I don't know Anindo. For some reason energy companies just can't move like tech stocks. Look at most of those stocks you list, certainly they all had a good day TODAY but most of them have only tripled, AT MOST over 3 plus years, if even that. Tech stocks on the other hand go up 10-fold when they do. Bob's pick BWNG was at 3.8 about a year ago and peaked at 16 one year later. IT has fallen back now but that kind of leverage seems impossible in other sectors. I think its because energy companies generate almost no FCF. But anyway we all make our own choices, if you can make more in energy- go for it.
