Is it good to invest money in buying stocks in Hybrid and other alternative technologies?
I want to know if it is at this point “wise” to buy stocks and invest in technologies such as Hybrid manufacturing and other alternative energy technologies since I believe this is the future of automation. With the intrdouction of Hybrids by car manfacturers I believe that eventually it will replace gasoline powered cars.
The Expert answers:
It depends upon the price you need to pay to invest in these technologies. To provide an example, had you purchased RCA at its peak in 1929, over its entire lifetime from that point until it was acquired by Bertlesman, it never reached more than 50% of its 1929 price. As the future would work out, television was bigger than anyone believed and RCA made more money than anyone thought possible. However, at its peak, the price was so high that there is no way RCA could ever have made enough money to meet the requirements that price produced. Just as when Yahoo! Was at 230 per share. At that price, Yahoo! Would have had to have been the sole source of advertising nation wide, forever, and advertising rates would have had to climb at their historical rates and Yahoo!’s margins could not have fell.
Price is everything.
Susan asks…
Best ETF/stocks to watch for alternative (wind) energy?
The Expert answers:
An ETF which invests exclusively in Wind Power may be a little too specialised, but you may want to consider the Lyxor ETF New Energy, whose top holding at 12.93% is in a Company called Vestas Wind. Over one year the fund has grown by 10.97% and over three years by 122.69%. This theme of the industrialised countries trying to move away from oil-based energy is topical and should remain so in the near future.

William asks…
What kind of industry is alternative energy under on http://screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html?
The Expert answers:
The answer to your question varies. Some alternative energies such as fuel cells or solar power are technology-related, while wind turbines are considered industrial. I would suggest searching for a list of alternative energy companies using Yahoo! Or Google’s search features. Often, you can find lists of many, if not all, of the companies in the alternative energy space, or in a particular type of alternative energy. Searching for it on Yahoo! Finance could prove to be a challenge. I have included a link for a search of alternative energy stocks that may help. This is probably your most time-efficient option. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
