Sasol Limited (ADR) (NYSE:SSL)

Way down, here it comes back up.

gots some room to grow now

Coal is the new Black Gold ... maybe we'll never run out of Crude Oil but until nuclear power isn't such a political power source, you're left with Coal. So I'm betting my two cents worth on it.

Following Global Gains pick.

Synthetic fuel technology stock. Been refining synfuels for at least 40 years

Like EGY, a great play on African oil fields that will become more and more important as the easy-to-get-at oil in "safe" fields (Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea) runs low. Sasol also a play on the broader African economy (eg retail gas stations), and on energy technology (coal gasification).

Low PE, nice ROE, and a increasing dividend

Sasol might be out of South Africa from under Nazi leadership, but times are changing, and thankfully they are too. The new coal-to-fuel technology that they are practicing can eventually revolutionize the demand for oil and possibly lesson the monopoly that the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela have on oil supply. This is definitely a keeper, unless somehow evidence is revealed to the contrary...

Coal to liquid, potential upswing on the alternative fule front, and active in China.

Sound financials, great value, exciting future.

Bargian. Nice P/E.

They have a very interesting nich area in alternative fuels in the form of CTL and GTL products. They are a proven company that has established alternative fuels as a viable business for them due to Apartheid embargo for 50 years. They generate steady free cash flow and have low debt/equity of 35%. It also has a nice dividen to boot. Can you say the same thing about verasun or the other ethanol plays. The problem with ethanol is that it will cause inflation in food prices. BTW, they are building a new coal to liquids plan in China.

I believe in the technology.

I think alternative energy is an excellent industry to invest in right now. However, it should be noted that the real money maker is clean tech. There is a strong difference here between the two. This company is a prime example. It may be able to offer a new means of producing energy through the transformation of coal into diesel gasoline, however, during the refinement process, it is extremely difficult to filter out the harmful particulates the fuel emits as exhaust. Meaning that it can cause more of the same or worse in terms of CO2 emissions. So it's great that it could help cap dependence on foreign oil in the US but it won't be the double threat the world is looking for with being both the clean and alternative energy source. Check out the sierra club and the energy departments website for more info.

Sulfur free diesel. Most of the world runs on diesel. Next question?

Shamelessly following a couple of others on this one...

Security & Energy independence will drive the market for CTL in the US. When it does this will take off as US investors take notice
