The Magic Words

My fixation on China oil hasn't really been an accurate view. The patch is really China energy. Whether it is oil or nat gas, solar or even ethanol, the largest nation in the world will need all the energy it can acquire. With crude hitting another all-time high of $89 per barrel, here is a quick look at energy stocks in China this morning.

Suntech Power (STP) $44.93 +3.09 (7.4%)
Yingli Green Energy (YGE) $31.97 +0.44 (1.4%)
PetroChina (PTR) $261.75 +31.63 (13.6%)
CNOOC Ltd. (CEO) $193.30 +12.79 (7.1%)


There is much more, of course, but these four stocks — two solar-oriented and two in oil/nat gas — have been killing bears and shorts mercilessly. I still lament my inability to buy CEO at 92 two months ago, when it had a P/E of 11 and I was harping on and on about its greatness.

China energy. Two magical words.
