by Cory Mitchell, CMT The Horizon BetaPro NYMEX Natural Gas Bull+ ETF (TSX: HNU) has been one of, if not THE most profitable trades in natural gas for the last four years, yet my sense is retail investors have missed it completely. Why? The reason is simple—you...
To say that it is a “buyer’s market” for oil and gas properties would be an understatement. If you want to buy production or land, prices have come down by half in many areas. This is like going fishing and having the fish swim up to your boat and beg...
My annual Vancouver conference is less than one month away--Thursday October 8.  Besides meeting the CEOs of some of the best junior producers in Canada, I have TWO speakers I'm very excited about: 1.

Why are producers spending ANY money right now?  I’ll tell you why—you can’t shrink yourself to greatness.  But there is one very good reason to stop spending completely—Mergers and Acquisitions.
