The Federal Reserve kicked off its long-awaited easing campaign with a bang this week, cutting the federal funds by hefty 50 basis points. Investors viewed the aggressive reduction — the first in four years — as largely positive, with the three averages all finishing in the black. The S & P 500 advanced 1.36%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.62% to a new all-time high, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite increased 1.49%. That’s not to say it’s easy sailing from here. We still have a possible government shutdown, a hotly contested presidential election, and growing tensions in the Middle…

(Benjamin Girette/Bloomberg News) [Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] John Kerry, the Biden administration’s top climate diplomat, said the oil and gas industry must prove carbon capture can play a meaningful role lowering emissions or face a quicker-than-expected transition away from fossil fuels. Carbon capture utilization and storage is one of the oil industry’s favored decarbonization tools because it professes to continue the use of fossil fuels while removing their emissions.

I’m up around 68% since then, including dividends. Investors who got in early have done even better. Over one year, the Costain share price has climbed 78.45%. It’s up a mighty 143.82% over two years. That kind of performance is always likely to catch the eye, but also triggers my suspicions. Surely it can’t keep climbing at that kind of speed, can it? Can the share price keep flying? Yet the shares don’t look…
