MARKET OVERVIEW Overseas trading is mostly higher this morning,
with 10 of the 15 markets that we follow in positive territory. The
cumulative average return on the group stands at a 0.133-percent
gain. In Asia, the Nikkei finished the session with a seven-point
gain, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 17 points. Trading in
Europe is mostly higher as well, with the London FTSE 100 leading
the way with a 0.12-percent gain. On the other hand, the German DAX
has dipped 0.15 percent. Oil-related companies across the ocean
remained strong this morning as black gold continued to gain
ground. Futures are currently lower, but are attempting to rebound
this morning as the dollar is climbing against the euro. Meanwhile,
brokerage house Morgan Stanley was the site of a little drama this
morning. The firm announced that its CEO Philip Purcell is leaving
the company as soon as a successor is named. Morgan Stanley
reported Purcell will leave no later than March 2006, the date of
the company's next annual meeting. Purcell stated in a letter
released by Morgan Stanley that "It has become clear that in light
of the continuing personal attacks on me, and the unprecedented
level of negative attention our Firm -- and each of you -- has had
to endure, that this is the best thing I can do for you, our
clients and our shareholders." In pre-market trading, the security
has added roughly six percent. Be prepared for the investing week

OPPORTUNITIES The US is easily the biggest consumer of oil, using
20 million barrels per day (bpd). China is second, plowing through
7 million bpd. So it's perhaps a little surprising to see the US
concerned about China's rapid consumption. Given that it imports
about 40% of its oil, China has made significant efforts trying to
boost its overseas assets to increase supplies. Trouble is ... it's
doing business with countries the US would rather not have it doing
business with - namely Iran, among others. Now, following a report
from the Energy Information Administration that says Chinese oil
demand will rise by 600,000 bpd throughout 2005 to a total of 7.2
million bpd, climbing to 7.8 million bpd in 2006, the State
Department has voiced concerns over whether China is trying to
develop energy reserves or stockpile them. But according to Saudi
Arabia's top foreign policy advisor, Adel al-Jubeir, the country
has more oil than the world could ever need: "The world is more
likely to run out of uses for oil than Saudi Arabia is going to run
out of oil." The Saudis also have the capability to use crude oil
for other purposes - including gasoline - before it ships it
overseas. This news contradicts the theory of some commentators who
speculate that the Saudis aren't being entirely forthcoming about
their oil reserves and that they may actually have much less than
they say. But, according to al-Jubeir, the Saudis have a massive
proven inventory of 261 billion barrels, with 100 billion more
potentially available through new exploration and extraction
technology. He also contends that the problem with US gasoline is
that the US doesn't refine much of it, hence the higher prices.
It's true that the US has not built a new refinery since the 1970s
and is unlikely to build one soon. As al-Jubeir states: "If we send
more oil to the United States and you can't refine it, it's not
going to become gasoline." Read more analysis from the 247Profits
