Strata Oil & Gas Inc. (SOIGF.OB) Reports Potential of Major “Heavy Oil” Deposits in Canada

The next quarter thinkers of today’s investment world can tend to be fairly short-sighted. Profits for any given quarter are important but not necessarily an indication of where the company may be going. A “miss” in this or next quarter may seem like poor performance, unless one sees that the company was merely positioning itself for a larger score next year. Vision is not something one sees in a quarterly report but rather what could happen to profits down the road. Strata Oil & Gas Inc., a junior development-stage oil and gas exploration company, works to identify and develop oil…

The Auto & Truck Manufacturers Industry has lost more than 15% value in the last three months. Should stock investors exit? Is Detroit beyond hope? The truth is that some US automobile majors have expanded feverishly in selected foreign markets. Stock investors can copy this approach: switch investments in the domestic Auto &…

How Schizophrenia Helps Business and Stock Investing – Mid-Week Management Mantra

Discontinuity and productivity lay conflicting claims on business management and stock investing. Crude oil crashes just as you scramble together a plan to deal with runaway gasoline prices. Consumer minds are fickle. Everything at the office is disturbingly different by the day. You need an entirely new way of doing business and building a portfolio of investments. Cash, physical assets, and above all, time, are very limited. You wish to sit down and plan ahead, but current operations demand full attention. What use is a strategy if there is no space for execution? Are your colleagues confused by incessant changes…
