JOE QUATTRONE	DIVERSIFICATION ENERGY ETC.GROWTH POTENTIAL COAL TO LIQUIFIED GAS.	Love	June 29, 2007
Matthew Stein	Sasol	Love	June 07, 2007
Faisal Laljee	Sasol is a lesser known energy giant, which has developed world-leading technology for the commercial production of synthetic fuels and chemicals from low-grade coal as well as the conversion of natural gas to environment-friendly fuels and chemicals. Along with oil and natural gas, the company also produces diesel and liquid gas. Headquartered in South Africa, SSL has access to the growing Africa markets, and maintains a steady presence in Europe, Asia and Australia. Currently, the stock trades at less than 10 times earnings, and offers a $2.50 dividend. The company has a dominant position in the business of converting coal to gas and is one of the few players that can do it well. With coal in abundance (and Sasol owns coal reserves all over Africa), the process of using coal for gas is a fruitful and profitable venture with a bright future. Apparently, SSL's management thinks so because the company recently bought back 1.2% of their outstanding shares at under $33 per share as part of a 3% share re-purchase program. The stock is down 10% from a recent high of around $39.50 due to some problems at their Oryx GTL (gas-to-liquid) plant in Qatar, but these issues will be fixed soon. According to Motley Fool: In 2006, Sasol pulled in roughly $2 billion in net income from continuing operations on roughly $10 billion in revenues. The company, which operates in 30 countries and recently opened offices in China and India, sees its patented gas-to-liquid (GTL) and coal-to-liquid (CTL) technologies as a potentially huge driver of long-term growth. The CTL technology, in particular, could catch on in the U.S. given our vast coal deposits, growing desire for energy independence, and sustained high energy prices. Sasol has been in talks with at least two U.S. governors of coal-rich states who have expressed an interest in Sasol's patented CTL technologies. Should the technology gain traction in the U.S., Sasol's shareholders would likely be richly rewarded. In addition, Sasol has an enviable return on equity of greater than 27% and a PEG ratio of 0.7. The stock is a buy at these levels.	Love	June 06, 2007
