Bald Eagle Energy Inc. (BEEI.OB), based out of Houston, is an oil and gas exploration company specifically formed to address America’s independence on foreign resources. While domestic energy companies produce 5.1 million barrels of oil per day (MMBOPD), US consumers use 20.7 MMBOPD. The current 15.6 million barrel shortfall is the gap that Bald Eagle is committed to reducing by tapping into the energy resources found in Alaska.

The North Slope Basin is known for its abundance of hydrocarbon with an estimated 27 billion barrels of discovered recoverable oil (BBO) and 52 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas (TCFG). Compared to other parts of the US, the region has a low exploration-drilling density and is under-explored.

Bald Eagle entered into an agreement on April 18, 2008 to acquire a 100% working interest in six separate leases located on the Alaska North Slope.

The pure capitalist tends to drool a bit at the mere mention of a captive market. The opportunity to sell into a marketplace that has only a few favored suppliers is a dream come true. In most instances, captive markets are few and far in-between, but when they do show up, it’s an opportunity to take advantage.

To suggest China as a captive market, hinged on knowing the right people with the right permits, may or may not be a stretch. It is, however, a process/tradition that is an important part of doing business in China. Finding a Chinese company that has a solid position within the Chinese business infrastructure is one such opportunity where an investor may be able to do a little drooling, even when the rest of the world is looking for a solid footing.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has insisted that Russia develop measures that will allow it to ‘actively influence’ the price of oil, as the New York Times reports that this week's Russian share drop is the result of lower oil prices. If Russia keeps to its new draft energy schedule, oil production will grow by 8-20% and natural gas by 42% by 2030. A $2.9 billion deal signed by China and Iraq will give the China National Petroleum Corporation a role in developing Iraq’s Al-Ahdab oil field. India’s ONGC has effectively sealed its takeover deal with Imperial Energy, clearing the second of two sets of regulatory Russian conditions, and the deal is expected to be completed in just over two months.

Bald Eagle Energy is a relatively new company with one simple goal: To decrease America’s dependency on foreign oil through the development of domestic sources. Based out of Houston Texas, and with its primary operations in oil-rich Alaska, Bald Eagle is poised to become a significant player in the American oil and gas industry.

In the spring of 2008, the company entered into an agreement to purchase a 100 percent interest in six leases in Alaska’s North Slope Basin, a region famed for the vast stores of oil contained therein. The exploration areas that Bald Eagle have acquired, totaling more than 18,000 acres, are in close proximity to the largest oil field in North America; The Prudhoe Bay Field.

Alaska’s North Slope is excellent evidence of the untapped resources at America’s disposal. In fact, the region accounts for approximately twenty percent of all domestic oil

Bald Eagle Energy Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Their corporate mission is to be a partner in helping America work toward energy independence. The company is focusing their efforts on Alaska’s vast energy resources.

The company’s strategy for profitability is to reduce capital expenditures through a minimized team of experienced management, and to retain the consulting services of industry experts only when needed. They also utilize third-party drilling companies to limit investment in equipment and limit operating expenses.

Bald Eagle holds a 100% percent working interest in six separate leases in Alaska. The six leases total 18,418 acres. They are east of the Arctic Fortitude Unit and south of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, which has produced in excess of 10 billion barrels of oil from The Prudhoe Bay Field. This field is the largest oil field in North America. The company’s land position with

by Edward Hugh: Barcelona"The Kazakh government is ready to step in,'' Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Karim Masimov said this morning in a telephone interview with Bloomberg "The Kazakh banking system with the support of the government and central bank will fulfill all obligations to international investors.....We have our own specific plan to survive without any external support....I don't think we need support from the International Monetary Fund or overseas.'' Well that is good news, so at least we know that one of the CIS and CEE economies won't be looking to the IMF for bail-out support in this crisis which is presently growing by the day. So Kazakstan, that country which is reputedly host to reserves of approximately 95% of the elements in the periodic table, with a population of around 15 million housed on a surface area greater than the whole of Western Europe, is going to be able to look after itself. But hang on a minute, just where is Kazakhstan, and just what have they been getting up to over there, and why the hell should I take Karim Masimov's word for it, when just about all the other Iceland Look-alike show contestants seem to be saying the same? After all, didn't those extermely bright and able young people over at RBC Capital Markets in Toronto say in a report only last week that, along with Latvia, the country's $100 billion oil-led economy is among the most vulnerable to the present global credit crisis and the skid-row economic trajectories that go with it simply because of its excessive reliance on short-term foreign borrowing. And isn't it the case that the cost of protecting Kazakhstan government debt against default has more than doubled this month - to over 1,000 basis points (or 10%), the level for borrowers that investors term ``distressed,'' according to CMA Datavision credit-default swap prices. Only Ukraine, which as we know is already seeking IMF support, is classified as being a bigger risk among European emerging-market governments. Surely all those highly dedicated, bright, and extremely able young people who are doing all that trading know what they are about, don't they?

One of the biggest collapses this year hasn't been in stocks. Crude oil has lost half its value since it peaked at just under $150 a barrel in July. Today, a barrel of the black goo sells for just over $80.

Outstanding Investments co-editor Byron King says "it seems like the investment locomotive — energy, resources and related infrastructure — has derailed."

Does this mean you should sell your resource stocks? Byron says selling now would leave a lot of value on the table. That's because resource stocks are now priced well below their intrinsic value.

Crude oil and metal prices are in the doldrums as the likelihood of a US recession grows. Mayer's Special Situations editor Chris Mayer says this has commodities stocks at better values than they have been for years.

Slowing growth and inflation problems means the short-term outlook for commodities is not pretty. But over the long term, scarcity of resources is strongly bullish for commodities prices.

This is a great chance to add commodities stocks to you your portfolio and hold for long-term profits.

The commodity correction continues. And it's getting more painful by the minute as big trading houses like Lehman and Merrill Lynch go belly up or are forced into mergers. I think we're seeing a margin call on a global scale. The good news is it should bring incredible opportunities for long-term investors. The bad news is we could see a lot more pain before this is over. A "margin call" is when an investment, bought with borrowed money, decreases in value past a certain point, and an investor either has to put up more money or sell the investment. And we're seeing margin calls as Lehman and others liquidate their trading books. What's more, we're seeing margin calls in oil. Speculators pushing prices down Now, here's where I eat ...
