Trading Oil Via Strong Energy Stocks

Crude oil is a primary barometer of risk appetite and as such it can confirm or deny the US economy’s potential to slip into recession. In the 2008-09 recession and corresponding market meltdown, oil touched $35, as ridiculously cheap a price as some fantastic companies were trading for.

During the heightened volatility of the first week of August, when the SP 500 touched 1,100, WTI hit $75 and quickly rebounded back above $80. If you believe that the chance of a mild recession has been priced-in to equities, you may equally consider that crude oil is also signaling the economy is still in good shape.

And for broader perspective, consider that energy in general is in a long-term secular bull market, as “peak oil” may not be priced-in. In other words, it’s quite possible that the average price of oil over the next decade will be well over $100.

Granted this is driven both by population growth in Emerging

It takes money to make money. Most investors know that, but with business media so focused on the “how much,” very few investors bother to ask, “How fast?”

When judging a company’s prospects, how quickly it turns cash outflows into cash inflows can be just as important as how much profit it’s booking in the accounting fantasy world we call “earnings.” This is one of the first metrics I check when I’m hunting for the market’s best stocks. Today, we’ll see how it applies to National Fuel Gas (NYSE: NFG  ) .

Let’s break this down
In this series, we measure how swiftly a company turns cash into goods or services and back into cash. We’ll use a quick, relatively foolproof tool known as the cash conversion cycle, or CCC for short.

Why does the CCC matter? The less time it takes a firm to convert outgoing cash into incoming cash, the more powerful and flexible its profit engine is. The less money tied up in inventory and accounts receivable, the more available to grow the company, pay investors, or both.

To calculate the cash conversion cycle, add days inventory outstanding to days sales outstanding, then subtract days payable outstanding. Like golf, the lower your score here, the better.

Here’s the CCC for National Fuel Gas, alongside the comparable figures from a few competitors and peers.

Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard Poor’s. Dollar amounts in millions. Data is current as of last fully reported fiscal quarter. TTM = trailing 12 months.

For younger, fast-growth companies, the CCC can give you valuable insight into the sustainability of that growth. A company that’s taking longer to make cash may need to tap financing to keep its momentum. For older, mature

San Diegans have the chance to win free gas and promote an Eco-friendly lifestyle, thanks to Dave Cynkin, who is participating in Ford’s Ecoboost Challenge.

Cynkin was selected with seven other participants in eight different cities try to win free gas for their respective cities. The challenge consists of three parts, participants must drive an Eco-friendly car for five days to see who gets the best gas mileage; they must win the most Facebook votes, and lastly they have to get 50 volunteers to show up for a community project.

Cynkin and his volunteers worked over the weekend at the Bayside Community Center in Linda Vista. The center’s executive director says Cynkin’s project will help build pride in their community.

“This is a community that has an unfair reputation, that only bad things happen,” Bayside’s Executive Director Jorge Riquelme. “In fact it’s a community where a lot of important, beautiful things are happening. We want to show San Diego and the rest of America that we can come together, regardless of background, economic, ethnic and build a community for community garden.”

If Cynkin wins, San Diegans will win free regular grade gasoline at two local gas stations for two hours on Sept.2.
