Now some self promotion. The BP Macondo mess created one of the more profitable baskets of investments I've made in a while. I covered them real time on my blog last year at the time of purchase and the time of sale

These were not easy purchases to make, because at the time the television was telling us 24/7 that small producers were going to be put out of business. But with some common sense and by following the details of the proposals in Congress I sucked it up and bought this basket of stocks.
Opportunities like these don't come along often and I think I've got another set that I will be covering in my newsletter in the coming weeks and months. Hopefully the market stays where it is so prices stay attractive for a while.
