Good Morning, Trader!
Ever wonder why so many countries let the Russians do whatever they want? Great East Energy Inc. (GASE) has an answer and a solution!
GASE has spent the last few months helping Ukraine declare energy independence from Moscow’s stranglehold over global gas supplies. (Read more)
As a result, this $0.50 chart may be in exactly the right place to become a star in international security circles and maybe even the market:
Why is domestic gas for Ukraine so critical? The game got hot on March 3 when Moscow claimed the Crimea!
Crimea is 10,000 square miles and 4% of Ukraine’s sovereign territory. Russia is already getting sanctioned for grabbing it and has vowed to fire back. (Read more)
The biggest economic cannon Moscow has to fire is of course cutting off the gas, which it has done or threatened over and over and over.
Ukraine is especially vulnerable to this because the Russians supply about 60% of the gas they need to run their power plants!
They don’t like it, but until companies like GASE can get domestic wells pumping, they’re stuck doing whatever Moscow wants.
And so is the rest of the world. Pretty much everyone agrees Europe will knuckle under if Russia cuts off their gas! (CSM)(Bloomberg)(Forbes)(CNN)
The Germans are already complaining about what getting tough on Russia will do to their fuel imports and energy prices around the world. (Read more)
That’s their problem. GASE is working as hard as it can to make sure Ukraine will one day be free to chart its own destiny! (Read more)
The GASE management team knows how to do business in the region and they know the “unconventional” gas that launched the fracking boom here. (Read more)
Applying their skills to bring the shale miracle to Europe could open up 47 BILLION cubic feet of gas that the Ukrainians don’t have to beg to buy. (Read more)
GASE has 160 square miles to frack and wants to sextuple its territory in the near future. (Read more)
Royal Dutch Shell thinks a 3,000 square mile slice of Ukraine is worth $10 BILLION to develop. On that scale, GASE is sitting on $530 million in land! (Read more)
Of course down here at $0.50 or so, GASE is only valued at $26 million so clearly there’s a “discount” built into the current price.
Shadowy “private equity” ponied up $1 a share to help GASE do what it needs to do! I hear the CIA does that kind of thing once in a while.
Or maybe deep money investors just recognized a stock in the right place to play a key role in global energy politics! Go back to the GASE chart.
The Ukrainian revolution already drove GASE shares way up over the last few months -- the 200 MDA is still down around $0.21!
And when GASE shares tumbled to $0.42 right after the Crimea got hot, it was understandable. Nobody wants to invest in an active war zone!
But in the weeks that followed, GASE has recovered nicely as it became clear that we were looking at sanctions and not mushroom clouds.
And with the long trend lines converging on the top and the bottom, GASE now seems eager to make a decision on its next move!
Got to go, but two parting shots: can you imagine a purer play on the hottest headline of the season than GASE?
And can you live with yourself if you don’t trade what amounts to geopolitical jet fuel? GASE. Pure Ukrainian energy independence.
See you soon!
