One thing that most energy analysts can probably agree on is that oil and natural gas reserves aren't getting any easier to discover, or extract from the earth. The obstacles are only increasing, from the pure location of the natural resource, to the political barriers being established to wean ourselves off of our fossil fuel addiction. However, another notion I think most energy analysts can agree on is that fossil fuels will continue to play a vital role in fueling global growth for decades to come.With that in mind, we have developed a longer-term structural theme in the energy services sector for clients in our opportunistic growth portfolio. It recaptured my attention today due to a notable outperformance in energy services ETFs vs. the rest of the market. This was more than likely due to the affirmation of a positive outlook from the energy analysts over at

So, what did the market want today? Nothing it appears. It traded on weak volume and had very little movement. This morning, the market hated commodities especially silver, but by day's end, the market liked silver, gold and even oil, but not the dollar. Why?Last week, the economic reports were tough, with bad misses on more than one occasion. But the market tended to ignore the bad news, probably because money continues to pour into equities from money market funds, long-term fixed income, and many struggling foreign economies. On Thursday, investors finally caved to even more bad news from Initial Jobless Claims and weak Housing Starts. Then on Friday, when Michigan Sentiment and Leading Indicators posted large positive surprises, the money came pouring back to generate quite a positive week for all the leading domestic indices with Small-cap Growth leading the way, up 2.6% for the week.

On Monday evening, Senators Carl Levin and John McCain addressed the media about Apple (AAPL), alleging tax avoidance by means of offshore entities. This issue could affect Apple in a meaningful manner. Before it's all over, Apple could theoretically be forced to pay reparation, but it is far more likely that the company will have to pay more taxes in the future, which should result in some sort of cut to earnings estimates and the stock's valuation, bringing down the already barraged stock even further. Furthermore, because of its high profile, this issue will be amplified to the American audience. If Apple is then viewed as un-American by some of its patriotic clientele here at home, it could see market share bleed as well, which favors its rivals Samsung (SSNLF.PK), Nokia (NOK) and BlackBerry (BBRY), but especially its American rivals, Google (GOOG), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT).

Star Trek Into Darkness may have had disappointing box offices sales in the U.S. this weekend, but the film experienced more success than any in the franchise overseas. NEW! Discover a new stock idea each week for less than the cost of 1 trade. CLICK HERE for your Weekly Stock Cheat Sheets NOW! Into Darkness was J.J. Abrams’ second Star Trek movie, and it grossed $70.6 million in the U.S. and Canada since screenings began on Wednesday evening. While the movie topped domestic box office sales, distributor Paramount Pictures, owned by Viacom Inc. (NYSE:VIA), had hoped it would sell $100 million by Sunday. The first of Abrams’ Star Trek movies grossed $79.2 million in its opening weekend. In second place for weekend box office sales was Walt Disney Co.‘s (NYSE:DIS) Iron Man 3 with $35.2 million, followed by director Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby with $23.4 million, which was released by Warner Bros, a division of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX). The Star Trek sequel might not be making what was expected domestically, but it has grossed 82 percent more than the first film did overseas. Paramount looked to increase international ticket sales for Into Darkness with increased foreign marketing and a global publicity tour. It is expected that the film will more than make up for low domestic ticket sales by bringing in about the same amount as the first Star Trek domestically — and double internationally. Like Iron Man 3, Star Trek: Into Darkness was released overseas before U.S. audiences could see it, having had its premiere in London and opening in multiple foreign countries before being released in the States. While this strategy has increased international sales, it could also lead to spoilers for American audiences. Paramount explained that they chose to release the film overseas first due to changes in The Great Gatsby‘s release date, which opened a convenient hole for Into Darkness to occupy. While some movie buffs are annoyed with the marketing strategy, it seems that as international sales of blockbusters beat out domestic sales, the trend will continue. NEW!

International sales have left Paramount feeling optimistic about the “Star Trek” franchise, with plans for more sequels in the future.
