When Bill Gross looks in the mirror, what does he see?
In his latest monthly "Investment Outlook" commentary, the Pimco chief waxes philosophical. He questions whether he and other legendary investors are really all they're cracked up to be. Maybe guys like Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Ray Dalio were just lucky guys in the right place at the right time.

Without fanfare, China passed the United States in December to become the world's leading importer of oil—the first time in nearly 40 years that the U.S. didn't own that dubious distinction. That same month, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania together produced 1.5 million barrels of oil a day—more than Iran exported.

Cramer’s Refiner Plays
Cramer’s Refiner Plays
Published: Friday, 22 Mar 2013 | 6:25 PM ET
By: Lee Brodie
Producer
"If you happen to be a refiner, you're probably doing very well right now," said Jim Cramer.
The Mad Money host believes that US based refineries are in the sweet spot, here and now.
That's largely because there has been an explosion in domestic oil production due to recent discoveries in places such as the Bakken and the Eagle Ford. That's helped moderate the price of US crude oil, also known as WTI, to about $93.
Brent, which is the benchmark, is about $15 higher. (The difference is known as the spread.)
Currently refiners are benefitting from that spread because they're able to buy US crude oil at the lower prices, refine it and then sell their products at levels based on the higher priced Brent.

An Energy Coup for Japan: ‘Flammable Ice’
An Energy Coup for Japan: ‘Flammable Ice’
Published: Wednesday, 13 Mar 2013 | 8:43 AM ET
By: Hiroko Tabuchi
TOKYO — Japan said Tuesday that it had extracted gas from offshore deposits of methane hydrate — sometimes called "flammable ice" — a breakthrough that officials and experts said could be a step toward tapping a promising but still little-understood energy source.
The gas, whose extraction from the undersea hydrate reservoir was thought to be a world first, could provide an alternative source of energy to known oil and gas reserves. That could be crucial especially for Japan, which is the world's biggest importer of liquefied natural gas and is engaged in a public debate about whether to resume the country's heavy reliance on nuclear power.
