Can fossil fuels make for good business in the long term? What do we dislike everyday more than gasoline and heating oil prices? A world of alternative energy sources is the new management mantra. We may love to hate the Middle East Sheikhs living off nearly centurion crude prices, but let us not forget good old Texas in the ‘liquid gold’ rush!
Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corp. is clearly set for profit growth. The company not only has bounteous oil and natural gas assets, but assiduously targets new acquisitions for vertical integration. Geer Tank Trucks is a striking example of forward thinking by management, because control over logistics is a sustainable competitive edge when it comes to marketing energy products to consumers. Speaking of marketing, Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corp also has Continental Fuels (OTCBB:CFUL) in its war chest of achievements.
There is a fly in this business ointment: solar, wind, and hydrogen fuel cells are missing from the portfolio, when we view Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corp as a holding stock in the energy sector. That is not to insinuate that the management has given no thought to the future of alternative fuels, but to suggest that the wise will queue up for a slice of this cake without any further loss of time!
Choosing between profits and risk in business can make investors like children in a toy shop. OTCBB:UPDA is special because it gives you best of both worlds. Lick your chops as oil prices inexorably head north, while you bask in the security of a management team with a clear vision of the future of the energy business.
