Keith Kohl | Jul 11, 2024 Is it good to invest in natural gas? Anyone with a dime invested in energy stocks over the past few years has asked themself this question at some point or another. Back in 2022, natural gas catapulted into the energy spotlight after Russian tanks started rolling into Ukraine. We watched as spot prices at the Henry Hub soared to nearly $9 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) — almost tripling year-over-year! The winners back then were clear, too. Shares of major natural gas producers like EQT Corp. (NYSE: [EQT]() surged more than 122% between February and August of 2022. It turns out that Putin was serious about cutting natural gas exports to Europe, which led EU members to heavily rely on U.S. LNG to heat, cool, and power their homes during the winter; remember, roughly 40% of Europe’s gas demand is used by the residential sector. A lot of investors were left on the sidelines for that run and for good reason. The flood of supply that had poured into the U.S. after the shale boom erupted, caused prices to fall precipitously. By the time the COVID lockdowns hit in the summer of 2020, natural gas prices had fallen to under $2 per MMBtu. So now here you are, once again asking yourself if natural gas is a good investment. The answer is YES. [natural gas 5] AI Genius Reveals: the #1 Stock Trading for $3 "This Is the Penny Stock Trade of the Year" [TRADE ALERT ENCLOSED: CLICK HERE for the SHORT 5-MINUTE VIDEO...Â]( Why It’s Good to Invest in Natural Gas I’ve called natural gas an underdog investment in 2024 two times this year, once back in [March,]( and again in [May.]( We even nailed down some of the [best natural gas stocks with dividends a week ago.Â]( Well, the investment thesis for natural gas hasn’t changed, it’s gotten better — and the Energy Information Administration just said the quiet part out loud. The idea is simple: Natural gas is arguably the best bridge to use when transitioning to cleaner energy. And the reason why comes down to one thing — electric power. The EIA’s latest [Short-Term Energy Outlook 2024]( paints a very bullish picture for natural gas heading into next year. According to their data, our power sector generated 5% more electricity during the first half of 2024 compared to the same period a year ago. Not only are we dealing with hotter-than-expected summer temperatures, but power consumption in the commercial sector is now officially higher than it was pre-COVID, thanks to a surge in electricity demand from data centers and crypto mining operations. And if you’ve happened to forget who is the king of U.S. energy consumption, it’s oil and natural gas: [natural gas image 6] Unlock the "Bitcoin Loophole" A unique "Bitcoin Loophole" is outshining Bitcoin by leaps and bounds.

There’s a few catalysts to consider there. For starters, natural gas producers in the U.S. have been curtailing production this year in order to stabilize prices, which means they’re drilling less. Couple this lower output with strong demand, and we’re already seeing a dent in natural gas inventories. The EIA reported that U.S. gas storage inventories were 19% above the five-year average; keep in mind that inventories were 39% above the five-year average at the end of the withdrawal season at the end of March. Then again, the EIA is also forecasting that flat production and a boost in summer demand, as well as stronger LNG exports, will lead to natural gas prices rising 41% to $3.30 per MMBtu. Tighter supply/demand fundamentals, rising prices, and a dominant position in the United States’ energy dynamic... I couldn’t think of a better sleeper investment pick during the second half of 2024. Until next time, [Keith Kohl Signature] Keith Kohl [[follow basic]Check us out on YouTube!]( [EAC ICYMI Header]( Scientists Mass-Produce New "Wonder Material"(Buy This $1 Stock) Engineers have discovered a groundbreaking method to produce a "wonder material" that could revolutionize energy storage, medical devices, and personal electronics. [graphene] Initially, the process was too small-scale for industrial use... However, scientists have significantly improved it, making large-scale production possible. This new material has the potential to drive mankind into a new era. It conducts electricity 150 times better than silicon — the current industry standard for microchips. This means data processing could approach the speed of light with this material. IBM predicts chips made with it will be 10,000 times faster... Intel calls it "the future"... And physics professor Walter de Heer says that silicon, in comparison to this miracle material, "is like driving on a gravel road versus driving on a freeway." Apple plans to incorporate this discovery into the next generation of iPhones... Nvidia aims to enhance its AI chips with it... And according to Freethink, Samsung expects it to "unleash big upgrades in performance." In short, this could disrupt the $611 billion semiconductor industry. And one small company that’s trading for just $1 holds the patent-protected technology to mass-produce this materia. With a massive announcement around the corner, its stock could skyrocket in record time. I just released a new presentation on this story. Inside, you’ll learn what this material is, why this opportunity extends beyond microchips, and how to position yourself today. It’s crucial to act before October 18, as this opportunity could disappear by then. [Get the full story here.]( [Fb]( [Li]( [Tw]( This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
