Bullish weather....http://headlines.accuweather.com/news-story.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&article=3 The coldest air of the season will settle into the Southeast tonight and in many areas this means trouble. With a clear sky and light northerly wind, temperatures will plummet late tonight and frost will form from Mississippi to the eastern Carolinas. Many rural areas across northern Alabama and North Georgia will have a freeze, and freezing temperatures could be recorded in the suburbs of Birmingham and Atlanta.While it will not be cold enough for frost across the northern half of the Florida Peninsula, temperatures will be low enough to challenge record lows in cities like Jacksonville, Orlando and Melbourne. Story by AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Chris Stachelski.

Something is up with CNQ. what was "up" was that Barron's was writing a major hype piece on CNQ. in typical Barron's fashion, they call up a number of institutional investors the week before for their "comments". it doesn't take a lot of imagination to realize why Barron's wants these "comments", in the week before publication of a hype piece (or a hatchet job, as the case may be). online.barrons.com

Canadian Natural could become a Takeover Target NEW YORK, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNQ.TO: Quote, Profile, Research), one of North America's largest independent oil and gas companies, could become a takeover target of a major oil company because of its large presence in the Alberta oil sands, one of the world's most promising energy regions, according to Barron's. But John Langille, a Canadian Natural vice chairman, said selling isn't on the horizon. "We want to continue to grow our company into a very strong independent," he told Barron's in the newspaper's Oct. 30 edition. "Selling to someone else is not part of our game plan." Through acquisitions Canadian Natural has grown from tiny producer to a company with a stock market capitalization of $28 billion, Barron's said. The company's promising oil-sands project in Alberta is expected to start producing crude in 2008. The stock could jump in the next two years as the project nears completion, Barron's said. The company aims to boost daily energy output, which is now equal to 600,000 barrels a day and split between oil and gas, to 1 million barrels by the end of 2012, Barron's said. "Given the strength of the company's asset base and given how much of the world's oil and gas reserves are in inhospitable places, we don't think we can lose a lot," Bruce Berkowitz, who heads Fairholme Capital Management, told Barron's. Fairholme owns shares in Canadian Natural. "And in the best case, it's a grand slam," he told Barron's. The stock was recently boosted by Royal Dutch Shell Plc's (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) offer to buy out minority holders of Shell Canada (SHC.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) for $7 billion. Shell Canada's market value is attributed to its 60 percent stake in the Athabasca project, one of three major oil-sands projects operating, Barron's said NewsBlast Sign-Up StockHouse NewsBlast: Receive company sponsored news and information via email.
