Elliott H. Gue brings
an international perspective to KCI
Investing, analyzing the complexities of global energy markets and related
industries for Personal Finance as well as more specialized
publications. From traditional fuels like coal and crude oil to the latest
alternative energy sources, Elliott’s semimonthly newsletter, The Energy
Strategist, unearths the most profitable opportunities in this booming
sector and outlines the interrelated economic and geopolitical forces that
drive these markets.
Before joining KCI,
Elliott lived and worked in Europe for five years, earning a bachelor’s degree
in economics and management and a master’s degree in finance at the University
of London—the first American student to complete a full degree at this
prestigious business school. In addition to his work on energy markets, Elliott
is co-editor of The Partnership, an online newsletter that takes the
guesswork out of identifying high-growth, high-yield partnerships through
studied advice and sound market intelligence. He also coauthored a book on
investment opportunities in Asia, The Silk Road to Riches: How You Can
Profit by Investing in Asia’s Newfound Prosperity.

If there’s one factor that’s
catalyzed the recent selloff in crude oil prices, it’s declining oil
consumption from developed-market economies.

With oil cruising above $140
per barrel and natural gas at its highest levels since late 2005, it’s hard to
imagine that there could be any energy-related sectors that aren’t flying

In the wake of the 1986 Chernobyl
nuclear disaster in the Ukraine,
public opinion in Europe turned increasingly
anti-nuclear. But, sentiment is clearly

nitrous oxides than other fossil fuels.

The term driller is among the
most overused and misunderstood in the energy patch. Some pundits seem to use
the word to refer to exploration and production (E&P) firms that actually
drill for and produce oil and/or natural gas.
