CAPS Rating:

The Company consists of the upstream businesses of Exploration & Production and Gas & Power and the downstream businesses of Oil Products and Chemicals. It also has interests in other industry segments such as Renewables and Hydrogen.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Avatar jimdcraig (< 20) Submitted: 1/25/08 7:57 AM

Shell is a dinosaur. It lacks the access to resources of the National Oil Companies and cannot compete with the cost structure of the independents. The National Oil Companies don't need the Shells anymore to develop their fields, they just call Halliburton or Schlumberger. The majority of Shell inco...More

Recs 0 (RDS-B) SportAg22 (98.18) Submitted: 5/08/08 8:35 PM : Start Price: $79.47 RDS-B Score: -0.26 Royal Dutch Shell has placed a $200 million bet that it can unlock Colorado's Green River Formation, which could produce 4 million barrels per day - 20 percent of current US consumption... Until we find alternative energy options that are cost efficient the need for shale deposits that hold millions if not billions amount of reserves will be in need.

Recs 0 (RDS-B) hondo928 (99.69) Submitted: 5/07/08 10:22 PM : Start Price: $80.24 RDS-B Score: -0.22 Big Oil is in a win win situation right now, the government looks like a bunch of idiots with the combination of food prices going through the roof by trying to push ethanol, and the dollar depreciating incredibly. Personally I think shell is the weakest of the big oil companies but that's like being the worst player on the all-star team. On top of the government looking like a bunch of idiots which has led to higher prices for oil, and more profits for Shell and the likes, Shell can now pursue Oil Shale projects, Oil sand projects etc. and still get a return...if the government lets them. And say oil prices go down, well in turn inflation goes down which means Investment Expenditures will increase, they can make better models and choose projects more effectively. All of this is on top of a what I am beginning to see as an almost Perfectly Inelastic Demand curve for Energy in the U.S. and elsewhere, while certainly at a point it will shift right now people aren't doing anything at $120, maybe $200 they'll change their mind?
