas boom and the near-future oil boom

Goldman Sachs see the U.S. as the leading oil producer by 2017. Good for the U.S., but far better for Obama and the Democratic Party. U.S. will actually strengthen its superpower position. The number of active oil drilling rigs has already gone through the roof. The collapse in natural gas prices will soon be followed by a collapse in oil prices (oil inventories in the U.S. are already at a near-record highs).

Gas is already displacing oil and coal as fuel sources. Using natural gas can save a big-rig trucker almost $20K/year in fuel prices. Switching millions of trucks to natural gas can save over 1 million barrels of oil per day. The market will eventually equalize the price of gas and oil, by increasing exports and consequently increasing prices.

Exports of natural gas will put Obama in the catbird seat, building his personal power around the world (a la Putin and Chavez). Millions of Americans will applaud the extension of Obama's power because they'll be getting more free stuff. Socialism will gain even more favor, leading to a third term for Obama.

Investment advice: you can make money by investing in natural gas and oil. We can't avoid socialism: almost everyone will soon be feeding at the government trough. But you can make money through private enterprise, by investing in the tool-makers and the infrastructure needed to get oil and gas to market (as in the past, Britain and Royal Dutch Shell profited from the discovery of oil in Indonesia by building the Suez Canal.) We need a huge investment in LNG terminals and tankers. Stansberry recommends an unnamed shipping company as a "sure thing" and another unnamed company that is the only company that is building LNG terminals for operation in the near future. Obama will decide who gets the license to operate the terminal, when he gets good and ready -- i.e., when the political donations are large enough.

A third way to make money: invest in an electric company who will soon see much lower energy prices, hence much larger profits. 900 of the next 1000 power plants will be natural gas rather than coal.

A fourth way: invest in the takeover of an Israeli offshore natural gas producer (ATP Oil and Gas, ATPG) who is still undervalued, because the company is bankrupt. But buy the assets, not the company, for pennies on the dollars, by buying the company's bonds as "distressed debt".

A fifth way: huge new (35 billion barrel) "secret" shale oil play.

One report is called "Global Oil Value Monitor", and shows valuation analysis for all the companies Stansberry is tracking, with a focus on assets, not stocks. The decline in oil prices will hurt stock prices, so buy "huge tracts of land" with oil and gas under them.

Welcome aboard. It’s mostly politics, with some (very little) goof-off stuff to lighten things up.

Not for lack of trying.

HEY! I just heard...The Black Canyon Of The Gunnison has finally met it's match...
