The site does not make recommendations, but offers a unique information portal to investors to research news, articles, and recent research.

Excerpt from the article by Allen Gibson:

Three years on, the land rush is largely over, but the mergers and acquisitions rush is in full swing. The President of Evergreen Resources, Mark Sexton, noted recently on Kudlow and Cramer, "the cheapest oil and gas around right now is on Wall Street." With energy companies' valuations not even remotely reflecting the current energy prices, he says, a lot of companies are garnering commodity value via M&A activities.

Evergreen, one of the biggest and most expert CBM companies in the US, is being consumed in a $2.1 billion dollar merger by Pioneer Natural Resources. But for some reason, Evergreen's massive CBM land position in Kansas is being spun-off prior to the merger. Rumors are flying that Evergreen's CEO still wants the play. The head of Heartland Oil and Gas, whose leases are basically surrounded by Evergreen's, says, "It begs the question as to why Evergreen wanted to keep the CBM play out of the merger with Pioneer?"
