Energy Stocks for Three Different Time Frames

In a column last week I wrote that "figuring out what stocks to buy for this kind of vicious long-term dollar/energy cycle is actually pretty easy." I still stick by those words, but for the record, I'd add, "It's when to buy them that's likely to drive investors crazy."

So in this column, I'll begin by giving you a way to figure out when to make your investments in energy shares so that you don't either buy high and sell low, buy too early and grow old waiting for your investment to pay off, or buy too late and risk being the greater fool.

And I'll end with a list of what to buy as well: 10 energy stocks for the short-, intermediate- and long-term periods.
