Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of industrial gases producer Chart Industries (Nasdaq: GTLS  ) inflated as much as 11.2% today on above-average trading volume.

So what: CEO Sam Thomas and CFO Michael Biehl obviously rocked the house in their recent presentation at the Barclays energy conference in New York. In that spiel, management highlighted Chart's market opportunity in handling liquid natural gas, which just happens to be a hot topic today.

Now what: According to the presentation, liquid natural gas infrastructure will attract some $720 billion of facilities investment between now and 2035; Chart claims to be a leader in the field. Of course, smaller rival Matrix Service (Nasdaq: MTRX  ) and industry giant Praxair (NYSE: PX  ) might have something to say about that. Then again, a market that gigantic has room for several success stories -- and all three of these gas experts are well-respected in our CAPS community.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

    Anders- Praxair is an industrial gas company (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, CO2, etc). They have almost nothing to do with LNG, although I think they have a small business in Brazil. It's really not a relevant comparison to view Praxair as a leading competitor to Chart in the LNG business. You're comparing apples and oranges.
