Why You Should Buy InterOil

By Shareholders Unite:We are bearish on the markets as growth is slowing and the euro-crisis looks like it could escalate out of control. So we look for markets that are still booming and stocks that can profit from that.One of the booming markets in the world right now is that of liquid natural gas (LNG), especially in Asia. A stock to profit from that is InterOil (IOC).

ByResourcearb:Last week, Pacific Rubiales (PRE) -- the $6 billion Columbian E&P company that owns a 10% working interest in InterOil's (IOC) PPL 237 -- hosted its analyst day. The company's comments confirmed not only that it intends to pursue an unexpectedly aggressive 2013 drilling schedule in PPL 237 but also that the supermajors are jostling against each other to buy a stake in InterOil's assets.

By Shareholders Unite:The three investment banks assisting InterOil (IOC) in selling a part of their Elk/Antelope resource confirmed last Friday that they received several binding bids from parties wanting to participate in the project of monetizing the gas (and possibly the liquids, although InterOil already has an agreement with Mitsui of Japan for this in place, the outcome of which depends on the conclusion of the present deal).

Beijing's smog problems have existed for decades, but in recent weeks the situation seems to have gone into overdrive.

For years, readers of this site know that I have argued that:

By Shareholders Unite: In May, we suggested you buy shares of InterOil (then at roughly $60). With the shares closing at $85 on Thursday (and, at the moment of writing, $87 pre-market on Friday), you could have done worse, especially in energy, which had a rough time of late. The question after this 40%-50% rally is justified whether you should take at least some profit.

By Treasure Hunter:InterOil (IOC) is rapidly nearing catalysts which will cause its stock price move sharply higher in the coming weeks. InterOil's fair value is literally multiples higher than its current $66/share. Getting fully up-to-speed on the InterOil story will require some time investment, but if the catalysts unfold as expected over the next few weeks, we believe the stock will move up sharply and trade closer to its current net asset value of over $400/share.

By Shareholders Unite:After a really sleepy day (and even a sleepy quarter, as it happens), InterOil (IOC) shares shot up in the last hour of trading on Friday, on rather heavy volume. This despite market makers usually taking it down at option expiration (we invite readers to check with their favourite chart providers for what happened on the last couple of expirations).
