I'll go right to the point: One small but very shrewd producer has discovered the "sweet spot INSIDE the sweet spot" of the rich Marcellus Shale.
This independent's 200,000 acres are going to change everything. Its procession of record-setting wells can determine your investing future.
This could develop into the biggest energy investing stories of the year.
Even with natural gas cheaper now than in 2000, this is one of the strongest-trending stocks in the S&P 500. It's outperforming all the crude drillers and even most of the red-hot refineries. And it's going to get hotter.
The story of the outfit that struck the sweet spot inside the sweet spot of the Marcellus is amazing. To tell it right, let me take you on a trip back in time…
380 million years ago. A massive tectonic collision crushes coastlines, triggers earthquakes, raises mountain ranges and mashes the continent of North America into the shape of a kidney bean. Tremendous forces are unleashed beneath the earth that one day will change the course of global history—but not for millions of years to come.
30 years ago. A man in Texas obsessively pursues a dream. After years of toil, this ultimate, risk-taking, entrepreneurial wildcatter, a stubborn son of Greek immigrants, "cracks the code" and unlocks the massive energy potential hidden for eons beneath the American soil.
6 years ago. The strange culmination of this eons-long chain of events: A mild-mannered university professor makes a mathematical calculation on a scrap of paper. And he rewrites the U.S. energy future.
At the heart of this tale is mud—380-million-year-old mud to be exact.
Mud that would eventually compress into rock… and then, many eons later, become a kind of rock star… at least to geologists and many lucky investors and land owners.
You've already guessed—it's not your average mud.
The mud in question formed geologic ages ago when the continents were still emerging and not a single dinosaur, mammoth or vertebrate of any kind walked the earth.
It was a strange world—warm and watery. Paleontologists call it the Devonian Period. Many call it the Age of Fishes. It's believed the average global temperature hovered around 86° F.
Planet Earth, unlike today's orientation, was tilted on its side. The land that would become the northeastern U.S. enjoyed a balmy climate not unlike today's southern Brazil or the east coast of Australia.
