Subject:
The y/y spreads have come in decently over the past week and a half. The 2/10 spread has moved from 104 to 94. It may be a good time to move the 3-10 to a cal 2 trade. Pira just gave their seasonal conference in NY and they are very bullish long term gas.
Pira's
forecast Nymex
Cal 2 2.45 2.99
Cal 3 3.00 3.31
Cal 4 3.70 3.40
Cal 5 4.00 3.48
Cal 6 4.10 3.57
Cal 7 4.20 3.66
Cal 8 4.30 3.75
Cal 9 3.60 3.84 (TransAlaska Highway Pipeline)
Cal 10 3.80 3.93
3-10 3.84 3.59
Regardless of what you think of Pira and long term price forecasts, the rest of the market does listen. They have a tremendous amount of respect in the industry and affect how customers and producers hedge. The flow, which has been buyers over for the way backs, I think will get more pronounced, especially if the front goes down.
In the past week, I've sold Duke 40,000/d Cal 6-10 and 25,000/d Cal 7-10. I've sold PGE maybe 30,000 day Cal 4-5. The only seller has been El Paso whom I believe is hedging production. He is trying to pressure the y/y spreads as a spec trade that I think was/is being done to front run the corp hedges. I've used it as an opportunity to put a lot of spreads away for inventory down the road. If you want to buy this strip back in the next 6 months, I think it's going to be much easier/cheaper to roll it closer.

10/12/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Coalpower, the company set up by former RJB Mining chief Richard Budge, says it would like to build a coal-fired power station near its newly acquired Hatfield colliery in South Yorkshire, northern England.
"We are keen to build a 500 megawatt clean coal power plant and are talking to various people", Budge told Reuters on Thursday, adding the chances of such a station coming to fruition would be closely linked to the outcome of Britain's current review of its energy needs to 2050.
"Let's see what comes out of the energy review - if it's positive for coal gasification it will not just be our plant that will be built, others will be."
Coalpower acquired the Hatfield coal mine on Monday, beating off competition from U.S. energy group Enron and UK Coal (formerly RJB Mining) and is spending about five million pounds ($8.4 million) to restart production.
Budge said Hatfield has the potential to become a long-life pit with its 100 million tonnes of contiguous coal reserves and he is looking for output in excess of 500,000 tonnes a year.
"Hatfield is the optimum site for a coal gasification combined cycle plant", said Budge, adding Britain needed coal generation to maintain a balanced and diverse energy portfolio.
The government has said it is concerned about Britain's projected dependence on imported natural gas.
Conventional coal burning power stations are high in fossil fuel emissions, which many scientists believe contribute to global warming. But gasification combined cycle technology converts coal to a gaseous fuel from which most of the impurities are removed prior to combustion.
Supporters of coal say the clean coal technology can address many of the environmental concerns of burning coal.
Coal mining in Britain has been in decline for decades, but the fuel still accounts for about a third of its power generation and recent signs point to the industry enjoying a mini revival.
A doubling in the price of British natural gas over the last year has led to a rise in coal demand as electricity generators seek out the cheapest fuel in a highly competitive market. The increased demand for coal has propelled prices to about 35 pounds a tonne compared with 22.50 #18 months ago.

BUENOS AIRES (AFX) - Enron Corp water and sewage unit Azurix Buenos Aires SA faces a claim for compensation unless it reverses plans to rescind its concession to provide the province's water and sewage services, financial daily Buenos Aires Economico reported.
The damages claim would be filed by public prosecutor Ricardo Szelagowski, the newspaper cited provincial secretary for public services, Eduardo Sicaro, as saying.
Azurix said earlier this week it will rescind the concession on Jan 2, but continue operating the service "until the provincial authorities, or the operator it designates, take charge of assets and operations".

Enron backs away from Coburg plant
10/12/2001
Associated Press Newswires
Copyright 2001. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
COBURG, Ore. (AP) - Enron will not be a partner in a proposed natural gas power plant here, the project's managing director said Thursday.
But Gary Marcus, who owns Coburg Power, said losing the Texas-based conglomerate will not stop the project.
"Enron never drove this deal," he said. "I invited Enron into the deal."
Marcus said Enron's participation improved the quality of the plant's design but slowed the decision-making process. Marcus predicted he will find a new backer in less than six months and will have a license to build the project within a year.
Enron backed out because the project did not meet its market strategy, Marcus said.
Enron officials couldn't be reached for comment.
Enron's departure will do little to appease local residents, who fear that the power plant will harm ground water and air quality.
"I don't think it'll ever be built," said Kent Johnston of Coburg, a project opponent. "If the people of Coburg and Eugene have anything to say about it, it won't be."
Added Joey Gayles, a committee chairman in the residents' opposition group, "We're going to fight (Marcus) tooth and nail."
The proposed 40-acre site north of Coburg meets all criteria for construction of a 300-megawatt plant on 12 acres of the site, Marcus said. The remainder of the site would be used for buffer area and wetlands mitigation.
An additional eight acres will be required for the 600-megawatt plant that Coburg Power wants to build, he said. The larger plant would require additional permits that might delay the project.
Expanding the existing natural gas pipeline that runs under the site also would add to the plant's cost. The larger plant would generate the equivalent of all power currently consumed in Lane County.
Marcus estimated the cost of the larger plant at $300 million to $400 million. The smaller plant would cost about $180 million, he said.

UK Crt Blocks Challenge To Intl Arbitration In Enron Spat
10/12/2001
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
BOMBAY (AP)--A Commercial Court in London has restrained an Indian state government from blocking international arbitration proceedings by the U.S. power giant Enron to recover claims of up to $5 billion, a company statement said Friday.
"The injunction facilitates a timely and impartial review by the international arbitration panel of the dispute between the Dabhol Power Company and the Maharashtra state government," said the statement issued in Bombay, India's financial capital.
Wednesday's court injunction in London is expected to block the state government's move to settle the dispute in India through the state-owned Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Enron said the original contract for the disputed Dabhol power project required international arbitration. The company accused the state government of using a delaying tactic by trying to halt the international arbitration in favor of a settlement procedure in India.
Enron has a 65% stake in the Dabhol Power Co. Its 2,184-megawatt power project is India's biggest foreign investment. In phase one of the project, Enron supplied electricity from naphtha for its sole customer, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, which has said it can't afford the prices negotiated seven years ago.
The contract included a federal government guarantee to cover any nonpayment. Enron has said guarantee hasn't been met, despite two notices to the federal government.
The second part of the project, more than 90% complete, involves building a new plant to produce electricity from liquefied natural gas, and a container ship port to import it.
Houston-based Enron says it has halted construction for the second phase and it was costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Enron wants to pull out of India and recover its entire investment and that of its partners, General Electric and Bechtel Corp.

Enron has a 65 percent stake in the Dabhol Power Co. Its 2,184-megawatt power project is India's biggest foreign investment. In phase one of the project, Enron supplied electricity from naphtha for its sole customer, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, which has said it can't afford the prices negotiated seven years ago.
The contract included a federal government guarantee to cover any nonpayment. Enron has said that guarantee has not been met, despite two notices to the federal government.
The second part of the project, more than 90 percent complete, involves building a new plant to produce electricity from liquefied natural gas, and a container ship port to import it.
Houston-based Enron says that it has halted construction for the second phase and it was costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Enron wants to pull out of India and recover its entire investment and that of its partners, General Electric and Bechtel Corp.

INDIA PRESS:State Govt Restrained From Challenging Dabhol
10/12/2001
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- The Commercial Court of London has restrained India's Maharashtra state government from filing a suit in India challenging the international arbitration proceedings initiated by Dabhol Power Co., reports the Hindu Business Line.
Dabhol Power is an Indian unit of U.S.-based energy company Enron Corp. (ENE).
The newspaper says Dabhol obtained the court order Thursday, and the state government has 23 days to respond.
Dabhol is locked in a long-standing payment dispute with its sole buyer, Maharashtra State Electricity Board.
Dabhol is a 2,184-megawatt power project located in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Enron holds a controlling 65% stake in Dabhol. Costing $2.9 billion, the project is the single largest foreign investment in India to date. Newspaper Web site: www.thehindubusinessline.com

India: Enron may seek $30 m to exit Greenfield
10/12/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)

NEW DELHI, Oct. 11 ENRON is looking at a price of about $30 million for exiting from Greenfield Shipping Company, in which one of its affiliates, Atlantic Commercial Inc, is a 20 per cent equity partner.
While Enron's 20 per cent stake in the $220-million LNG venture for Dabhol Power Company comes to $11 million, the Houston-based company is understood to have put up a price of $30 million for exiting from Greenfield, bankers familiar with the developments told Business Line.
The $30 million price pegged by Enron for its 20 per cent stake comprises $11 million for equity and $19 million for swapping the company's share of the loan liabilities, the sources said.
Though Atlantic Commercial Inc is yet to make an official statement on pulling out of the LNG shipping deal, it is understood to have conveyed to the project lenders led by ANZ Investment Bank that such a decision was imminent in view of Enron's plan to exit from Dabhol Power Company.
The State-run Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) is a 20 per cent partner in Greenfield, while the remaining 60 per cent equity in the joint venture consortium is held by Japan's Mitsui O.S.K.Lines.
In view of the controversy surrounding the power plant, the lenders to the LNG shipping deal have declared an event of default and suspended the last tranche of the project loan worth $55 million. The ANZ Investment Bank-led consortium has already pumped in $110 million out of a total loan commitment of $165 million for the 137,000 cubic metre capacity tanker being build at Mitsubishi's yard in Japan.
The three promoters will now have to put in additional investments to the tune of $55 million to take possession of the vessel on the scheduled delivery date of November 15.
The board of SCI has not been able to come to a conclusion on putting in extra funds in the project despite discussing the issue several times. A board meet held on Tuesday to discuss the issue again ended in stalemate, Government sources said.
SCI's dilemma on making extra investments in the project also centre around the fate of Enron's equity in the deal. In the event of Enron pulling out of the LNG shipping project, its 20 per cent equity would have to be taken over by the two remaining partners. Besides, these two partners would also have to pool-in the additional investments of $55 million amongst themselves in proportion to their revised equity holdings.
"However, there is a great question mark over whether Mitsui and SCI should agree to take over the equity of Enron", the sources said.
During discussions held in London recently, Mitsui had clearly told the lenders that it was not in favour of putting in extra funds to salvage the LNG shipping deal.
Moreover, with the consortium now looking at a charter hire rate of $60,000 to $65,000 per day as against the rate of $98,600 per day agreed with Dabhol Power Company, both SCI and Mitsui feels that the revised charter hire rates would render their investments unviable.
According to estimates, at a charter hire rate of $60,000 per day, Greenfield is expected to earn about $22 million per annum. Out of this, $4-$5 million will be spent on operating expenses of the tanker.
The remaining $17-18 million will fetch an internal rate of return (IRR) of 7-8 per cent for Mitsui at an equity stake of 60 per cent.
"Mitsui feels that an IRR of this level was not sufficient for their investments", the sources said.
Whereas, for SCI, the investments would fetch a return of 4-4.5 per cent. "This will be far below the Government norm of 12 per cent IRR for projects involving State-funding," the sources said.

India: Dabhol gets restraint order from UK court
10/12/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Fin. Times Info Ltd-Asia Africa Intel Wire. Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd. All Rights Res'd
MUMBAI, Oct. 11 THE Commercial Court of London has given an ex parte order restraining the Maharashtra Government from filing a suit in India challenging the international arbitration proceedings initiated by Dabhol Power Company (DPC).
The Enron-promoted DPC obtained the order today and the State has 23 days to respond. Maharashtra has been restrained from "commencing or prosecuting or continuing or taking any steps in or otherwise participating in proceedings in any court or tribunal in India in restraint of or otherwise relating to the three arbitrations", the order said. The three arbitrations relate to State guarantees to the project.
A DPC spokesman said now "the arbitration process in London would continue as originally contemplated and agreed by the State Government and DPC. This has no bearing on the on-going proceedings involving DPC, MSEB and MERC before the Mumbai High Court and Supreme Court".
He also said Maharashtra is not a party to any of the on-going proceedings before the Mumbai High Court and the Supreme Court. "Over the past few months, the State Government and other Government entities have taken actions to avoid complying with their contractual obligations.
This has frustrated the rights of international investors that were legally agreed to by the relevant parties several years ago. The injunction facilitates the timely and impartial review by the international arbitration panel of the dispute between DPC and the State," the company said.
The arbitration panel had been constituted sometime ago and proceedings were expected to begin any time.
However, the proceedings could not take off as a dispute over the jurisdiction of the Maharashtra State Electricity Regulatory Commission had dragged on to the Mumbai High Court and then the Supreme Court.
Both courts had restrained DPC from continuing international arbitration pending resolution of the MERC jurisdiction issue. The State Government was expected to file a civil suit in the Mumbai High Court accusing the company of fraud and misrepresentation. Internal differences in the Government and the legal team over proving "fraud" had led to the resignation of the State counsel.

USA: Sempra's fiber/natgas technology could begin in Dec.
10/11/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 11 (Reuters) - A Sempra Energy unit said on Thursday its new system for running fiber-optic cable through natural gas pipelines, in turn leaving city streets intact, could begin commercial service in December.
Putting fiber-optic lines in existing natural gas pipelines - which already have cleared rights-of-way - could tackle the telecommunications industry's "last mile" problem of connecting end users to outlying fiber-optic cable networks without tearing up roadways.
A surge in demand for high-speed Internet access has led telecommunications companies to pour billions of dollars into vast nationwide fiber-optic systems that carry data to computers, phones and screens faster than traditional copper wires.
Sempra Fiber Links, a unit of San Diego-based Sempra Energy, made the announcement after its first installation of the technology in the gas distribution system of Frontier Energy, a Sempra Energy unit in North Carolina.
Sempra's technology involves encasing fiber-optic cable in a protective polyethylene conduit before inserting it through the same local gas lines serving utility customers.
The company said installing the cable would not prevent a utility from servicing its gas lines or keeping them safe.
Jennifer Andrews, a Sempra Fiber Links spokeswoman, said the company was discussing its fiber-in-gas system with gas utilities throughout the United States.
SAVINGS
Andrews said companies using the technology could save from 30 percent to 50 percent on last mile costs compared with traditional trenching and installation methods.
Sempra Energy unit Southern California Gas Co., one of the largest gas utilities in the U.S. with about 18 million customers, plans to use fiber-in-gas technology in its system as soon as it is approved by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Energy companies that have ventured into the fiber-optic business by building infrastructure and/or through bandwidth trade, include Williams Cos ., El Paso Corp. ., Enron Corp. , Dynegy Inc. , Duke Energy , Consolidated Edison Inc. and Montana Power Co. .
In March 2000, Montana Power announced plans to divest its energy business and invest the proceeds into its broadband and telecommunications unit Touch America.

GREAT 1997 CABERNET VALUE
RH PHILLIPS Toasted Head CABERNET SAUVIGNON/SYRAH, CALIFORNIA, 1997
12x750ml $13.99 per bottle (cash) $154.91 per case (Cash)
A blend of 55% Mendocino County Cabernet Sauvignon with 45% Dunnigan
Hills (Yolo County) Syrah this is a juicy, ripe, well-focused,
flavorful Cabernet-blend that exemplifies the excellent 1997 vintage.
Alive with flavor, it offeres black cherry, blackberry, and black
raspberry fruit along with notes cedar, black pepper, tobacco, and
leather. It has a great medium-weight feel and a supple texture.
It is alive, vibrant, and elegant in the mouth. Not complex but
super delicious. I almost don't want to give it the score it
deserves because I'm afraid no one will believe me; it tastes like
it cost much more and comes from a much fancier appellation.
Excellent. SPEC's Score: 92+ points. (Due to the fact that only
22 cases of this 1997 are available, this item will be sold at
SPEC's 2410 Smith Street Warehouse Store only.)

USA: INTERVIEW-Enron impatient at power deregulation pace.
By Chris Baltimore
10/12/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
WASHINGTON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Nearly 10 years after Congress passed the Energy Policy Act in 1992 to promote competition in the nation's $220 billion wholesale power market, Enron Corp is growing impatient.
From the U.S. Supreme Court to Congress and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Houston-based energy and commodities trading giant has spread its open-market gospel.
"Five years ago we clearly thought we would be much farther along than we are now," Rick Shapiro, Enron's managing director of government affairs, told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
"Finishing the job of making wholesale markets work across the U.S. is our number one objective," Shapiro said.
Enron has a large stake in the regulatory debate. With wide-ranging commodity positions from lumber to pulp to bandwidth, oil and natural gas, its strategy hinges on the ability to transfer those products from buyer to seller more cheaply and quickly than its competitors.
For the power market, that means Enron needs easy access to electric transmission lines, the interstate highway system that allows it to wheel supplies between regions and capitalize on short-term price imbalances.
UTILITIES BLOCK COMPETITION
Enron's big problem? Traditional utilities own transmission lines and have shaped the rules to block new entrants and favor their own generation, Shapiro said.
"Vertically integrated monopolies have been very effective in delaying wholesale competition across the board," he said.
In its pleas to Supreme Court justices and regulators, Enron has tried to empower federal regulators to force utilities to open their wires to competition.
The Supreme Court last week heard oral arguments in a case that could be a watershed for the U.S. power industry and decide whether FERC has the right to drive competition on state transmission networks.
In a classic battle of state versus federal jurisdictional turf, Enron wants the court to give FERC more authority to compel states to open their transmission grids to competitors.
Meanwhile, New York has brought a companion case that says FERC has gone too far and the court should give control of transmission wires back to the states.
"This is an example of an agency that has overstepped its bounds," Lawrence Malone, general counsel for the New York State Public Service Commission, said at the oral argument.
New York wants the court to revoke FERC's authority to regulate retail sales, contending electricity involved in such sales stays within state boundaries and is not subject to federal legislation.
"I think a victory for New York would be absolutely disastrous for consumers across the country," Shapiro said.
"FERC has jurisdiction. All they need to do is exercise it," Shapiro said, echoing Enron lawyers' case to Supreme Court justices that existing laws give FERC the power to do Enron's will.
Enron does not see a recent congressional push for energy legislation as key to its plans, Shapiro said. "FERC is doing its job on the electricity front. I'm not sure that legislation is required on that front."
FERC SHOWS PROMISING SIGNS
With new Chairman Pat Wood at the helm, FERC is moving in the right direction to drive competition, Shapiro said. "It's early in his tenure," Shapiro said of Wood. "Many of the signs are promising."
Wood has made so-called regional transmission organizations a high priority and set aggressive agency rules to drive utilities to join them.
RTOs establish common rules that allow utilities to smoothly trade bulk electricity across the borders of their own local transmission systems. Enron sees RTOs as a positive step toward competition.
In what he called a "carrots and sticks" approach, Wood signaled in late September that utilities must either join RTOs or face losing the right to sell power in wholesale markets.
FERC will hold a week-long meeting on RTOs beginning Monday.
Enron is skeptical that carrots are useful, and is a bigger fan of sticks, Shapiro said.
Utilities have "gotten quite fat over the last nine or 10 years," Shapiro said, and will shrug off FERC's incentives. "I'm not sure there are a sufficient number of carrots in the world right now to incentivize these companies," Shapiro said.

UK: Enron's European electricity trading volumes soar.
10/12/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - U.S. energy group Enron on Friday said it traded five times as much wholesale electricity in continental Europe during the first half of this year as in the same period last year.
Continental power trading director Gregor Baeumerich told Reuters the company traded 523 terawatt hours in the first half - roughly equivalent to annual German power demand - up from 93 terawatt hours in the first half of 2000.
"On average we are now doing around 200 deals a day with about 300 counterparties," he said.
Liquidity in Germany, Europe's biggest power market, had risen partly due to more trading by municipal utilities, he said.
Baeumerich said volumes in the French power market had risen sharply in recent weeks after Electricite de France last month auctioned off access to 1,200 megawatts of it generation capacity.
He said annual contracts for physical baseload power for 2002 were trading daily. Up to 30 companies participated in the French market.
"Utilities from across the continent are trading the French market," said Baeumerich.
Much of the trading took place on France's borders with neighbouring countries, he said.

Northwest Natural Picks Merrill, CSFB to Arrange $2.1 Bln Loan
2001-10-12 13:05 (New York)
Northwest Natural Picks Merrill, CSFB to Arrange $2.1 Bln Loan
New York, Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Northwest Natural Gas Co.
picked Merrill Lynch & Co. and Credit Suisse First Boston to
arrange a $2.1 billion loan to help finance its acquisition of
Portland General Electric, said bankers familiar with the loan.
The high-yield loan, the largest announced since the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, will include $450 million of
working capital. Another $450 million will be replaced by a junk
bond of the same size, the bankers said.
Merrill, which advised Northwest on its acquisition, will
manage the bond sale. Credit Suisse advised Enron Corp. on the
sale of Portland for $2.9 billion in cash, stock and assumed debt
to Northwest.
Portland, Oregon-based Northwest also plans to issue $150
million of common equity once the acquisition is closed, according
to Chief Executive Richard Reiten. The company expects a nine-
month to 12-month regulatory approval period, Reiten said.
Northwest is forming a holding company to take on the debt
needed to finance the transaction. Standard & Poor's said that the
debt at the holding company is expected to be rated below
investment grade. The utilities -- Northwest Natural and Portland
General -- are expected to keep their investment-grade ratings,
S&P said.
UK: INTERVIEW-Metals screen trade set to evolve - Spectron.
By Andy Blamey
10/12/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Electronic trading of base metals futures has established a firm foothold in the market but the nature of online trading platforms looks set to evolve further, says Gavin Gross, head of LME metals at Spectron Futures Ltd.
UK-based energy and commodities broker Spectron's electronic platform for the trading of London Metal Exchange (LME) contracts has become required viewing for traders alongside the LME's own system LME Select and the Enron Group's EnronOnline.
"I think we've proved that people will trade LME derivatives contracts online, because there are some great advantages to doing so," Gross told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"And unlike the physical markets, where things haven't really taken off online, all three platforms are pretty much indispensable to the market."
Both Spectron and LME Select are neutral platforms in which Category 1 and Category 2 LME members trade with each other, while EnronOnline is open to a wider membership but has Enron itself as the sole counterparty in each transaction.
This leaves a gap in the market for a multi-party trading system open to industry participants beyond the immediate trading community, Gross suggested.
"I think the clear trend for metals derivatives trading for the future is for open platforms which would allow dealers and clients in the market to interact with each other online," he said.
Direct access for clients to an electronic trading environment could mean changes in the role of the broker, he said.
"Clients will have the advantage of more control, more visibility and more transparency in what they do. However, they'll have to pay for services," Gross said.
"You could see a situation where dealers specialise in different areas - certain dealers would provide credit functions, certain institutions would provide clearing, others would provide execution and certain companies would provide market-making."
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
Difficult market conditions are already forcing metals traders to rethink their activities; this week alone has seen N.M. Rothschild & Sons exit base metals trading and both Bank of Nova Scotia and Enron looking to scale back.
"On the LME now you've got low volumes, falling volatilities, falling prices and we're in the grips of a bear market. It's very, very poor for business in general," Gross said.
"There are too many dealers around chasing a shrinking amount of business...Each company is going to have to look very carefully at their business and their staffing levels."
Spectron has not been immune from declining volumes.
"Our volumes for the first 12 months of operation were fantastic, way beyond what we had expected. However, our volumes have fallen in the recent quarter," Gross said.
"That's due to two factors: first, the overall market activity is lower, and second LME Select has managed to attract some of the business that we would previously have had 100 percent of."
The company is now looking at ways to further develop its trading platform.
"We're beginning to investigate ways to add certain features and do things differently. That might involve creating an alternative platform where clients could access prices and thereby widen the service," Gross said.
But, he stressed, "we have to keep the interests of our dealer clients foremost."
UNCERTAINTY
In the current environment, the LME's refusal to throw its weight behind either open-outcry floor trade or its new screen system - the exchange has taken pains not to express any preference and to "allow the market to decide" - may prove to be counterproductive, Gross said.
"By having two systems running side by side ... the exchange is almost moving in two totally different directions," he said.
"There's a feeling that the ring is doomed, which doesn't do anything to encourage its use, while the reluctance to fully back electronic trading means that you're still only seeing a trickle of business going through Select in terms of overall volumes."
While preferences vary in different sectors of the market, the current uncertainty is helping no-one, he said:
"Metals traders just want to trade. They just want to know with some kind of certainty how the market will be structured in future so they can structure their business to support that and make money."

USA: Citizen wins two Petroecuador oil contracts.
10/12/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
NEW YORK, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Oil firm Citizen won the remaining two of Ecuador's crude oil contracts by matching the price differential of $6.97 below West Texas Intermediate (WTI) set by another bider, Petroecuador said Friday.
Petroecuador awarded U.S.-based Citizen two contracts, each of 12,000 barrels per day (bpd), for three months after matching Coastal Petroleum's bid of $6.97 under WTI, with a floor price for WTI at $20 per barrel.
Petroecuador last week retendered eight three-month crude lots, each for 12,000 bpd, following a price dispute with former contract holders that led Ecuador's state oil company to break the deals.
Enron Corp. and Rio Energy were awarded earlier this week one 12,000 bpd contract each, while Anglo Energy and Coastal each will take two contracts.
The new contract holders will start loading their first cargo during the first half of November, a Petroecuador official said.
Petroecuador will set the price of Ecuador's crude for December and January based on market values.

British Court Blocks Indian State's Enron Challenge, AP Says
2001-10-12 12:25 (New York)
Mumbai, Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp.'s bid for
international arbitration over its Dabhol Power Co. project to
recover claims of as much as $5 billion can't be delayed with
legal action by an Indian state government, a Commercial Court in
London ruled, the Associated Press reported.
The injunction prevents the Indian state of Maharashtra from
initiating legal action that would delay arbitration of disputes
over the Houston-based power company's project, AP said, citing
Enron.
The injunction obtained Wednesday is separate from a case
pending before the state-owned Maharashtra Regulatory Commission,
AP said. The Maharashtra State Electricity Board has said it can't
afford the energy prices negotiated seven years ago.
An Indian court has ordered a stay until a decision is
reached on whether the commission has jurisdiction in the matter.
Enron has a 65 percent stake in 2,184-megawatt power project,
India's biggest foreign investment, AP said. The company wants to
pull out of India and recover its investment and that of its
partners, General Electric Co. and closely held Bechtel Group.

RE: New Power ,
We recommending they buy puts, (something about storage gas used as lending collateral needing protection)
I'm thinking that although New Power agrees, decision will come slowly
FYI we are bumping against our business units limits and we are over our Corp limits. Port is looking for Greg to discuss increasing Corp limits. I doubt Greg will want to increase business unit, but it would be nice to increase both lock stepped. stay tuned

For your radar screen, I'm hearing that New Power Company may want to hedge out exposure today. I'm unclear if it will be NYMEX, options or pipe options (T'CO)

COMPANIES & FINANCE INTERNATIONAL: Energy groups' earnings likely to be hit hard
Financial Times; Oct 15, 2001
By JULIE EARLE
Disintegrating oil and gas prices are set to weigh on third-quarter earnings for US energy companies due this week.
Oil drillers, which have been pummelled in recent months as energy companies scale back on drilling and exploration in response to lower commodity prices and the terrorist attacks, are likely to report sharply lower third-quarter earnings and could issue further profits warnings, analysts said.
Oil prices have slumped to Dollars 26.50 a barrel, from Dollars 31.58 a barrel in the year-ago quarter and natural gas prices slid in the third quarter to Dollars 2.63 MMBtu (million British thermal units) from Dollars 4.31 MMBtu in the same quarter a year ago, and from Dollars 4.19 MMBtu at the start of 2001.
A slowdown in activity in the gas-rich Gulf of Mexico following the September 11 terrorist attacks is also likely to hit offshore drillers' earnings in the next six months.
Global Marine, which is being acquired by Sante Fe International to create the second-biggest offshore drilling contractor, is due to report today. Consensus estimates were for 33 cents a share. Sante Fe International is also due to report today.
Salomon Smith Barney expects North American spending on drilling to fall by 20 per cent in 2002, with spending outside North America to rise by 10 per cent to 15 per cent.
Mark Urness, an SSB analyst, said earnings estimates for most drillers remained too high for the fourth quarter and needed to be cut. "We are expecting them to provide lower guidance for 2002 as third quarter earnings are reported," he said.
On the exploration and production front, Bill Featherstone, a UBS analyst, said fourth-quarter results for companies including Devon and Apache would also be hit by weak oil and gas prices. "Obviously fourth- quarter results will trend down for the sector given reduced oil and natural gas prices," he said.
Companies will need to show financial discipline and outline policies of keeping their spending in line with operating cash flow. Analysts are likely to look closely at capital expenditure budgets.
Energy trader Dynegy also reports today, followed by rivals Enron and Duke Energy tomorrow.

COMPANIES & FINANCE INTERNATIONAL: Tata in talks to buy Enron power plant
Financial Times; Oct 15, 2001
By SHEILA MCNULTY and KHOZEM MERCHANT
Tata, the Indian conglom-erate, has held exploratory talks to buy a controversial power plant from Enron, the US energy giant.
Tata Power, part of the Bombay-based industrial group, has written to the Indian government expressing interest in the plant, which is India's biggest foreign investment. However, it said any deal would have to address the high tariff structure and interest rate burden on the project.
Kenneth Lay, Enron's chief executive and chairman, told the Financial Times in August that Enron and its partners wanted to retrieve the Dollars 1bn incurred building the now-defunct Dabhol plant.
It is understood that Enron is considering an offer price of about 80 cents to the dollar.
Enron declined on Friday to confirm it was in talks with Tata, but said the best solution would be for the Indian government, or one of its Indian financial backers, to take on Dabhol.
Tata Power recently held talks with Indian financial institutions involved with the project. Officials from Dabhol Power Company, Enron's Indian arm, also attended.
About 70 per cent of the Dabhol plant was funded by debt, with Indian financial institutions providing Dollars 1.4bn and foreign lenders the balance. Enron's Indian unit defaulted in September on interest payments to international lenders, blaming stopped payments by the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), the plant's sole client.
Analysts favour a quick sale. "Tata would be a faster exit and resolve it once and for all," said Ronald Barone of UBS Warburg. "It is better to take a small loss and move along. Dabhol periodically becomes a problem and an issue, and it depresses the stock."
Analysts said the fit between Tata and its putative target would be complementary, though it would probably stretch the company's balance sheet.
The Tata group is already committed to a heavy capital expenditure of some Rs30bn (Dollars 625m) on power-related projects over the next three years.
A further Rs9bn is slated for telecommunications and broadband projects.

Base Metals Traders Struggle In Tough Trading Conditions
By Wong Chia Peck
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
10/15/2001
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
SYDNEY -(Dow Jones)- The spate of decisions by big-name participants to scale down or quit base metals trading last week didn't surprise participants in Asia, given the market's tough trading conditions, they said.
In fact, should the current dismal conditions prevail for the next six months, more such announcements are likely, they added.
Their comments follow the recent decisions by prominent members of the London Metal Exchange to either downsize their base metals trading divisions or quit entirely.
"Clearly, they, like us, are victims of reduced volumes," said a senior LME trader in Sydney, adding that all market participants are suffering from the declining throughputs and trade volumes.
Figures from the LME's Web site show that the trading volumes for aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc fell a total 10.6% to 41,027,075 contracts for the first nine months of this year from the same period last year.
"We're just seeing the beginning of it," a senior trader with a big U.S.-based trading house in Tokyo told Dow Jones Newswires Monday.
Last week, N M Rothschild & Sons Ltd. said it would cease base metals trading except for its Australian business.
Chairman Evelyn de Rothschild said in a statement, "In light of difficult trading conditions in the base metals markets, we have concluded that our limited base metals operations are no longer viable."
ScotiaMocatta, the base metals trading unit of Toronto-based Bank of Nova Scotia (T.BNS), said it would cut staff as well as exit LME ring dealing.
With ScotiaMocatta's exit, there will be 11 LME ring dealing members. These members have the exclusive right to trade in the open-outcry ring.
Earlier, Houston-based Enron Metals said it would cut staff by 10%-20% in Europe, while associate broker clearing member Mitsui Bussan Commodities Ltd. in July ceased its market-making activities to focus on clearing and broking.
The senior trader said he wasn't surprised by these developments and ominously projected more to come should the difficult trading conditions continue in the next six months.
Market Not Pricing Future Demand
"People are really not pricing any future demand" into their positions, he said.
One indication is the lack of forward pricing in LME's base metals contracts despite the current depressed prices, he said.
With LME three-month copper and aluminum prices around 25% down from their levels at the start of the year, he would have expected to see forward buying following previous experience.
"But if everybody's restructuring, you don't even know if you are going to be here into 2002, 2003," he said.
Despite having tumbled to very low levels, analysts and market participants project further downside for base metals prices as they push back forecasts of a price recovery following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.
One of Japan's trading giants, Marubeni Corp. (J.MRB), said Monday that the attacks have pushed back the timing of the aluminum market's recovery by two to three months.
It also cut its forecasts for this year's trading range of the LME three-month aluminum contract to $1,250-$1,450 a metric ton, compared with last year's $1,451-$1,730/ton range.
Indeed, the past few years have thrown base metals into extremely difficult trading conditions, traders said.
Just as the Asian markets were recovering from the 1997 financial crisis, the U.S. economy sputtered to a halt, they said. The terrorist attacks Sept. 11 and the subsequent retaliation threw a spanner in the works, they added.
The bellwether copper and aluminum contracts last week fell to their lowest levels in 28 months, while zinc prices also notched 14-year lows. Tin prices are at their lowest levels in 20 years.
A prominent casualty is the world's largest combined lead and zinc producer, Australia's Pasminco Ltd. (A.PAS).
Having to compete for business in such a tough environment, brokers have had to cut their commissions, said the Tokyo-based trader.
Another Tokyo-based trader said buying interest has been thin, as buyers prefer to wait for lower prices.
"There are buyers in the market, but their (price) targets are lower," he said.
He added that the company he is with stopped trading for a week after hearing talk that Rothschild was scaling down its operations.
At 1010 GMT, LME three-month copper was at $1,401/ton; three-month aluminum was at $1,302/ton; three-month zinc was at $791.50/ton and three-month tin was at $3,800/ton.

INDIA: Tata Power Q2 net seen down 8.5 pct yoy.
10/15/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
BOMBAY, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Tata Power Company, India's largest private utility, is expected to report profit for the past quarter fell 8.5 percent on year, squeezed by higher interest costs and slower sales, analysts say.
The company, which is negotiating to buy U.S. energy giant Enron Corp's stake in its troubled Indian unit, reports results for the July-September second quarter on Tuesday.
"I expect profit to be hit by higher interest costs on new projects such as transmission and telecoms, and sales growth to be affected by the absence of supplies to BSES Ltd this year," said Pranav Securities analyst Rohita Sharma.
She said the sale of power to BSES Ltd , a rival producer and leading distributor of power to Bombay, was a major factor in boosting sales in the year-earlier quarter.
"I see operating margins falling to 19.05 percent from 19.85 percent," Sharma added.
A Reuters poll of 14 brokerages, released last week, forecast net profit would drop to a median 1.27 billion rupees ($26.4 million) from a year earlier, on a 8.45 percent rise in sales to 10.11 billion rupees.
Tata Power generates thermal and hydroelectric power and distributes electricity across the western Indian state of Maharashtra, including its capital Bombay.
As part of its new initiatives, the company commissioned a broadband optic fibre cable network in Bombay in late August.
Jaideep Goswami, head of research at UTI Securities, said profit would be flat, helped by extraordinary income from the sale of its stake in Tata Liebert, a maker of air-conditioning equipment and UPS, or uninterrupted power supply, for computers.
Tata Power sold the stake for 765 million rupees in September.
"Other income will be a crucial factor with power sales struggling as a result of the slowdown in the economy," he said, adding it could benefit from some businesses like captive units.
Tata Power runs captive power units for India's largest private steel producer Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) and the country's second largest cement maker Associated Cement Companies .
An independent power project, in Belgaum, in southern India, went on stream in March.
SHARES WATCH ENRON
Goswami said the possible buyout of Enron's 65 percent stake in Dabhol Power Company could be the major driver for the stock.
"At this point it's by no means certain the deal will happen, but if it does, a lot would depend on how it is structured and the cost of the project," he said.
"It's definitely a big booster for sentiment as Enron's unit supplies to areas contiguous to Tata Power's," he said. "But there are concerns about how its cash flows will be impacted."
Shares in Tata Power were little changed at 97.50 rupees in afternoon trade while the Bombay benchmark index was up 0.7 percent.
Tata Power managing director Adi Engineer told Reuters earlier this month that he had held preliminary talks with Enron to buy the American firm's stake in the $2.9 billion Dabhol unit.
"Everyone knows some solution has to be found for Dabhol...we will go ahead with this only if it makes sense from the consumers' angle and the stakeholders' angle," he said.
Dabhol was forced to shut its 740 MW plant on the west coast of India, after its sole customer, a state-owned loss-ridden Indian utility, stopped buying power.
The utility, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, earlier defaulted on payments.
The shutdown has stalled an expansion programme, which was almost complete and would have taken the capacity to 2,184 MW. ($1 = 48 Indian rupees).

India: FDI: Suffering from sectoral infirmities
10/15/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Fin. Times Info Ltd-Asia Africa Intel Wire. Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd. All Rights Res'd
THE exit of Enron and AES from the Indian power scene has generated worry. For, more than affecting power generation, this might have a lasting impact on the prospects of foreign direct investment in India. This is because the US is the biggest investor in India, and power generation was seen as one of the most attractive areas. But, then, this did not happen suddenly, and the portents were visible from ever since Cogentrix pulled out.
But despite such fears, FDI increased substantially in 2000. On an approval basis, it increased 27.5 per cent in 2000 (from $6,750 million in 1999 to $8,610 million in 2000). American investments rose 14.6 per cent (from $851.2 million in 1999 to $975.6 million in 2000).
What then is the fallacy? One reason why the flows were not affected is that, overall, the FDI trend in India is not affected by any sector, no matter how important it is. Presently, the policy constraints to foreign investment are confined to select sectors, and sectoral policies are emerging the determinants of the FDI flow trend. The policies in some sectors such as power, telecommunications and oil may not be conducive, but in others, particularly manufacturing, they are comparable to any other countrys.
Even after a decade of liberalisation, independent power producers are finding it difficult to set up operations, with the State electricity boards in financial straits. Thus, of the 50,000 MW projects approved in the private sector, only 3,000 MW were added during 1991-99. Non-transparent policies in basic, cellular and wireless local loop services are preventing foreign investors from coming into the telecom and oil refining sector sin a big way. Nothing is as yet clear about the dismantling of Administrative Price Mechanism in the petroleum sector that is scheduled for April 1, 2002.
However, this is not true for other sectors. In automotive or in electrical/electronic industries, no MNC has so far pulled out. Instead, more players are coming in. As a result, the actual flow of foreign investments has been in automobile and electrical/electric equipment sectors though FDI was approved largely in power and telecommunications.
For instance, in 2000 nearly 30 per cent of the actual total flow of FDI was in the transport sector, mainly automobiles and electrical equipment industries against only 15 per cent flow in power, oil refinery and telecommunication. In contrast, 36 per cent of FDI was approved in transport and electrical industries against 41 per cent approved in power, oil refinery and telecommunication during 2000. The automotive sector attracted a $1.2-billion in FDI in the 1990s and grew at 20 per cent from 1991-99; the result of the flow of foreign investment and its impact on the industry.
Further, contradicting the fear hyped over the foreign investment prospect due to the Enron exit, a recent study by the American Chamber of Commerce reflected the US investors positive perception of Indias vast potential. According to the study, the country has the potential to attract FDI of $100 million over the next five years, if certain improvements are made in the regulatory measures and to the sectoral policies that are acting as barriers to foreign investors.
A study by the RBI unveiled a glorified result of the business performance of foreign-invested firms in India. The study, covering 334 firms, revealed that their average return on equity was 12.5-13 per cent during 1998-99 and 1999-2000, which, in terms of global standards, is lucrative. The interesting part of the study is that the rate of return on equity in case of US-invested firms was as high as 12 per cent. Japanese and British firms, however, recorded higher returns on equity 22 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively.
Further, these high rates of return on equity were reaped up mostly from domestic sales, and the firms had to exert less to export, and area where competition is intensifying by the day. The study revealed that the ratio of export intensity of sales was 4-6 per cent during 1998-99 and 1999-2000. That is, these firms are garnering higher returns by selling more than 95 per cent of their production in the domestic market. In terms of industry, the RBI study revealed that not only the return on equity, but also the growth rate of returns were high in automobile and electrical industries. Thus, the attraction of these sectors and the consequent large actual flows of FDI. The return on equity in the auto industry was 14.6 per cent in 1999-2000 the second highest after pharmaceutical and the growth rate in return was 27 per cent over the previous years.
The return for the electrical equipment industry was 10.5 per cent in 1999-2000 and growth rate in return as high as 40 per cent over the previous year. Therefore, the barriers often highlighted for the slow pace of FDI are not strictly related to the countrys overall policy. The FDI gets bogged down because of sectoral policy constraints, each different from the other.
The American Chambers study admits that such macro-level factors as inflexible labour laws and poor infrastructure play a relatively less important role in encouraging foreign investment than the sectoral policy constraints.
It is difficult to offer an ideal investment policy. But, certainly, the country has inherent strengths such as skilled manpower, huge domestic market and a stable democratic government that are conducive to attracting foreign investments. The RBI study confirms this. It only remains to tap this potential.

International: Indian Enron looks for way out of Greenfield Shipping

AMERICAN energy major Enron is looking at a price of around Dollars 30m to exit from Greenfield Shipping Company, in which its affiliate Atlantic Commercial is a 20% equity partner.
The desire to exit is part of Enron's move to pull out of all its projects in India.
The other two partners in the three-member consortium are Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), which has 60% equity, and Indian national carrier Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), with a 20% stake.
Greenfield Shipping had commissioned the construction of a 137,000 cu m capacity LNG tanker at Mitsubishi Shipyard in Japan.
The vessel, christened LNG Lakshmi, will be ready for delivery on November 15 this year.
It will be used for ferrying LNG from the Middle East to Enron's 2,184 mw mega-power plant at Dabhol, near Ratnagiri in southern Maharashtra.
Although no official statement has come from Enron, a source at ANZ Investment Bank, which leads the lending consortium of banks, revealed that Enron would seek the return of Dollars 11m as its share of the paid-up equity of Dollars 55m, plus Dollars 19m for swapping the company's share of the loan component.
The highly publicised imbroglio between Enron and Maharashtra State Electricity Board over the tariff to be charged for power induced Enron to seek an exit from the project.
This has induced the lending consortium to be extra cautious after having disbursed Dollars 110m of the aggregate loan component of Dollars 165m. It has asked the promoters to bring in this amount.
The intransigence of the lenders has left MOL and SCI with the difficult task of not only paying Enron off, but also bringing in the Dollars 55m debt amount, if they are to take delivery of the vessel on the scheduled date next month.
The SCI board has had extensive discussions on the subject, but failed to come to a consensus on putting in the extra funds. And during discussions held in London recently, MOL had clearly told the lenders it was not in favour of putting in extra funds to salvage the LNG shipping deal.
MOL feels the economics do not justify the extra expenditure. The consortium is now facing a charter hire rate of Dollars 60,000-Dollars 65,000 per day, compared with the rate of Dollars 98,600 initially negotiated with the Dabhol Power Company.
If one took a daily charter hire rate of Dollars 60,000, Greenfield would earn around Dollars 22m per annum, of which Dollars 4-Dollars 5m would be spent on operating expenses of the tanker.
That would leave Dollars 17-Dollars 18m, yielding an internal rate of return (IRR) of just 7%-8% for MOL on its 60% equity stake. This would be unacceptable for the Japanese line.
For SCI, the IRR would be even lower - 4%-4.5%, far below the Indian government norm of 12% for projects involving state funding.

Tata in talks to buy Enron's Dabhol power plant - FT

TOKYO (AFX-ASIA) - Tata has held exploratory talks to buy Enron's power plant in Dabhol, India, the Financial Times reported.
Tata Power has written to the Indian government expressing interest in the plant, though any deal would have to address the high tariff structure and interest rate burden on the project, the newspaper said.
It is understood that Enron is considering an offer price of about 80 cents to the dollar, it said.
Enron declined on Friday to confirm it was in talks with Tata, but said the best solution would be for the Indian government, or one of its Indian financial backers, to take on Dabhol.
Tata Power recently held talks with Indian financial institutions involved with the project. Officials from Dabhol Power Company, Enron's Indian arm, also attended.
About 70 pct of the Dabhol plant was funded by debt, with Indian financial institutions providing 1.4 bln usd and foreign lenders the balance.
Enron's Indian unit defaulted in September on interest payments to international lenders, blaming stopped payments by the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, the plant's sole client.

Qatar, Dolphin to sign final mega gas deal "shortly"
10/14/2001
Agence France-Presse
(Copyright 2001)
ABU DHABI, Oct 14 (AFP) - Qatar and Dolphin Energy will sign the final development and production sharing agreement (DPSA) for a multi- billion-dollar project to deliver Qatari gas abroad "shortly", the UAE Offsets Group (UOG) said Sunday.
"The development and production sharing agreement (DPSA) with Qatar Petroleum (QP) is due to be signed shortly," UOG said in a statement.
The state-run UOG added that Dolphin Energy will select by early next year an oil major to become a strategic partner in the project.
"Over the coming weeks, the international oil companies will be given additional data and invited to submit their offers by late December. One of them is scheduled to be selected in early 2002," UOG said.
UOG held separate negotiations last week with five shortlisted oil majors -- Conoco, ExxonMobil and Occidental Petroleum of the United States, BP International and the Anglo-Dutch firm Shell -- to replace the US firm Enron Corp., which withdrew from the venture in May and transferred its 24.5 percent stake to UOG.
Enron's role was to build a 350-kilometre (220-mile) pipeline under the Gulf between Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
The Dolphin project aims to create a regional grid taking gas from Qatar to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Oman and eventually Pakistan.
In a project estimated at an overall cost of up to 10 billion dollars, the gas is to be transported by undersea pipeline from Qatar to the Abu Dhabi coast.
The gas will be distributed inside Abu Dhabi and neighbouring Dubai through existing networks and will be transported between the two through a pipeline for which technical bids have already been submitted.
The pipeline will then continue overland to Oman and from there to Pakistan through an undersea pipeline. The extension to Pakistan is expected to cost up to an additional three billion dollars.

NATURAL GAS BIG IN STATE'S FUTURE > NEW PIPELINES ARE PROPOSED TO FILL NEEDS
Antonio Fins Business Writer
10/14/2001
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Broward Metro
1H
(Copyright 2001 by the Sun-Sentinel)
Prodded by rules requiring cleaner air and bolstered by a series of competing pipeline proposals, natural gas is set to become a major player in Florida's energy grid.
The state Public Service Commission projects that by the end of the decade, natural gas will account for 44 percent of the fuel used by Florida utilities, up from about 18 percent now. Utility companies use 85 percent of the natural gas burned in Florida.
As energy companies bid for the right to drill for oil and gas 100 miles off Florida's coast, other businesses are betting big dollars on natural gas.
Gulfstream Natural Gas System is already building a pipeline from Mississippi and Alabama across the Gulf of Mexico and into the Tampa area. Enron Corp. of Houston is proposing to spend as much as $400 million to build a pipeline from the Bahamas Port Everglades.
Enron's proposal is drawing rivals. El Paso Corp., also in Houston, wants to build a Bahamas to South Florida pipeline that comes ashore in West Palm Beach. And AES Corp. has purchased Ocean Cay, a speck of an island near Bimini in the Bahamas for an energy complex that will include a power plant and a gas pipeline to Port Everglades.
The proposals are receiving scrutiny from county officials and environmental groups. Ultimately, federal regulators must give their approval before a pipeline can be constructed.
Still, electric companies, which are proposing to build more than 80 new power plants in Florida through 2010, are looking to make heavy use of natural gas.
"Practically all the new units are going to burn natural gas," said Michael Haff, an engineer at the PSC. "That's the reason for the large increase" in projections of natural gas usage.
All this is quite a change for Florida's electric utilities. For decades, power suppliers have found it easier to cart coal and ship oil to burn in Florida's power plants than to pipe in natural gas.
Nor has there been much of a popular mandate for natural gas in Florida. Most users are small factories, public laundries and restaurants, where chefs prefer natural gas over electricity because it's easier to control the heat. With little need for heating homes in winter, residential use has generally been limited to barbecues, water heaters and stoves.
Consequently, Florida uses far less natural gas than many states. Household use of natural gas is less than one-fifth of what some households in other parts of the country use.
The motive for the switch comes from a combination of factors. The federal Clean Air act, signed into law in 1990, is forcing utilities across the country to reduce their dependence on coal and oil and to find cleaner sources of fuel to power their generators.
Natural gas is one of those options.
Alvaro Linero, the administrator who reviews power plants for the state Department of Environmental Protection, said natural gas emits no particulate matter, the tiny particles that can lodge in lungs and aggravate respiratory conditions. Unlike oil or coal, it gives off no sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain. It is also easier to control nitrogen oxide emissions, a key component of smog, when natural gas is the fuel rather than oil or coal.
Florida Power & Light Co., the largest of the electric companies, has already heavily invested in natural gas generators -- 21 of its 29 non-nuclear power plants are able to run on natural gas.
FPL said it turns to natural gas occasionally to save customers money, but the utility, regulators and industry groups could not say how much money is saved by the switch.
Another factor behind the projected rise in usage of natural gas is its growing availability. By 2005, natural gas supplies are expected to surge after one pipeline, which will run gas across the Gulf of Mexico, is finished. Local government and industry officials also expect the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will give the green light to one of the Bahamas-to-Florida pipeline projects as well.
Still, some environmental groups say that, while they want cleaner energy, they worry that the push to natural gas raises other fears.
One concern voiced by civic activists is that the gas pipeline project will create safety hazards at local ports and parks. Enron, which applied to build a Bahamas-to-Florida pipeline, said it has taken steps to make sure it is safe. But Broward officials and a conservationist group, Hollywood-based Save Our Shores, have expressed reservations in filings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which must approve the pipeline project before construction begins.
The safety of natural gas pipelines has received more attention recently. After a pipeline exploded in Carlsbad, N.M., last year, killing 12 people, the federal government moved to tighten regulations and require annual testing.
And the massive increase in natural gas use by the electric companies dismays some natural gas advocates.
They insist the best way to employ it is by piping it directly into homes for water heaters, stoves and even gas-run air conditioning units -- a more efficient and cost-effective use of natural gas than running electric generators, they argue.
But state regulators and industry officials say that it is too costly to hook up homes in established neighborhoods because of the expenses in construction and re-landscaping, so expecting large numbers of people to convert from electric to gas appliances is unrealistic.
Disagreements aside, the consensus is that the state's power utilities and consumers will soon have another fuel and energy option.
"We don't expect [natural gas usage] to decline. If anything, we may see an increase," said Lance Horton, marketing director for People's Gas Co. "At the end of the day, the customer is going to have another choice that was not there before."

Debt load smothers Polaroid; Bankruptcy filing pointing to sale, firings
GREG GATLIN
10/13/2001
Boston Herald
All Editions
020
(Copyright 2001)
Polaroid Corp., one of Massachusetts' most-storied innovators, sought bankruptcy protection yesterday in a Delaware court to reorganize its business and will seek to hasten a sale of the company.
The highly anticipated move capped a rocky period under Chief Executive Gary DiCamillo and marked an extraordinary fall for the 64- year-old Cambridge instant-photography legend.
The company that helped define Route 128 as America's Technology Highway, slashed thousands of jobs since its peak in 1978, when it employed nearly 21,000.
It has local operations in Bedford, Cambridge, New Bedford, Norton, Norwood, Waltham and Wayland.
Polaroid already announced plans this year to cut 3,000 jobs and reduce its work force to 5,500. Yesterday, the company said it will cut more.
It's been crushed by huge debt and battered by a sharp drop in demand for its mainstay instant film amid a shift to digital technologies and a weak economy.
"How such a place, with so much success and so much technology, could lose that much money and get into so much debt, I don't understand," said Lloyd Taylor, a retired Polaroid chemist who has also consulted for the company. "A lot of people I've known, both retirees and some that are still there, are just totally demoralized."
Polaroid, founded by visionary Edwin H. Land in 1937, said it will remain open for business and continue to make and ship its core instant-film products, even as it "accelerates and intensifies" its search for a buyer under bankruptcy court protection.
But it will slash operations, with an unspecified number of job cuts expected. Anything that's not part of its core business - products that rely on instant film - is subject to sale or elimination.
That includes the company's sunglass division, its photo- identification business, and others. Polaroid, already selling off real estate and other assets, will seek to sell more and will shutter plants.
Spokesman Skip Colcord would not provide specifics regarding closings or job cut plans. "I think everything's on the table," he said.
Polaroid confirmed it terminated its retiree health and life insurance plans as well as severance payments to former U.S. employees.
A federal bankruptcy judge authorized $13.1 million until Monday for employee wages and checks outstanding, said Polaroid lawyer Gregg Galardi. It will seek approval to continue employee health care benefit payments as well, and to honor service warranties on products.
In its filing, Polaroid listed $1.81 billion in assets and $948.4 million in debt. Top creditors include Enron Energy Services, Tad Resources International and Dupont Teijin Films US, all with multi- million dollar claims.
As expected, Polaroid said it had obtained a commitment for $50 million in so-called debtor-in-possession financing from a bank group led by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Polaroid will seek court approval to use $40 million of that loan Monday to meet obligations, including paying suppliers on or after yesterday's filing. Lawyers also said Polaroid had a $33 million offer for its identification business.
Crushed by the weight of its debt, including about $600 million owed to bondholders and $335 in bank loans, Polaroid had teetered on the edge of bankruptcy for months, and received a series of waivers on terms of its lending agreements, while it sought a buyer for some or all of its assets.
Its once-mighty instant-film business was turned into a cash generator to fund development of new digital-imaging technologies. Earlier this year, Polaroid unveiled new digital printing technology, code-named Opal and Onyx, designed to let consumers and businesses instantly develop prints taken with digital cameras.
Some say Polaroid lost a step with the departure of Land, its founder and visionary, who stepped down as chief executive in 1980 and as chairman in 1982. Land died in 1991.
A Harvard University dropout and son of a scrap-metal dealer, Land began to research light polarization in the 1920s, focusing on sunglasses, desk lamps and reducing car headlight glare, before turning to instant film.
As legend has it, Land took a picture of his young daughter on a vacation in Santa Fe, N.M., and she asked why she couldn't see the picture right away. Land set to work on the problem immediately, and before long was applying for patents.
By 1988, Polaroid was trying to fight off a hostile takeover bid. Financier Stanley Gold's Shamrock Holdings had offered $3 billion for Polaroid, or about $45 a share. Company management eventually rebuffed Shamrock, but spent millions in legal fees and racked up a massive debt to block the takeover bid, from which it has yet to recover.

Enron wins court injunction
Enron, which is poised to pull out of the largest foreign direct investment in India, has won an injunction from a court in London preventing the regional government of Maharashtra from challenging arbitration proceedings launched by the US power company.
Enron's opponents say the court decision, which is confined to appeals in India, significantly reduces legal defences for Maharashtra, where the 2,184MW power plant is located, and is likely to raise the stakes in the Houston-based company's increasingly messy attempt to withdraw from India with full compensation.
Officials at Enron's Indian arm, Dabhol Power, say the legal move was designed to prevent Maharashtra from trying to stall arbitration through endless legal obstacles. This is what has happened between Enron and its sole Indian client, Maharashtra State Electricity Board. Khozem Merchant, Bombay.

FW: Enron Europe Organization Announcement- VOLUNTARY LAYOFFS ,
Enron has had a very good year to date and we at Enron Europe have played our part in this. However, if we are to maintain growth levels, we need to focus very closely on our cost base and create more efficiencies in the current round of Enron Corp. budget reviews.
We are analysing much more closely exactly which businesses we derive our earnings from and concentrating our resources on those areas. We will be taking decisions to put some projects on the "back burner"and reduce the scope of others.
This will inevitably mean that we need to reduce our headcount both in commercial and commercial support groups as we seek to identify the best mix of skills to keep us on our earnings growth track. To this end we will be seeking to cut our headcount in Europe by between five and ten percent, but we will aim as far as possible to achieve this through a program of voluntary severance. Details of this program will be made available by Monday 8th October. We hope to complete this exercise and communicate the outcome as quickly as possible in October so that everyone knows where they stand.
Please feel free to contact either of us, but also talk to your supervisor about any specific concerns you may have and remember that you can also make use of the LifeWorks confidential counselling service that is available on 0800 169 1920.
We firmly believe that if we work hard together now to achieve these short term goals, we will create a stronger, more flexible team at Enron which will be better placed than ever to grow our business in Europe.

Opus One and more . . . ,
To Place an order . . .
PLEASE CALL 973-376-0005 ask for Order Dept.www.winelibrary.com
or e-mail us at [email protected]
1. #13794 - Opus One 1998 - $117.99 a bottle - On Sale
Limit 2 bottles per customer please!!
Well here it is again,the 1998 Opus One. Not much you can say here, except- keep those verticals going!
2. #15427 - Corzano 1998 "I Tre Borri" Chianti - $30.99 a bottle - (Only $24.79 when you buy a case)
93 Points - Gary Vaynerchuk - Wine Library
This wine comes in 6-pack cases
"This wine could go down as 1 of the top 5 wines I have had this year. I have always been impressed by this winery and the Reserva Chianti is amoung the best ever produced. The Riserva is 100% Sangiovese, from the oldest vines, with the best exposure. Vinfied in barrel, this silky, explosively aromatic Chianti is the best wine Corzano e Paterno has ever produced. Aljosha feels it best represents the wonderful vineyards of Corzano e Paterno. "Gary V - Wine Library Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
3. #13554 - Babcock 1999 Black Label Syrah - $54.99 a bottle - (Only $43.99 when you buy a case)
This wine comes in 6-pack cases
This wine is huge in every respect. It really typifies one of Babcock's favorite themes in winemaking-- the integration of amplitude and balance. In contrast to the 1997 Black Label Cuvee, this wine is a little more compact, achieving the same riveting intensity, but at a lower finished alcohol. The result-- a concentrated, teeth-staining wine, with elegance. Parker has now put this wine on the map,and Babcock has taken it to even a higher level with this massive effort ! Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
4. #13918 - La Fleur De Bouard 1998 Lalande de Pomerol - $27.99 a bottle - (Only $22.39 when you buy a case)
Featured in last week's Wall Street Journal! Limited Supply Avail!
"An outstanding effort . . . this 98 from Pomerol displays a brilliant nose and a deep, dark color. The fruit just seems to last and last throughout the palate leading you to a tremendously smooth finish. Limited Supply! "Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
5. #15875 - Bollini 2000 Pinot Grigio - $8.99 a bottle - (Only $7.19 when you buy a case)
"Clear, yellowish-straw color, with fresh white grape aromas and a distinct floral fruit found typical of Pinot Grigio. Citric acidity and crisp flavors, full-bodied and round, clean and fresh. If you like Santa Margherita you will never drink it again after tasting this wine!"Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
6. #16144 - Manzone 2000 Dolcetto D'Alba - $11.99 a bottle - (Only $9.59 when you buy a case)
Manzone is one of Piedmonte's superstars. The 2000 version of this Dolcetto is a very explosive wine and an outstanding value. The dark fruit and complexity on both the finish and the mid-palate is very exciting. If you are looking for a wine to drink with a steak or lamb I couldn't think of a better combo than this. Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
7. #11869 - Joel Gott 2000 Zinfandel - $14.99 a bottle - (Only $11.99 when you buy a case)
90 Points - Rob Hunter - Wine Library
This lush fruit driven red explodes on the palate, ripe bright raspberries and subtle cherry flavors come forth right from the beginning. Slight hints of pepper and spice intermingle on the palate. A true pleasure to drink, try this with your holiday meals. This also has a lasting finish that really rounds out this wonderful wine. Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
8. #13003 - Cline 1999 California Syrah - $8.79 a bottle - On Sale
Dollar for dollar this may be the best value in the shop ! Cline has always made great wine and this 1999 Syrah is an explosive fruit bomb. If you have been a fan of the Shiraz grape from Australia you will find this to be an amazing wine. Cherry is the dominate flavor in this wine and the finish is almost overwhelming. Don't miss this wine ! Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!

Questionable Mail/Suspicious Packages ,
The potential use of biological agents such as Anthrax in a terrorist attack continues to raise concerns worldwide. Here at Enron, the mail center and Business Controls/Corporate Security have already implemented safeguards so that all mail entering the Enron buildings will be screened in accordance with procedures for identifying suspicious packages. We are also in touch with the U.S. Postal Service and the Centers for Disease Control to ensure we have the most complete and up-to-date guidance for handling any possible Anthrax exposures.
However, should you receive an envelope or package that you do not feel comfortable opening, please contact Corporate Security at extension 3-6200 and we will screen it again.
To provide Enron employees with a better understanding of Anthrax and the potential danger it poses, we have posted a bulletin on the Corporate Security intranet site http://home.enron.com:84/security/002_bull_001.html that includes links to the CDC and USPS resources.

Enron Has Third-Quarter Loss After Expansion Fails (Update9)
Bloomberg, 10/16/01
USA: UPDATE 1-Energy casts some light in gloomy profit season.
By Per Jebsen
10/16/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
NEW YORK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Energy and mining companies have provided a few glimmers of light but otherwise third-quarter results on Monday and Tuesday are helping to fulfill expectations for the worst quarter in 10 years.
Technology bellwethers Intel Corp. and International Business Machines Corp. , which reported sharply lower profits, did little to buck the downward trend.
FirstEnergy Corp. , an owner of electric utilities in northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, on Tuesday reported a better-than-expected 18 percent increase in earnings, citing increased electricity sales and lower costs. Mining company Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. reported a third-quarter profit that reversed a year-earlier loss, due to higher gold production.
Yet such good news is proving more the exception than the rule. Top chipmaker Intel said on Tuesday after the close of exchanges that profits tumbled 77 percent as it suffered from slowing global economies and weak personal computer sales. PC maker IBM announced its first quarterly earnings decline since the end of 1999 as weak sales continued to weigh on profits.
Energy giant Enron Corp. posted a quarterly loss after taking $1.01 billion in charges. Companies from a range of industries reported profit shortfalls, including Caterpillar Inc. , the world's largest maker of construction equipment, and Unisys Corp. , a computer company.
"The earnings season is one that the market has digested and in some cases predigested as being just ugly, and therefore horrible or ugly results are not met with surprise at this point," said Michael Holland, who runs the $65 million Holland Balanced Fund.
FOCUS NOT ON EARNINGS
"The focus (for investors) has been and continues to be outside of earnings, that is, the war on terrorism specifically," he said.
Dynegy Inc. , a natural gas and power marketer and trader, on Monday said third-quarter earnings rose 62 percent as its backbone wholesale energy business nearly doubled its returns. While Enron posted a loss, it reported that its profit excluding charges rose 35 percent due to strong performance in its core energy business.
"Energy companies manage to earn pretty good money even when prices are down," said Jon Burnham, portfolio manager for the $170 million Burnham Fund. "These are good, well-financed companies."
Caterpillar helped to lead a litany of earnings woes. The Peoria, Illinois-based company on Tuesday said its third-quarter earnings fell 5 percent because of higher expenses and less efficient manufacturing.
The company also said it expects fourth-quarter revenues to be down slightly from the year-ago quarter, with full-year profit down 10 percent to 15 percent. It blamed economic uncertainty in the wake of last month's attacks for the expected shortfall, but added that 2002 sales will be at least flat to up slightly from 2001 levels.
Unisys on Monday reported its third-quarter profits plunged by 50 percent due to weakening demand for high-end server computers and systems integration work. It said it would cut 3,000 jobs and slashed its fourth-quarter outlook.
TAKING GRIM TIDINGS IN STRIDE
Other companies that have reported profit drops include Novellus Systems Inc. , a maker of semiconductor production equipment, and Charles Schwab Corp. , the top U.S. discount brokerage. Schwab said Tuesday that quarterly earnings fell 51 percent as customers avoided stocks all summer, although a surge in September trading pointed to better times ahead.
Money managers are taking the grim profit tidings in stride.
"Most of these earnings situations are in these stocks," said Burnham. "Barring unforeseens in the national and international situation, the market should work its way higher over the next 6 to 9 months."
"Whatever earnings are in this quarter isn't going to matter too much, except in cases where they're considerably better than expected or worse," he said.
This week is the busiest for earnings with 15 Dow Jones industrial average and 180 Standard & Poor's 500 Index companies scheduled to report.
Profits for the companies in the index are expected to shrink by 22.8 percent, according to market research firm First Call/Thomson Financial, making it the worst quarter since the second quarter of 1991. That's down from an expected 6.2 percent decline at the beginning of the quarter, and a 14.7 percent drop expected on Sept. 10, said First Call analyst Joe Cooper.
Some 85 S&P 500 companies so far have reported quarterly results. Of these, 50 companies have beaten the most recent, often lowered Wall Street expectations while 26 have matched and nine have missed forecasts.

"The focus (for investors) has been and continues to be outside of earnings, that is, the war on terrorism specifically," he said.
Investors are likely to pay attention to the earnings reports from tech bellwethers International Business Machines Corp., a computer maker, and chipmaker Intel Corp.. These are scheduled to be released on Tuesday after the close of trading.
Dynegy Inc., a natural gas and power marketer and trader, on Monday said third-quarter earnings rose 62 percent as its backbone wholesale energy business nearly doubled its returns. While Enron posted a loss, it reported that its profit excluding charges rose 35 percent due to strong performance in its core energy business.
"Energy companies manage to earn pretty good money even when prices are down," said Jon Burnham, portfolio manager for the $170 million Burnham Fund. "These are good, well-financed companies."
Caterpillar helped to lead a litany of earnings woes. The Peoria, Illinois-based company on Tuesday said its third-quarter earnings fell 5 percent because of higher expenses and less efficient manufacturing.
The company also said it expects fourth-quarter revenues to be down slightly from the year-ago quarter, with full-year profit down 10 percent to 15 percent. It blamed economic uncertainty in the wake of last month's attacks for the expected shortfall, but added that 2002 sales will be at least flat to up slightly from 2001 levels.
Unisys on Monday reported its third-quarter profits plunged by 50 percent due to weakening demand for high-end server computers and systems integration work. It said it would cut 3,000 jobs and slashed its fourth-quarter outlook.
Other companies that have reported profit drops include Novellus Systems Inc., a maker of semiconductor production equipment, and Charles Schwab Corp., the top U.S. discount brokerage. Schwab said Tuesday that quarterly earnings fell 51 percent as customers avoided stocks all summer, although a surge in September trading pointed to better times ahead.
Money managers are taking the grim profit tidings in stride.
"Most of these earnings situations are in these stocks," said Burnham. "Barring unforeseens in the national and international situation, the market should work its way higher over the next 6 to 9 months."
"Whatever earnings are in this quarter isn't going to matter too much, except in cases where they're considerably better than expected or worse," he said.
This week is the busiest for earnings with 15 Dow Jones industrial average and 180 Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX) companies scheduled to report.
Profits for the companies in the index are expected to shrink by 22.8 percent, according to market research firm First Call/Thomson Financial, making it the worst quarter since the second quarter of 1991. That's down from an expected 6.2 percent decline at the beginning of the quarter, and a 14.7 percent drop expected on Sept. 10, said First Call analyst Joe Cooper.
Some 85 S&P 500 companies so far have reported quarterly results. Of these, 50 companies have beaten the most recent, often lowered Wall Street expectations while 26 have matched and nine have missed forecasts.

USA: INTERVIEW-Enron says may partner or sell broadband business.
10/16/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
HOUSTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Energy giant Enron Corp. said on Tuesday it is reviewing strategic options for its loss-making broadband telecommunications business, which could involve selling the business or finding a partner.
"In addition to us looking at our business on a standalone business, we clearly have entertained some discussions on other possibilities," Chief Executive Officer Ken Lay told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Earlier on Tuesday, Enron reported that one-time charges of $1.01 billion for broadband and other businesses outside its core energy operations pushed the company to a third-quarter net loss of $638 million, its first quarterly loss in more than four years.
Future options for the broadband business include "sale, partnership, all kinds of possibilities" he said.
"We still think over time that it will be a valuable business," Lay said, but for now the broadband market is in a "total meltdown", he added.
Enron's broadband unit, which owns an 18,000 mile network, posted a loss of $80 million for the third quarter, but Lay said losses should be smaller in subsequent quarters.
Enron launched its broadband business last year, predicting that network capacity would one day be traded like natural gas or electricity, but it has recently admitted that it overestimated the market's early potential and has scaled down its operations.
Enron's stock rose by 87 percent last year, driven by enthusiasm for the broadband plans and the success of the EnronOnline Internet energy and commodity trading platform.
But the stock has fallen some 59 percent so far this year as sentiment toward the broadband project soured, CEO Jeff Skilling resigned after only six months in the job and wrangling continued over Enron's stalled Dabhol power plan project in India.
Enron shares on Tuesday closed up 67 cents, or 2.02 percent, at $33.84.

USA: UPDATE 6-Enron posts loss after taking $1 bln in charges.
By C. Bryson Hull
10/16/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Enron Corp. on Tuesday reported its first loss in more than four years after taking $1.01 billion in charges on ill-fated investments, including water and telecommunications services, which it said have clouded the strength of its core energy businesses.
Enron, North America's biggest marketer and trader of natural gas and power, said the charges were an attempt to put its house in order after a tumultuous year in which a new chief executive suddenly resigned and the company's stock lost two-thirds of its value as once enthusiastic investors lost faith in the company.
"What we've tried to do here is clean up anything that we thought needed cleaning up to get these distractions out of the way," Chief Executive Officer Ken Lay said in a conference call.
Lay reassumed the CEO mantle at Enron after his successor, Jeff Skilling, resigned in August after only six months at the helm.
Houston-based Enron reported a third-quarter net loss of $638 million, or 84 cents a share, compared with net income of $271 million, or 34 cents a share, in the same period of 2000. It was Enron's first loss since the second quarter of 1997.
The charges covered the company's loss-making broadband telecommunications business, its troubled water affiliate Azurix, and New Power Co., Enron's retail electricity joint-venture with AOL/Time Warner and IBM.
Commerzbank Securities analyst Andre Meade said it would probably take Enron a few more quarters to rebuild confidence in the company which was a Wall Street favorite just 12 months ago.
"They do a couple of things very well and if they stick to their knitting, they're a solid company, but they have stumbled when they strayed further afield," said Meade.
Enron's stock closed 67 cents higher at $33.84 on Tuesday, but for the year it is down about 59 percent, underperforming the Standard & Poor's utilities index .SPU), which has fallen some 23 percent over the same period.
ILL-FATED BUSINESSES
Originally a natural gas pipeline operator, Enron seized on opportunities created by the deregulation of U.S. energy markets to become the nation's dominant wholesale marketer and trader of natural gas and electricity.
The company moved into the water services business in 1998 by acquiring Britain's Wessex Water and forming Azurix, a unit which Enron took public in 1999 but had to buy back this year after it failed to meet performance targets and its stock price tumbled.
Enron helped set up New Power Co. and take it public last year but its stock has since fallen from about $28 per share to less than $2 as companies have found it hard to make a profit in deregulated U.S. residential electricity markets.
Enron also launched a broadband telecommunications business last year, predicting that network capacity would one day be traded like natural gas or electricity, but it has recently admitted that it overestimated the market's early potential.
Enron's stock soared past sector peers last year when it posted a gain of 87 percent, driven by enthusiasm for the broadband plans and the success of its EnronOnline Internet energy and commodity trading platform.
But the stock has fallen sharply this year as broadband sentiment soured, Skilling resigned and wrangling continued over Enron's stalled Dabhol power plan project in India.
Enron's third-quarter earnings before one-time charges rose to $393 million, or 43 cents a share, from $292 million, or 34 cents a share, meeting analysts' expectations of 42 to 45 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.
The company reaffirmed its previously stated earnings targets of 45 cents a share for the fourth quarter, $1.80 for all of 2001 and $2.15 for all of 2002.
DEBT ON CREDIT REVIEW
Rating agency Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday said it had placed all of Enron's long-term debt obligations on review for a possible downgrade. The writedowns would reduce Enron's equity base, increase its nominal financial leverage and materially impact its earnings, Moody's said.
Enron's third-quarter earnings report showed that income at its wholesale marketing and trading division, the company's backbone moneymaker, grew 28 percent.
The division, which deals primarily in electricity and natural gas, saw pretax income rise to $754 million from $589 million in the third quarter of 2000.
All of the income growth in the segment came from Enron's gas and power trading and marketing operations in the Americas, where income grew to $701 million from $536 million last year.
The European segment, which includes gas and power operations there and other commodity sales like metals, coal and crude oil, remained flat at $53 million amid lower volatility.
The latest earnings report marked the first time that Enron has provided a financial breakdown of the European and Americas wholesale operations.
In doing so, Lay delivered on a promise he made after Skilling's departure: that he would make Enron's financial reporting more transparent. Many analysts and investors had grumbled about a lack of clarity from Enron.

Enron Has Third-Quarter Loss After Expansion Fails (Update9)

Enron Has Third-Quarter Loss After Expansion Fails (Update9)
(Adds in sixth paragraph that losses are equal to 70 percent
of Enron's profits over the last four quarters. Closes shares.)
Houston, Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp., the largest
energy trader, had a $618 million loss in the third quarter after
expansion into water, telecommunications and retail-energy sales
cost the company $1.01 billion.
The loss was 84 cents a share after payment of preferred
dividends, Enron said. Net income a year earlier was $292 million,
or 34 cents. Revenue rose 59 percent to $47.6 billion.
Investors have sent Enron stock down 60 percent this year on
concern about investments outside energy trading and natural-gas
pipelines. Some investors praised Kenneth Lay, Enron's chairman
and chief executive officer, for acknowledging the failure of the
new businesses. Others said they're not confident all the bad news
is out.
``What is disconcerting is that they didn't do this sooner,''
said Donald Coxe, manager of the $352 million Harris Insight
Equity Fund. ``If you kill one cockroach in the kitchen, it
doesn't mean there aren't more.''
Investors have questioned Enron's financial reporting in the
past year, especially after Jeffrey Skilling's resignation as CEO
in August. Skilling, who helped Lay transform Enron from a gas-
pipeline company into the top competitor in energy trading, said
he left for personal reasons. Investors said they weren't
confident Enron was detailing all its problems.
Failed Businesses
The $1.01 billion in losses, which total $1.11 a share, are
equal to 70 percent of Enron's $1.45 billion in profits over the
past four quarters.
Included were $544 million for losses on investments in New
Power Co., a venture formed with AOL Time Warner Inc. and
International Business Machines Corp. New Power competes for
energy sales in states that allow consumers to choose power and
gas suppliers as they do long-distance phone companies.
The $544 million also includes losses from the Enron unit
that trades space, known as bandwidth, on fiber-optic networks, as
well as for the ``early termination of certain structured finance
arrangements'' with an undisclosed ``entity.'' Enron wouldn't be
more specific.
Enron said restructuring the fiber-optic unit would cost
another $180 million, including severance pay to 500 fired
workers. The business collapsed this year along with the fortunes
of the dot-com companies that were expected to be some off its
biggest customers.
The declining value of assets owned by Azurix Corp., its
water and sewage treatment business, will cost $287 million, Enron
said.
Enron might take a first-quarter ``adjustment'' of less than
$200 million because of accounting changes related to goodwill,
Lay said in an interview. ``If we thought there were any other
significant concerns, we would have taken care of them today,''
Lay said.
Excluding Losses
Minus the losses, Enron would have earned $393 million, or 43
cents a share, up 35 percent from the year-earlier period. That
matched the average estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson
Financial/First Call.
Enron has averaged quarterly profit increases of 31 percent
for the past year. Its wholesale services business, which includes
energy trading, had income before interest, minority interests and
taxes of $754 million, up 28 percent from a year earlier.
Shares of Enron rose 67 cents to $33.84. Earlier, the stock
had risen as much as 5.2 percent to $34.90.
``There's a sigh of relief that Enron's core businesses, its
energy merchant businesses, are OK,'' said Roger Hamilton, who
helps manage John Hancock's Value funds, which own 600,000 shares.
Enron said it still expects to earn 45 cents a share in the
fourth quarter, $1.80 for the full year and $2.15 in 2002.
`Ridiculous Investments'
At one time, Enron pinned high hopes on the businesses that
contributed to the $1.01 billion in losses.
Enron spent $2.8 billion in 1998 for the U.K.'s Wessex Water,
from which Azurix emerged. Enron sold shares to the public in
1999, and then bought back the company this year after Azurix
failed in its strategy of buying up water companies and winning
large projects. In August, Enron agreed to sell Azurix's North
American business to American Water Works Inc. for $150 million.
In February 2000, Lay said trading bandwidth could become the
company's fastest-growing business. In the latest quarter, the
bandwidth unit's loss before interest, minority interests and
taxes widened to $80 million from $20 million a year earlier.
Revenue plunged to $4 million from $162 million.
``You can make the case that Jeff Skilling leaving was for
the best,'' John Hancock's Hamilton said. ``Under him, they built
the best trading operation while also making all these ridiculous
investments.''
While admitting its poor choices, Enron also supplied more
information this quarter about how it makes money. The company
gave results of individual commodity-trading desks, including
coal, forest products and steel.
``I liked that they broke out the different commodities,''
Hamilton said. ``I think Lay has gotten the message loud and
clear, and that the effort is there.''

Third Quarter Earnings Results ,
Today, we announced our third quarter earnings results, which were right on target with analysts estimates for recurring earnings per diluted share of $0.43. This marks a 26 percent increase over the third quarter of last year, which is due to the strong performance of our core wholesale and retail energy businesses and our natural gas pipelines. In addition, we also announced that we are on track for our earnings target of $0.45 for the fourth quarter ($1.80 for 2001) and $2.15 for 2002.
We made a commitment to you that we would provide you with timely information about Enron's business strategy and performance, so this email is intended to provide an explanation about our earnings this quarter.
Over the past few months, we have met with analysts to discuss Enron's performance. We received considerable feedback from investors and analysts that we needed to expand our financial reporting to include details for more of our business units. In response to that feedback, we have provided results separately for several of our business units. For example, while we have provided volume figures for North America and Europe, this is the first quarter we have provided financials separately for Enron Americas and for Europe and Other Commodities. In addition, information about our global assets had previously been included in our numbers for Wholesale Services. This quarter they are reported separately. Finally, even though our broadband business is now part of Enron Wholesale Services, we are continuing to report that business separately.
Following are the highlights of our businesses:
Wholesale Services: Total income before interest, minority interests and taxes (IBIT) increased 28% to $754 million in the third quarter. Total wholesale physical volumes increased 65% to 88.2 trillion British thermal units equivalent per day (Tbtue/d).
Americas: IBIT increased 31% to $701 million. Natural gas volumes increased 6% to 26.7 Tbtu/d, and power volumes increased 77% to 290 million megawatt hours (MWh).
Europe and Other Commodity Markets: IBIT remained unchanged at $53 million as compared to last year. While physical gas and power volumes increased, low volatility in these markets caused profitability to remain flat.
Retail Services: Enron Energy Services reported IBIT of $71 million, compared to $27 million a year ago. So far this year, EES has completed more than 50 transactions with large customers and more than 95,000 deals with small business customers.
Transportation and Distribution:
Natural Gas Pipelines: IBIT increased slightly to $85 million in the third quarter.
Portland General: We reported an IBIT loss of $(17) million this quarter compared to IBIT of $74 million a year ago. This loss is due to power contracts PGE entered into at prices that were significantly higher than actual settled prices during the third quarter. Last week, we announced an agreement to sell PGE to Northwest Natural. This transaction is expected to close next year.
Global Assets: This segment includes Elektro, Dabhol, TGS, Azurix and Enron Wind. Third quarter IBIT remained unchanged at $19 million compared to last year.
Broadband Services: IBIT losses were $(80) million in the current quarter compared to a $(20) million loss last year. This quarter's results include significantly lower investment-related income and lower operating costs.
Corporate and other: This segment includes the unallocated expenses associated with general corporate functions. This segment reported an IBIT loss of $(59) million compared to $(106) million a year ago.
In addition, this quarter we announced one-time charges of $1.01 billion. Over the past few quarters, we have conducted a thorough review of our businesses and have decided to take certain charges to clear away issues that have clouded the performance and earnings potential of our core businesses. These charges include:
? A $287 million write-down of Azurix Corp.
? $183 million associated with the restructuring of Broadband Services. This includes severance costs, a loss on the sale of inventory like servers and routers, and a write-down of the value of our content services contracts due to the bankruptcy of a number of customers.
? $544 million related to losses from certain investments, primarily Enron's interest in The New Power Company, broadband and technology investments and early termination of a structured finance arrangement.
With our announcements this quarter we accomplished three things: 1) we showed continued strong earnings and earnings growth in our core businesses, 2) we cleared away those things that were clouding this superb performance in our core businesses, and 3) We expanded our reporting of financial results to increase transparency for our investors.

HOUSTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Energy trading giant Enron Corp. said on Tuesday its third-quarter earnings rose as its core wholesale marketing and trading division delivered strong returns.
The company said earnings rose to $393 million, or 43 cents per share, from $292 million, or 34 cents per share, a year earlier. The company reported a share loss of 84 cents after $1.01 billion of nonrecurring charges.
"After a thorough review of our businesses, we have decided to take these charges to clear away issues that have clouded the performance and earnings potential of our core energybusinesses," said Kenneth Lay, Enron chairman and chif executive officer.
Enron's non-recurring charges included $287 million related to the write-down of its troubled water venture, Azurix, as well as $544 million writedown related to various investments including its retail electricity provider New Power Co. and $180 million related to restructuring of its broadband operations.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call had expected earnings of 42 cents to 45 cents per share, with a mean estimate of 43 cents.
The results met expectations for a rocky quarter that included the surprise departure of President and Chief Executive Jeff Skilling in August, after just six months at the helm.
Enron shares closed on Monday at $33.17, down $2.64 or 7.3 percent on the New York Stock Exchange. So far this year, the stock has fallen some 60 percent, far worse than the 25 percent loss of the Standard & Poor's utilities index .

Enron Has Loss of 84 Cents a Share in Third Quarter (Update2)
(Adds profit excluding charges in fourth paragraph.)
Houston, Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp., the largest
energy trader, said it had a third-quarter loss after taking
$1.01 billion in charges for restructuring, investment losses, and
the planned sale of a water business.
The loss was $618 million, or 84 cents a share after
preferred-dividend payments, Houston-based Enron said in a
statement. A year earlier, Enron had net income of $292 million,
or 34 cents. Revenue rose 59 percent to $47.6 billion from
$30 billion.
The charges totaled $1.11 a share. They included $287 million
for asset impairments by water company Azurix Corp., $180 million
to restructure the company's unit that trades fiber-optic
bandwidth and $544 million for losses on investments including New
Power Co., a retail energy-sales venture.
Excluding the charges, Enron said it would have earned
$393 million, or 43 cents a share. That matched the average
estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call.
Enron said it still expects to earn 45 cents a share in the
fourth quarter, $1.80 for the full year and $2.15 in 2002.

OUTLOOK Enron Q3 EPS 43 cents vs 34
10/16/2001
AFX News
(c) 2001 by AFP-Extel News Ltd
NEW YORK (AFX) - Enron Corp is expected to report later today third-quarter earnings per share of 43 cents, compared with 34 cents a year earlier, according to the First Call/Thomson Financial consensus of 17 brokers.
The integrated energy company is expected to meet near-consensus results driven by its wholesale services division, analysts said.
Montgomery Securities analyst Daniel Tulis is calculating third-quarter EPS of 42 cents, 1 cent below consensus.
Full-year EPS stands at 1.85.
Enron's third quarter was marked by the unexpected departure of chief executive Jeff Skilling, for personal reasons, with Chairman Ken Lay reassuming the key position.
Lay is likely to remain in the position until it is filled within 12-18 months, Tulis said.
The company remains embroiled in arbitration proceedings in India after its 2.9 bln usd Dabhol power plant in India was closed. The plant's sole client, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), failed - and later refused - to pay bills that now total about 45 mln usd.

Reliant Hires Merrill to Find Buyer for Dutch Power Producer
2001-10-16 05:45 (New York)
Reliant Hires Merrill to Find Buyer for Dutch Power Producer
Amsterdam, Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Reliant Energy Inc., the
owner of Houston's utility, said it hired Merrill Lynch & Co. to
find a buyer for its Dutch power-generation business, two years
after acquiring the company from the government for $2.3 billion.
Reliant has already been approached by possible buyers, said
Clyde Moerlie, a spokesman for Reliant Energy Europe. The unit,
which doesn't have any household customers, earned $9 million in
the second quarter compared with $26 million a year earlier.
The U.S. company may struggle to get the price it paid for
the Utrecht-based unit, formerly known as UNA, analysts said, on
expectations heightened competition will erode profit further and
as utilities increasingly seek customers as well as power plants.
In the Dutch generation market, ``there aren't many
opportunities, but prices will fall to much lower levels as
growing competition pushes down tariffs,'' said Steven de Proost,
an analyst at Delta Lloyd Securities in Antwerp.
Houston-based Reliant paid 2.9 times sales for UNA in 1999,
while Electrabel SA, Belgium's dominant power provider, paid 2.7
times sales for Epon, the biggest utility in the Netherlands. E.ON
AG of Germany paid 1.6 times sales the same year for the generator
NV Electriciteitsbedrijf Zuid-Holland, or EZH.
Reliant joins rivals TXU Corp. and Edison International in
reassessing its European business amid disappointing earnings.
Reliant in July tied the second-quarter profit drop in Europe to
increased competition and falling margins in the Dutch market.
Enron Cuts
Enron Corp. said last week it will cut 10 percent of its
European workforce, while Edison Mission Energy agreed to sell two
U.K. power plants to American Electric Power Co. on Monday.
The U.S. utility said last month it was considering a sale of
the Dutch business after it was contacted ``by a number of parties
who have expressed an interest'' in its European assets, and as it
reallocates capital to fulfill ``growth objectives.''
Merrill already advised the Dutch state on the original sale
of UNA to Reliant, the only time a U.S. company has taken control
of a continental European utility. This year, Merrill ranks sixth
in advising on transactions involving a European utilities target,
with $6.9 billion worth of mergers and acquisitions.
Potential buyers for UNA, which provides about 20 percent of
the Netherlands' electricity, are likely to be companies already
present in the Dutch market, such as Nuon NV, Eneco, or Spain's
Endesa SA, analysts said. UNA may also attract generation
companies including Mirant Corp. and International Power Plc.
Atlanta-based Mirant and International Power predecessor
National Power Plc both bid for UNA when it was first put up for
sale. Central and Northern Europe are ``areas we're interested
in,'' said Aarti Singhal, an International Power spokeswoman.
``We're looking at all options,'' said Fransce Verdeuzeldonk,
a spokeswoman for Nuon, in an interview.
Spanish Interest
Endesa, Spain's largest power producer, agreed to buy Remu
NV, the No. 4 electric utility in the Netherlands, for 1.5 billion
euros last December. The completion of the transaction has been
held up by the Dutch government, which wants at least 51 percent
of utility company shares to remain in the hands of public
authorities until at least 2004.
An Endesa spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the
company would be interested in UNA. Endesa said in July its
purchase of an Italian generator was enough to meet its goal of
having 8,000 megawatts of capacity in Europe outside Spain.
Based in Utrecht in central Netherlands, UNA is one of the
four main power generation companies in Holland, operating six
power plants. It had 1998 sales of about $800 million and is one
of the only generation companies in the market up for grabs.
Germany's E.ON owns EZH, Belgium's Electrabel controls Epon,
while EPZ, another big power producer, is owned by Essent NV.
India: IDBI signals SOS for Rs 3,000-cr equity
10/16/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)

NEW DELHI, Oct. 15. INDUSTRIAL Development Bank of India (IDBI), the country's largest development financial institution, appears to be heading for some serious trouble.
A revised set of figures placed by the institution to the Ministry of Finance has indicated a cash requirement of Rs 7,000 crore over the next three years, much of which it is finding difficult to tie up. Besides, it has also placed a request for a Rs 3,000-crore equity infusion from the Government.
The revised financial projections were placed before the Finance Ministry last week by an IDBI team headed by the Chairman, Mr P.P. Vora. The meeting was attended by the Advisor, Ministry of Finance, Dr Rakesh Mohan, the Additional Secretary, Capital Markets Division, Mr S.K.
Purakayastha, and the Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Mr G.P. Muniappan.
At a meeting on October 5, IDBI had placed its capital infusion requirement at Rs 2,500 crore and immediate fund requirement at about Rs 5,500 crore.
Officials have been particularly concerned over IDBI's admission that it has been struggling to raise resources from the market due to the rating downgrade in August despite its massive requirements. It has also admitted to the Ministry that it may be heading for losses during the current fiscal. According to sources, the institution has admitted that the losses could spill over to the subsequent year unless assistance comes at an appropriate time.
IDBI has said the capital infusion of Rs 3,000 crore is being sought to write off a portion of the institution's huge portfolio of non-performing assets (NPAs), which at the end of fiscal 2000-01 stood at over Rs 9,000 crore in gross terms.
The institution has argued that only a massive NPA write-off would enable it to get back its rating, thereby allowing it to tie up the funds requirement from the market. IDBI's rating was downgraded by Crisil from AAA to AA+ recently.
IDBI, which was directed by the Government to submit a three-year cash flow statement during the October 5 meeting, has said the additional cash requirement for the three years alone stands at Rs 7,000 crore.
Of the cash requirement, the immediate need includes a Rs 2,200-crore repayment arising out of the institution's decision to exercise the call option on its earlier bonds series. The repayment would be due in March 2002.
Moreover, the institution also wants to keep itself ready in the event that Enron, the promoters of Dabhol Power Company, invokes its guarantee of about Rs 1,800 crore.

INDIA: Tata Power Q2 net up 74 pct, beats f'cast.
10/16/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
BOMBAY, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Tata Power Company, India's largest private utility, on Tuesday reported net profit for the July-September quarter rose 74 percent over a year earlier, far above analysts' expectations.
The company, which is negotiating to buy Enron Corp's stake in a troubled Indian unit, said net profit rose to 2.42 billion rupees ($50.42 million) from 1.39 billion a year earlier on sales that rose 17.54 percent to 10.99 billion rupees.
The performance was boosted by a profit of 660 million rupees from sale of long term investments in the quarter, against 210 million a year earlier.
A Reuters poll of 14 brokerages released last week forecast net profit for the quarter would drop to a median 1.27 billion rupees from a year earlier, on an 8.45 percent rise in sales to 10.11 billion rupees.
Tata Power generates thermal and hydro-electric power, and distributes electricity across the western state of Maharashtra, including its capital Bombay.
Ahead of the results, its shares closed down 0.62 percent at 96.65 rupees while the Bombay benchmark index ended 0.54 percent higher. (US$1=47.99 Indian rupees).

OCTOBER 2001 TWELVE-UNDER-$12
STERLING Sauvignon Blanc, North Coast (California), 2000
12x750ML $10.21 $112.42 Here's a well-balanced, medium-weight
Sauvignon Blanc offering classic grass, pear, melon, and lemon-drop
aromas and flavor and a nice bit of malo-lactic richness (but has
ample fruit and acidity to keep it fresh and lively). Long in the
mouth with good Sauvignon fruit to the end. Clean and refreshing -
quite tasty. Fine. SPEC's Score: 88 points.
LOUIS LATOUR Pinot Noir, Bourgogne Rouge, 1999
12x750ML $7.87 $86.58 Here's a super, bargain-priced Burgundy
featuring lots of juicy dark-cherry fruit with hints of cola and
chocolate and good earth notes. Long and focused, it really lasts
in the mouth. It has enough tannin to offer some weight and
chewiness but not so much that it overwhelms the wine. Serve
cool (55-60?). Fine. SPEC's Score: 88 points.
TOAD HOLLOW Chardonnay, California, 2000
12x750ML $10.99 $121.08 A blend of 50% Sonoma County Chardonnay
and 50% Mendocino County Chardonnay all grown in cooler areas and
fermented in stainless steel tanks with full malolactic
fermentations, the result is a lovely, balanced, pure, juicy,
ripe Chardonnay offering lots of fruit in the banana and pear range
with good richness and no "splinters" (of oak). Finishes fresh and
clean. Fine. SPEC's Score: 89 points.
GOATS DO ROAM Red, Western Cape (South Africa), NV
12x750ML $7.61 $83.78 A blend of 33% Pinotage, 22% Syrah,
13% Cinsault, 13% Grenache 10% Carignan, 5% Gamay, and
4% Mourvedre, this Cotes du Rhone-style (get it?) red shows good
richness and plenty of dark grapy fruit with notes of spice and
pepper. The texture is nicely chewy with good weight in the mouth
and a good feel. This is a solidly enjoyable, quite versatile,
everyday drinking red. Very Good+. SPEC's Score: 87+ points.
LA VIS Pinot Nero, Trentino (Italy), 2000
12x750ML $10.71 $117.30 Unusual fresh, lively, red-berry and
red-cherry fruit-oriented Pinot Noir (Nero) from the Trentino
region of northeastern Italy featuring a hint of cola and fresh
crushed berry tannins. Spicy and alive with flavor and character.
Medium weight with just a touch of chewiness. Moves toward black
cherry as it develops in the glass. Quite refreshing. Serve
cool (50-55?). Very Good. SPEC's Score: 87 points.
PIERRE BONIFACE Rousette de Savoie "les Rocailles" (France), 2000
12x750ml $9.41 $104.26 This delightful, off-the-beaten-path,
balanced, super-fruity, fresh, dry white features a nose that is
initially a little closed but the palate reveals plenty of mixed
tree fruit (peach, yellow cherry, etc.) and wildflower perfume.
It has a lovely refreshing texture and feel in the mouth with a
thrilling balance. The super-long finish hints at lemon drops at
the end. Wonderful as an aperitif. Delicious and Excellent. SPEC's
Score: 91 Points. (This was an email special in July that got such
a great response we decided to buy more so that we could offer it
in the Twelve-Under-$12)
PAOLO SARACCO Moscato d'Asti (Italy), 2000
12x750ML $11.82 $130.90 This delicious, half-sparkling, juicy,
ripe, naturally low-alcohol (7%), white is bursting with aromatic
fruit in the classic Muscat range: lemon drop, honeysuckle, cirtus
zest, and apricot. The palate is light, thrilling, and super
refreshing and offers pure pleasure. Lasts and lasts in the
mouth; finishes tingly clean. Excellent. SPEC's Score: 91 points.
LE FAUX FROG Chardonnay, Limoux - Vin de Pays d'Oc (France), 1999
12x750ML $6.76 $74.46 Also from Todd Williams of Sonoma County?s
Toad Hollow, this is a juicy, low-acid, pineapple fruit oriented
Chardonnay made in the style of a clean Aussie Chard. It has a
good balance and feel with a nice richness but is not tarted up
with oak chips and sugar like so many "value-priced" (cheap)
Chardonnays. Finishes dry and clean. Very Good.
SPEC's Score: 86+ points.
FOREST GLEN Merlot, California, 1999
12x750ML $6.88 $76.61 Here's a balanced, juicy, ripe cherry
fruit-oriented Merlot with a fine medium-weight style and a nice
texture. Dry and mouth-filling with hints of earth and wood that
compliment and round out the juicy fruit. Very Good.
SPEC's Score: 86 points.
PENFOLD's Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, South Australia,
1999 12x750ML $8.46 $93.11 This blend of 74% Syrah and
26% Cabernet Sauvignon features lots of ripe, earthy, black
raspberry and blackberry fruit with plenty of white pepper
character, a nice note of cassis, and a touch of tobacco. Quite
spicy in the mouth. Fine length. Very Good+.
SPEC's Score: 87 points.
ALAMOS RIDGE Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza (Argentina), 1999
12x750ML $9.27 $101.57 Quite tasty, very juicy, classically
Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon with lots of blackberry fruit layerd
over a core of dusty oak and earthy terroir. It has a somewhat
rustic character with a nicely chewy texture. Long and dry with
a fine, perfumed berry note that really lingers. Fine.
SPEC's Score: 88+ points.
JEWEL Viognier, California, 200O
12x750ML $10.23 $113.33 Lovely, aromatic, juicy Viognier with
crisp fruit in the peach-apricot-and-ripe-pear range with a
solid honeysuckle note and a hint of Gewurztraminer-like hops
character. Fresh, refreshing, and lively but with a soft texture.
Long, perfumed finish. A real deal on a Viognier this good. Fine.
SPEC's Score: 88+ points.

market ,
awesome call on cash.. it does not get any better than that.. you picked the bottom- i am getting it slowly.. lots of calls today from people i do not speak to every day.. not too much panic from guys who are short.. most looking to put more on.. selling dec01 outright or buying gas daily puts on dec and jan... except pulaski who pared down dec01 short with us from 4000 to 1000.. do not think he's got on alot elsewhere. no one has anything on longer dated.. no one can figure out economy...
questions:
1. why would any of the discretionary storage operators withdraw gas in the winter based on the current curve?
2. where do you think index gets set this month? i am thinking that utilities will overestimate loads for Nov01 and buy more during bidweek.. index gets set high and depending on Nov weather.. it could come back onto the market weakening cash again..
3. do you have a view on eastern power for the winter? i do not understand the market drivers in the winter.
thanks very much,
c

lot size eol/renaissance/other funds ,
hi.... is there any way for you to put the same number of lots on the lot size product as you have on the standard MMBtu per day product?
You have 10 lots out there now for Nov01 and 20,000/ day on the standard... can you offer 60 contracts (20,000*30) on the lots size.. the people that the product was meant for can just click their one or two lots.. its going to be the same price as the standard Nov01 contract right?
The physical standard is a limitation for funds.. all of them trade lots.. no one wants to sit there and figure out the contracts however easy it is.
I think I can get at least 4 more funds on EOL if you can do just this..these are people outside the Campbell types who can not trade OTC. EOL is great for funds like Ren whose traders get buy/sell orders at the beginning of the trade day (I assume they get signals on close) and have discretion on how to execute through the day. Versus Campbell who gets a signal and executes orders immediately regardless of liquidity.. its all to do with the way they view slipage
Liz at Renaissance was not giving you the whole picture on how much they trade.. they are an 8 Billion fund.
Last year they traded:
156,000 crude contracts- most in one day.. 6,000 contracts
85,000 nat gas- 6,000 highest one day
40,000 Nickel-1,000 highest one day
120,000 Ali- 6,000
52,000 Cu- 5,000
24,000 Zn- 2,000
The only other energy counterparty they have is Goldman (this is the case with a lot of the program traders).. they tried MS, but said they were terrible..

Not so impressed with David goldman. For a guy who has worked in derivatives for 10 years, couldnt answer some simple questions. Very poor financial derivatives knowledge even though he worked at CRT for a long time and a Lyonnais for a while. The only value I see in him is that he worked at BP for a while and might have some knowledge as to how they work.

Re: astros tix ,
I will close the auction at noon as I advertised, if nobody buys them by
then, I'll sell them to you for $300. I know what you mean, the combo of
Bonds getting walked all the time and the Stros getting killed really sucks.
