Sep. 3, 2009 (Business Wire) — Cobra Oil & Gas Company (NASD OTC BB: CGCA) (hereafter “Cobra”) is pleased to offer an overview of PetroChina’s acquisition of a majority stake in two oil sands projects in northern Alberta for US$1.7bn. The two projects are known as Mackay River and Dover which are currently being developed by Athabasca Oil Sands with projected production at full capacity reaching 300,000 – 500,000 barrels a day.

Let me be clear: I was not arguing in my last blog that the Benjamin Graham ETN is the best total market ETF/ETN on the market today.

Far from it. As I’ve written before, celebrity branding makes me very nervous. The Ben Graham ETN is not a true total market fund. It takes huge risks and bets against a true market portfolio, with a non-transparent methodology that any investor would question.

But the Ben Graham ETN is almost beside the point.  The point is that ETFs give investors the means to express their precise views on the market.

My point would have better been made by examining all the ETFs in a given sector. Take, for example, the returns of the various healthcare ETFs in January.

I come from a generation of children that grew up playing Nintendo for at least two to three hours a day. My parents didn’t touch that “magical fun box”. But today, my generation is made up of a bunch of 28 to 34 year olds that all play video games with their kids. Because of that, the video game industry has become one of the fastest growing, and largest sectors of the entertainment industry. And even though it has shown some slowing as this recession has grinded along, growth is still there.

Too bad Electronic Arts (NASD:ERTS) simply is not feeling the love. After rising for a number of years on increased consumer spending in video games, it’s been all downhill since the credit crunch struck back in August. Shares dropped by 70%.

Just when you thought the pain is over,

Jamba, Inc. (NASD: JMBA), a leading blender of fruit and other naturally healthy ingredients that strives to inspire and simplify healthy living for its customers and employees, recently reported its financial results for the third quarter ended October 7, 2008. Revenue for the third quarter totaled $86.6 million, an increase of 3.6 percent from $83.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2007. Due to the current economic environment, the company expects to record little or no growth for the remainder of 2008 and is anticipating low single-digit growth in 2009.

Jamba’s chairman, interim president and chief executive officer, Steven R. Berrard, recently commented, “While we are extremely disappointed in our third quarter sales results, we remain confident that the initiatives that we have implemented will drive improvement in 2009, especially in the second half of 2009.”

He continued, “There is little we can do about the state of the economy,

span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"APPLE INC (nasd:AAPL) /spanAccording to my calculations, deferred revenue booked from Q4 iPhone sales carries a 55.5% gross margin.
