Anadarko Petroleum (APC)


Jim:      Anadarko Petroleum (APC) was always one of our favorite green stocks, and not just because we love the irony of an oil company being green. APC is one of the best natural gas producers out there, with the best manager in the industry, Jim Hackett.

Neither of those things have mattered lately though, as the stock's fallen from $56.42 the last time Hackett was on the show, to $37 and change, a 33.2% decline. Believe it or not, that's actually better than a lot of the others...

(Cont'd from above)...

Jim:      The collapse of natural gas prices brought about the collapse of APC's stock. It only has a 1% yield and doesn't have the dividend, therefore, to defend itself. It also doesn't have the political support. On Mad Money, we think natural gas is the perfect interim green fuel... but we have been so resoundingly whipped into submission... and Barack Obama, and the democrats, completely disagree with our thesis.

Given that the natural gas producers have pretty much been through the doomsday scenario, we need to shed some light on how things are doing now fundamentally, even though fundamentals haven't meant a thing. And that means hearing from the person that we admire more than anyone else in the industry, Jim Hackett, the CEO of
Anadarko Petroleum (APC).

Mr. Hackett, welcome back to Mad Money...

Jim's comments AFTER the interview:     There's such value here. I don't know what to say, Jim, thank you for being on the show. Guys, look... I hesitate to tell you there's a lot of value, and then there'll be a big sell program tomorrow, and the stock will be down 15%, and you'll just want to kill me... But, I mean, you heard what he said... There's going to be tremendous value, but it's such a hard market, I'm just going to tell you there's a lot of value there, and it's just going to come back, and he's a great manager. Maybe that's all I can do right now, but maybe that's enough.
