The Motley Fool says it's "Time to Buy Energy" - Agree or Disagree?

I disagree.

I particularly like to give attention to the following statements in the above article.

What you must know about energy stocks

Before you consider pulling the trigger on oil or gas plays, though, you must understand this: In the short run, prices are entirely unpredictable. Even by so-called experts.

Witness this week's shutdown of the once-highflying flagship fund of the commodity gurus at Ospraie Management. After returning a market-crushing 15% annually for the past nine years, Ospraie is closing the fund after having lost 27% of its value in August alone. Nine years of stellar returns and a single month can bring you down. Welcome to commodities investing.

According latest energy sources depressed oil and commodity market will prevail until 2015.

In some countries, some real state traders are trying to tell other people this is a buyers market and time to buy houses. However according to intelligent investors this is the time to sell your houses. I agree with them

similarily I think this is the time to sell you energy stocks.

Rather than energy, stocks there are some energy services companies.These companies will benefit irrespective of rise and fall of oil and gas prices.

I think we must be able to identify correct stocks in the correct time. In the next bull, market greatest winners will be totally unknown companies and sectors to the investors at present.
