Alternative Energy Investment

diesel · Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 7:48 pm Post subject: Alternative Energy Investment

Looking into allocating some capital into the alternative energy area as I see it as a good long term play based on the following:

1. Geopolitics
2. Continued secular rise in oil due to depletion etc.
3. Global Warming mitigation.
4. Increase in enviromentalism going forward.

I am thinking of taking positions in the Powershares Alternative Energy ETFs PZD & PBW as previous attempts to buy into certain stocks in this area have proven a liability. Has anyone else looked into this area and have any thoughts, recommendations?

Regards,

Diesel

Of course what the autos need is stable fuel prices....high is easier to control than low.

Storms flowing across small grids will smack prices down--this welcomed "divine wind" will also scramble banks' amortization schedules on the main utilities--something unthinkable in an "inflationary" world.
