Wipeout! New Update on Our "Green Bond" Investing (ESG) Forecast / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: EWI
Excessive euphoria in financial markets is usually a big reason to be "skeptical"
Environmental, Social and Governance bonds (ESG) -- also called "green" bonds -- are offered by companies which want to advance the causes of social justice, social inclusion and green technology.
This form of debt had been steadily gaining in popularity -- going from sales of less than $100 billion in 2015 to around $800 billion in 2020.
For instance, here's an Oct. 9, 2020 headline from Pensions & Investments:
University of Toronto's $7 billion fund makes bet on ESG debt
However, the Elliott wave structure of a global green-bond index was sending a warning signal.

The Election Does Not Matter, Stick With Stock Winners Like Clean Energy / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Chris_Vermeulen
If I put the pandemic aside and ignore the current jobs picture there are many reasons that I am bullish stocks. Housing continues to remain upbeat with sales near all-time highs and consumer confidence is rising, which means investors’ sentiment will continue to trend higher. What is most important is that stocks that have outperformed in 2020 will likely continue to outperform. So my goal is to focus on the winners and avoid the laggers.
The Election Does Not Matter
It seems clear that investors don’t seem to care who wins the election. Biden is up in the polls, and even though he has repeatedly said that he will raise taxes, the market does not seem to care. If Biden wins he will sign a huge stimulus bill and likely go for an enormous infrastructure spending bill that will propel stocks even higher. If President Trump is reelected, I also expect a stimulus bill with an eventual tax cut. While at Walter Reed Hospital, President Trump tweeted that if he wins he will push for the biggest tax cut in history. The bottom line is that regardless of who wins the presidency, stock prices are likely to continue to trend higher and ignore the weakening economic climate.

Green Tech Stocks To Watch / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Joshua_Rodriguez
Technology is a space that has printed millions upon millions for investors and continues to do so quite regularly. Within this industry, there are several sub-sectors, many of which are experiencing strong gains in demand, growth across the sector, and opportunities for investors. One of these areas is green tech.Over the past decade or so, an incredible amount of light has shone onto the carbon footprint that the current infrastructure of human civilization is creating and the devastating effects that this footprint may have on the environment. As a result, we’ve seen a global push for green and clean across various sectors, including not just energy, but automobiles, construction, and many other facets of business.

Why Renewable Energy Is Attracting the Smart Money / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Money_Morning
Dr. Kent Moors writes: While everyone's been fixated on oil, renewable energy has been gathering some serious steam.
Led by solar power, worldwide capital investment in "clean" energy surged by more than 16% last year.
In fact, spending on renewable energy was so strong in 2014, some have begun to label the recent rush into renewables as a "turning point" in the energy balance.

New Algae Research May Have Uncovered an “Energy Forest” Under the Sea / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Money_Morning
Dr. Kent Moors writes: I’ve never subscribed to the idea that we need a silver bullet to replace crude oil.
I’ve always believed the better solution would be to develop a working balance among sustainable and exchangeable energy sources.
Today, we have contributions from renewables like solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, and even wave and kinetic power, to complement the energy we create from crude oil, natural gas, nuclear, and coal.

Don't Give Up Yet: US Solar Companies can Compete with China with a Bit of Innovation / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: OilPrice_Com
The US solar industry is undergoing some serious growing pains, with bankruptcies and mergers a necessary part of that process; meanwhile, competition from Chinese solar panels has many believing that American solar simply cannot compete. Not so.
Solar's track record is certainly not inspiring: The past couple of years have seen a number of high-profile bankruptcies, including Solyndra, Q-Cells, Evergreen Solar and Abound Solar. At the same time, while Chinese solar companies have managed to avoid bankruptcy, they are in trouble and are posting sharp losses, and debts are not government-owned as most might think. Perhaps the Chinese government will bail these heavily subsidized solar companies out, but not necessarily as such a move would further imbalance the solar market.

Five Stocks That Will Thrive After the Solar Energy Industry Shakeout / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
With as much as two-thirds of the struggling solar energy industry expected to either fail or be acquired over the next three years, the table will be set for the survivors to capitalize on a market with enormous growth potential.
The process has already begun, with three solar companies - Evergreen Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: ESLR), Spectra Watt Inc. and the notorious Solyndra LLC - having declared bankruptcy this year.

Always a Bull Market Somewhere - Today it is Solar / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Trader_Mark
Except for the darkest of days, the speculator class can find a theme and run up stocks in that sector. Today the theme is "away with nucelar, and into solar!" Shaw Group (SHAW) which is the infrastructure company most affiliated with nuclear is being bludgeoned to the tune of a 20% loss (higher earlier today), and Cameco (CCJ) which is a uranium play is down 16%. Meanwhile, hile solars of all stripes are running to the moon as a wave of solar projects surely will begin in earnest in weeks. ;) Boo yah hot money....

The Best ETF for Your Portfolio / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Jared_Levy
As a kid, some of my fondest winter memories were driving through the different neighborhoods in and around Philadelphia where I grew up admiring all of the ornate holiday light displays. Of course, being a geek at an early age, I always wondered what their electric bills looked like and how rich someone had to be to essentially fire up 10,000 small lamps every night for six to 12 hours.

How to Get Even With OPEC When Crude Oil Hits $100 / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Jared_Levy
The meeting of the G-20 in Seoul this week still has not produced a solution or agreement to end the global currency war that is ensuing.
Because of the lack of a global currency solution from the G-20 and being that crude oil prices are fixed to the U.S. dollar... we can expect a weak dollar to equal high crude oil prices. West Texas Crude hit $88 a barrel on Thursday, after OPEC revised its 2011 demand growth forecasts upward.

Investing in Green Energy ETFs / Companies / Renewable Energy
By: Ron_Rowland
Remember a few years ago when “alternative energy” was all the rage? With crude oil trading at $150 and gasoline prices above $4 a gallon in many places, breaking free from our dependence on fossil fuels seemed like a good business opportunity.
As someone who greatly enjoys driving, air conditioning and electricity, I totally agree that it would be nice to diversify our energy sources. The question is: How to do it cost-effectively?
