Energen Corp (EGN)

Same long-term play on energy. I'll hold until the price goes up, then sell.

5 Star, Small Cap- pays dividend

Utility sector is a good choice for value and for defense. This company has low debt, good margin, and a good dividend.

50% oil/gas play, 50% company

Natural Gas got whacked and oil is down but this one was $75 when I got out. At $24 it is a steal.

This is simple, Oil is Cheap and won't remain that way so I am a buyer. This is a good diversified player in the field trading at below 10 PE and 2 Price-to-Book.

Cold weather play on natural gas distribution, has been consolidating since Nov 08 lows, high volume positive price movements last few days, my RS system flashed buy signal for DJUSGU (Dow Jones US Gas Distributers, egn is part of this index) about a week ago.

I like Energen because its a safe bet with Natural Gas in the long run. We have tons of it, and Energen owns everything from their own production to the pipelines to the power plants.
Unfortunately, recent drops in Natural Gas prices are due to both oversupply, and unforeseen drops in demand (at least to me). The oversupply part was inevitable. However the drop in demand is mostly tied to the outsourcing of manufacturing capabilities from the United States. A lot of these manufacturing facilities require large amounts of natural gas, and without them, the demand is killed. Fortunately for Energen, they are a utility with a large customer base which is mainly residential in nature.
This will allow them to stay in business, however the real profits come when Natural Gas spot price at the wellhead moves back up.
I would say this stock is a much safer play than a true energy company such as Chesapeake, as there is less volatility as the wellhead price adjusts. I say look for EGN to outperform in the next year or 2. In the meantime, at least the dividends are still there.

Magic Formula, dollar has rallied, but won't be sustained, Energy = Inflation hedge

Valuation.

Will outperform the s & p 500 once people realize we are running out of oil and crude hits $200 a barrel....

profitable, good for o & G week

NG play

Lets just say that I want some easy points here :-)

My "stock of the day" and a FromLaVega pick, this oil and gas company seems attractive with a P/E of 16.6

Good ratio of all-star longs to total longs here.

As with all my picks: A very attractive P/E, excellent EPS growth rate and high five year growth prospects.

produces nat.gas & oil ,nuff said

No explination here, I just don't see a lot happening wiht this one in the next year or 2 .
