Golar LNG Limited (USA) (GLNG)

Downthumb. Too highly leveraged for the LNG tanker business.

I used to like shipping, before it became apparent that the whole industry is overloaded with ships. This stock is over price to book, made $700K last year, owes over a billion dollars, has very little cash relative to anything else, and I don't think it's paying a dividend anymore. Some big wave of natural gas usage will not save this company, or anything else.

I like this for next year.

Dividend stock.

Natural Gas is the future.

Russell 2000 long term growth 31-173%

glng is ready for a slow & steady climb-this a 3/5 year buy & hold now

Buy and Hold?

This stock is ready to go up soon just as natural gas will replace much of our oil needs.

suspended dividend to preserve capital, looks like it will weather the storm and steam on ahead to great profits in the years to come

I adore the energy tanker niche these days - just he thought of 15%-30% dividend yields makes my mouth water. Plus, my experience with these companies tells me they'll probably pull a 300%-400% price appreciation off these levels too.

GLNG specializes in a major tanker growth area - liquefied natural gas, LNG for short. There are several import facilities planned, and likely many more to come - even more so as electricity generation moves more towards less carbon-intensive fuels, i.e. less coal and more natural gas [at least in the short term, pending development of sequestration retrofit technology, and of course dependent on any US action on the matter].

Basically, I see a strong value proposition here as the value of this service is likely to grow considerably over the next several years - more so since these tankers take years to build and we have no clear carbon market signal, meaning that orders will lag demand.

Natural gas has been too low too long Im Hoppin on Board the nat gas trainon a down day.

I shorted this in 2008 because the company reported that profits would be lower but would pick back up in 2009. I don't know how true the latter part of their statement will be. I've decided to go long on this through 2009.

Graham formula gives me a fair value of $11.50, based on an EPS of $0.72 and a book value of $8.22. At the current price of $6.95, this is a margin of safety of 40%.

As with many shippers, this one is sporting a very high dividend ratio, although payments vary based on actual cash available. A bit more risky right now with a recession going on, but over the longer term I expect that demand for transportation of LNG will increase. After all, reserves are not always where demand is, and there are limits to pipelines.

The Barber got too carried away on this one.

Natural gas to replace oil as fuel for vehicles.

High Dividends; Shipping never goes out of style; One Sub-Sector that`s Diversified & International ("Water Transportation" only)

Great accumulation opportunity for this stock, paying around 8% dividends. I'm expecting the divs to be increased to $.35 or so within the next 6-9 months.
