Stock Picks - Tina's Top Three Stocks Set to Soar

With human dependency on fuel, stocks in this sector will continue to do well. Listed below are three solid stock picks that will do well in the upcoming months and into future years. The first is in the field of exploring and developing the production of oil and gas. The second provides construction, service, and repair to petroleum and power industries. The last is in the production of ethanol, the fuel of the future.

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (GDP)
Goodrich Petroleum Corporation is an independent company in the field of oil and gas exploration and production. The company, headquartered in Houston, Texas, primarily works in the Cotton Valley Trend in East Texas and North Louisiana and the transition zone of South Louisiana, but has working interest in oil and gas wells located in Louisiana, Texas, and Michigan. As of July 1, 2006, Goodrich Petroleum Corporation had drilled one hundred and fifteen wells in the Cotton Valley Trend with one hundred percent success. Their corporate strategy is to grow reserves, production, cash flow and net asset value through exploiting and developing existing properties, expanding acreage position in the Cotton Valley Trend, focusing on low operating costs, selectively growing through exploration, and maintaining an active hedging program. The company has had great sales growth and has a debt to equity ratio comparable to others in the independent oil and gas field.

Matrix Service Company (MTRX)
Matrix Service Company provides construction services, repair, and maintenance primarily to industrial clients, primarily those in the petroleum and chemical fields. The company is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has thirteen locations throughout the United States and one in Canada. Matrix Service Company is the industry leader in their field, and as long as there are oil companies, maintenance will be a necessity. With huge income growth and a low debt to equity ratio, Matrix Service Company is a solid stock pick for the future.

VeraSun Energy Corporation (VSE)
VeraSun Energy Corporation is the second largest ethanol producer in the United States based on production capacity. The company is a pure-play ethanol producer, focusing primarily on the production and sales of ethanol and its co-products. VeraSun Energy Corporation owns and operates two of the largest ethanol production facilities in the United States, referred to as the Aurora Facility and the Fort Dodge Facility. In addition to ethanol, the company also produces and sells two ethanol co-products, wet distillers grains and dry distillers grains. With ethanol being a better alternative both environmentally and economically, the use of ethanol in Flex-Fuel Vehicles (which all car manufacturers now approve in their vehicles), is the wave of the future. Profits are sure to continue to soar for VeraSun Energy in the upcoming years.
