Green chip review? Alternative energy stocks?
Has anyone suscribed to the green chip review and found it usefull?
Recently loaded up on some alternative energy and solar stocks (wfr, solf, csun, tsl) since congress has the energy bill vote in a couple weeks
comments?
The Expert answers:
I don’t subscribe to them, but I do get their free e-mails. I like a lot of the articles they write about everything in the alternative energy sector, they’re pretty useful! Although I’ve noticed that they do tend to mention a lot of penny stocks, which I stay away from, but you have a mind of your own and are free to buy or not to buy whatever you want.
Congrats on SOLF!!! I hope you got in a couple of days ago!!
Since those are all solar stocks, you might want to look at other segments in the alt. Energy market too: FTEK, ZOLT, ORA, FPL, CCJ, COMV…..I could go on and on!

What are the top performing Alternative Energy Stocks?
The Expert answers:
Alternative Energy is unfortunately a very weak market at this point. Right now, I wouldn’t consider it with the Bush Administration’s stronghold on keeping coal and oil going, however for the sake of giving you a top performing one, here’s one good company I have:
(ADM) Archer-Daniels-Midland Co: Primary ethanol, these guys have been up and down over the last 6 months, however I think they could be a good short-term buy. P/E is low, only 14. Analyst estimates predict 2.66 EPS by June 2008. Now, I haven’t seen their income statement or their cash flow, so maybe there is a reason behind their volitility, but if there isn’t I’d say this stock is highly under valued.

Alternative Energy Stocks?
When alternative energy stocks are going to take off?
The Expert answers:
Maybe never. Back in the 1970s, everyone thought alternative energy is going to go through the roof. The oil prices fell…

Susan asks…
Buying stocks of alternative energy sources?
Hi people,
I got interested in companies producing alternative energy sources or equipment for that industry and I have two questions:
1. what do you think about buying stocks of such firms?
2. could you name some companies in this sector?
Alternative energy would be wind, solar, methanol, petrol produced out of plants and similar sources
many thanks for your answers

Anyway you look at it SYNM seems to be on a free fall – why buy their stocks?? Can’t see a good reason. Plus they rely on natural gas which is by no means alternative…
The Expert answers:
This is a lot of risk in that field of technology. Wind and solar are years away from being economically feasible. The recovery cost on current solar and wind electric systems goes beyond the life of the equipment.
There are two areas, in my opinion, worth looking into: bio-diesel and coal.
A company call Nova Biofuel is going into production of bio-diesel. It’s currently a penny stock, selling at about $1.30, but is worth looking at.
Another company, Fuel Tech, has a new fuel injection system that helps coal fired furnaces reduce emissions and slag build up. It has just gotten a contract to install its system in several coal fired electric plants in China. With China bringing on one new coal fired electric plant on line per week, this could be a boon for the company. It’s current selling at about $26.
