Crosstex Energy, Inc. (XTXI)

Earnings Estimates Revised Upward

The balance of oil & gas will become more inline with increased market market demand during this winter (Farmer's Almanac claiming it will be the coldest in years).

Oil is depleting fast...

I am a strong believer in natural gas rising in the next several months. With oil around $82 a barrel, natural gas has ground to make up. When demand hits its peak during the cold winter months, that's when these stocks that are heavily positioned in natural gas, will make a move. I like Chesapeake Energy as a safer play and see it going up around $33, while Crosstex is the more risky play, but offers the greatest upside potential.

the spread between the price of oil and gas is the largest ever. Can it last? There is a glut in natural gas. But peak oil is here (we are running out of oil). Without much more deep water finds (30,000 feet + in the deep ocean), natural gas will surely go up in price. XTXI is cheap right now. Not a great balance sheet though. This is a turnaround play.

outperform

this stock is under valued, they sold their gas purfication business for more than their market cap,(266 mil).

Crosstex is another example of a massively oversold company with a bright future... and great returns. Just look at the historical prices, and take into account the business Crosstex is in. No brainer.

Natural gas is still cheap and may be for so along time. I'm trying to round up several potential nat gas ideas and this is one.

It's a partnership that covers several aspects of natural gas and liquid natural gas. If natural gas prices go up so will Crosstex. I need to research management and the implications of a partnership before moving forward.

ng going higher

Follows the price of NG.....which I believe will rise faster than the S&P index over the few years. As soon as the price of NG enables XTXI to restore their dividend, this stock will move sharply higher....I was in at 0.89, but continue to add to my position on weakness. Buy below $4.00, but be prepared for some volatility on the ride higher.

Looking for T Boone to pick up the paces on alternative fuels.

Put this in my own protfolio at $1.72. I think this has serious potential to make me a lot of $$$. NG prices are going up all over, and this company looks poised to take advantage of it.

like it and thought I had reted it a few weeks ago but I like it enough to claim it when it almost doubles in one day.

Energy Demand will never go away. Crosstex is in a little slump - but just wait for the rebound!

I see a gysher of gas right here!

XTXI has made the right moves at the right time to bring their balance sheet into perspective for the current economic conditions. They have excellant proven resources in all the right locations. They provide a high quality service to other producers as well. Demand for NG will grow rapidly. Increased use for the auto industry and power production will increase 2x over the next 10 years. And that may be conservative.

Cons: Winter is over so home heating use will be down over the next 7 months. Industry production that relys on NG is also down. So in the near term NG demand will be down until Industry and Home heating use return again.

Pros: With NG being one of the cleanest burning fuels available, new power plants using NG will be built (especially in areas nearest NG production) to handle the increased demand for power in the coming years. The price of oil will rise again and thereby push NG back into the limelight as an alternative fuel for the auto industry. Gov't regulations will also push this aspect along. Can you tell me of another fuel that is cleaner burning at the same cost in todays economy for the next 10 years.

I bought this stock for my portfolio at $1.69. I think the current price is still cheap, but I will wait to add to my position again in June when NG use will be at it's lowest level based on economics and seasonal considerations. If you are a long term investor entering this stock at a current price of $1.97 would be a good buy. Do so as a long position.

maybe its the big O
