Fences

Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks hopes to swing for the fences in a $582 million trade that would give him privately held independent Resolute Natural Resources Co. Under terms of the transaction announced Monday, the producer, founded by Natural Gas Partners (NGP), would go public and be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

While some energy analysts recently have begun swinging for the fences, building high natural gas demand, low supply scenarios into ever higher prices, there is another “Now, hold on just a minute” faction, which claims they have forgotten to factor in the potential for competition from lower oil prices.
