Energy prices. vs Utilities Stock prices?

Is it correct to assume that when energy prices rise, the stock price of utilities companies would also rise?

Thank you!


Answers: Generally speaking, and depending on souk conditions, yes because that would allow for greater margins.

US Utilities continue to look moral, decent surrender and future prospects, some of which I close to are:

UNS (Unisource)
NJR (NJ Resources)

Why oodles family buy gold ingots from dubai?

why its cheap there


Answers: I found it cheap in that but cheapness is a matter of realativity where on earth if that piece of gold studs only costs $2,000 near where as it costs $4,000 surrounded by the UK or US - it still actually costs $2,000 !! And how various people would in general pay $2,000 for a piece of jewels. Gold or yellow restlessness has hit frequent an expat worker and their families (wives) living within the Emirates which actually reduce their capital monies extracted from Dubai ( or other ) which is across the world the reason they go to the middle east in the first place. The huge promotion campain by the Dubai Government / Emirates since the middle 90's has indeed brought 1,000's of tourists to the middle east form western countries and asia - tourists obviously have disposable income and relatively rightly are entitled to pick up bargins resulting from low labour costs within the UAE ( cic third country nationals ) and low excise / duty paid to the UAE elected representatives. However as people are impeccably entitled to spend their money whichever way they want Tourists can buy away at souvineres ( gold ingots or otherwise ) to their heart's content. However it must never be forgotten that when the tourist brings the gold trinket bought contained by the UAE back home they must( Legally ) affirm the value of their souvinere to their domicile customs within the airport and be prepared to pay the UK ( USA, etc, etc ) duties and advantage added taxes. If they honestly pay these duties ( not simply smuggle the trinkets into the country ) then the cheap products bought are feasible to cost up to an additional 30% or more depending which country you will enjoy to pay the duty within ( not much of a saving next !! ) Of course if you own any gold product for longer than 6 months and are outside your domicile country for these 6 months after generally these items can be treated as personal posessions and "duty exempt" and you could bring contained by a Mr. T amount of chains and Rolex's etc.
There is a lot of competition here because there is a huge concentration of gold dealer. (All the worlds big banks and dealer are represented.) There are so many dealer there because it is the jump off point for smugglers on boats trying to evade precious metals controls surrounded by India. They can operate openly contained by Dubai because what they are doing does not violate Dubai law and the parliament there doesn't consideration about Indian law.

Note that this response addresses "gold" as within the yellow metal, because to be precise what the question seem to ask about, not "gold ingots jewelery".
