Best heating oil small stocks to play is GEOI. GEOI has strong financial strength with positive EBITA and 37.50% growth rate. Less risk here. ABLE only has 2.5M shares trading, the oil price pressure will send it to sky. Colder weather in the Northeast and Midwest drove expectations for greater heating fuel demand, although weekly inventory reports indicate that U.S. oil and gas reserves continue to grow. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas surged $1.14 to $14.84 per 1,000 cubic feet, as a barrel of light crude jumped 99 cents to $60.20.
Cold weather amd snow storm will last long this winter, according to weather analyst report. Now, even Texas has winter ice storm shows a inclemnet weather this year. Heating oil demand side increase tremendously, will push the price much higher than we can imagine. Still cheap for those small oil stocks compared to their record high this year in the summer, such as GEOI, ABLE, ESLR, BTJ. Will see higher jump soon.
