2009 Investing Tips: Green Energy Mutual Funds to consider for dollar cost averaging
Historically, the last part of a downswing or equity market correction, plus the initial months of an upswing, offer the best time period to iniate dollar cost averaging strategies that allow an investor to gain significant equity positions while diversifying entry point risk.
Put more simply, whether you are investing $100 per month or $1,000 or $10,000, acquiring positions during The Troubles allows you to be ahead of the crowd and pick up shares at what should prove to be historically low price levels. Anyone with fifteen or more years to retirement would be very wise to begin accumulating positions in well-run clean energy equity investment funds.

Democratic Presidents and Unified House / Senate deliver best stock market returns
After living through the disatrous Bush era and remembering the Clinton era vividly (I spent most of it with Altamira), I was wondering if this outperformance of Democratic Presidents existed in history. The research predates the current collapse and the trend not only exists, but persists.
From The Democratic Dividend by Slate's Carol Vivant:
But Democrats, it turns out, are much better for the stock market than Republicans. Slate ran the numbers and found that since 1900, Democratic presidents have produced a 12.3 percent annual total return on the S&P 500, but Republicans only an 8 percent return. In 2000, the Stock Trader's Almanac, which slices and dices Wall Street performance figures like baseball stats, came up with nearly the same numbers (13.4 percent versus 8.1 percent) by measuring Dow price appreciation. (Most of the 20th century's bear markets, incidentally, have been Republican bear markets: the Crash of '29, the early '70s oil shock, the '87 correction, and the current stall occurred under GOP presidents.)
Nor does having a Republican Congress help the market. A Democratic Senate showed returns of 10.5 percent (versus 9.4 percent for a GOP upper chamber), and a Democratic House returned 10.9 percent versus 8.1 percent for the Republicans.
When both houses of Congress opposed the president, the return was a stellar 12.9 percent. Libertarians may celebrate this as proof that the market likes gridlock and government inaction. But the market likes steamrollers nearly as much: The S&P performs almost as well—returning 11.8 percent—when the presidency and both houses are held by the same party. The only situation Mr. Market dislikes is what we have now: one house for each party. Those years have a -0.9 percent return.
Republicans are no doubt muttering that that's just the stock market, not the whole economy. But real GDP growth follows the same pattern. Since 1930 (the first year decent data is available), GDP growth was 5.4 percent for Democratic presidents and 1.6 percent for Republicans.
Considering that the Dow is lower than it was when Bush took office, and now testing the 2004 lows, one can make an extremely strong case for an equity bull market during the first term of President Obama. What's left in 2008 is the November month-end rally, some but not a lot (who has profits to offset??) of tax loss selling the first third of December, followed by year end and early January portfolio rebablancing rallies.
Then it's inauguration time and after that we'll see if investors begin to once again have faith in stocks and America. My guess is that they will.

Greenest Cheapest Stocks On Earth
For those considering a re-entry into the stock market, or for longterm investors beginning dollar-cost averaging programs into growth-oriented mutual funds, the mid-November valuations are much more attractive than even the quality pickings you normally get at this time of year, as late November to mid December has proven to be a prudent entry point for equity investors year after year, cycle after cycle.
Here are some green energy stocks trading at low multiples of last year's earnings:
Company Price (18NOV) PE
Trina Solar Limited (ADR) (NYSE:TSL) $7.22 3.41
Yingli Green Energy (ADR) ( NYSE:YGE) $3.53 4.37
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) $5.41 4.52
LDK Solar (NYSE:LDK) 14.89 5.88
JA Solar Holdings (ADR) (NASDAQ:JASO) 2.48 6.09
Suzlon Energy (BOM:532667) 50.55 6.59

The Bog Mo'; 8 Green Energy Stocks show sparks of momentum
When we are further along in this rally, and particularly 6 to 9 months from now when the old 52 week highs will be falling daily, many companies will be on the new high list. Some pioneers will make it well before then, and will streak to new highs in the winter of 2009. One place to look for these is in stocks that have resisted downside volatility in recent days and begun to establish a nascent uptrend. It's far too early to come up with any comprehensive list or rankings, but here are some alternative energy stocks with momentum in early November 2008.
To me it seems there are people accumulating these shares, which is the reason they are able to avoid the fluctuations based on news and commodity prices; the company's "internal story" has come into view, and certain investors are taking notice.
Green Energy Shares with Price Momentum
Nov09/08
5.18cdn 235.69M
5N Plus is a major supplier of Cadmium telluride to First Solar (FSLR); the shares were as low as 3.50 but have recovered nicely.
Clipper is both a wind turbine manufacturer and wind farm developer and is the UK's biggest wind energy industry company. The stock has bounced sharply from a low of 149.75.
22.01 3.40B
19.78 2.11B
Produces and sells multicrystalline solar wafers to major customers including Q-Cells. Shares up over 50% from the bottom at unlucky 13.
Ormat Tech is the top geothermal energy company; the shares have rebounded from a low of 21.83.
6.97 472.8M
At the $7 level, the shares are up sharply from the low of 4.33. The firm is a play on the industry as the major customers for their solar wafers are JA Solar, Solarfun, Suntech Power. Will silicon be eclipsed by thin-film or will each find its niche in an ever-growing market? Even though this stock is up over 50% from its lows, the previous high was north of 29.
9.48 165.52M
Portable, Standby and Uninterruptible power systems for communications, defence and other industies. The stock has risen from panic days selling bottom of 5.07, and even now trades at a PE of only 9.29.
204.26
6.38cdn
Natural gas vehicle engine manufacturer posting great numbers. Stock bottomed at 4.08 but since then people are remembering why they own this thing.

6 Green Energy Funds positioned for longer term growth
Though clean energy shares have been dropping like they were heavy oil exploration companies during recent weeks, and major signs of capitulation were exhibited over the past few days, somebody with a longer-term perspective should at least consider a dollar cost averaging program. Anybody who set up one of these plans in recent weeks is considered brave, yet isn't she also more prudent than someone who would begin such a plan after the market had risen to multi-year highs? They'll both do alright eventually, but the lady who buys on the cheap gets more value and a quicker start on her retirement fund, on average.
Here are some green energy and environmental funds, with their recent close (24OCT08) if available.
Green Power Funds, Clean Energy ETFs, Environmental Mutual Funds
First Trust Global Wind Energy (FAN)
Closed at 10.90, down from 31.50; designed to track the performance of ISE Global Wind Energy Index.
Guinness Atkinson Alternative (GAAEX) Energy
Invests in alternative energy and clean power technology sectors. At 5.32, the shares off from a high around $17.
PowerShares Global Clean Energy (PBD) Portfolio
PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio is designed to track the performance of the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index. Focuses on greener and generally renewable sources of energy and clean energy technologies. At 11.14, down from 38.10.
PowerShares Global Wind Energy (PWND) Portfolio
Diversified Wind Power Fund down more than 67% from the year high, at 9.34 one would think most of the bad news is in or overstated.
Winslow Green Growth (WGGFX) Fund
At 8.67, the fund is way off its high and recently held big positions in FSLR, WFI plus a range of environmentally responsible companies like Green Mountain Coffee, SurModics and LSB Industries. A good USA small to mid cap growth fund opportunity.
Acuity Clean Environment Equity Fund
Recently held positions in 5N Plus, Canadian Hydro and other clean energy and environmentally responsible companies. Down by half to $10.04, invests in Canadian stocks wich fit the Fund's environmental concept of sustainable development.

Windpower stocks, green energy funds as longterm investments
Here are some major wind energy industry companies with publicly-traded stocks, suitable for consideration by higher-risk longterm investors. Medium risk longterm investors may want to consider accumulating positions in green energy stock funds and other diversified renewable power investments, such as ETFs that track clean energy company indices.
Wind Power Company Stocks
Suzlon Energy Limited (BOM:532667)
One of my favourite companies on the planet, Suzlon is a top tier wind power firm, and with the shares at 93.60 R (down from 321), the top wind energy company in Asia is available at just 12.2 times earnings.
VESTAS WIND SYSTEMS (VWS.CO)
The top wind power company in the world, VWS has over 30% market share and can charge a premium for its reliable products. With the shares at 325 DKK, down from 700, longterm investors may want to research this one. One of the greatest companies on earth, at 27.6x earnings; look for VWS to continue to be a global wind energy industry leader for years to come.
CLIPPER WIND REG S (CWP.L)
Top UK wind turbine manufacturer and windfarm developer, one would hope that Clipper will be a major force in the UK energy industry for decades to come. Battered by the global credit markets panic, the stock has nosedived from 753.80 p to today's (16oct08) close of 165 p. Though the company has posted rising losses, revenues are growing even faster, and Clipper will likely come to be seen as a solid turnaround candidate, a quality UK growth company, and a bargain green energy stock.
Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN)
KDN is a major supplier of bearings to the wind power industry, and sells its products to customers in a variety of robotics technology, medical instruments, materials handling, machine tools, aerospace, defense, alternative energy, security, electronic industries and for other industrial applications. Kaydon has been volatile in recent days, trading between 32 and 40 and closing today at 35.77, still far from the years high of 61.57. The shares yield 1.9% and trade at a PE of 14.89, and though not a pure renewable power play, represents attractive exposure to wind energy industry growth.
American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:AMSC)
The good news keeps coming for American Superconductor, who won another wind energy contract this week, with AMSC licensing its windpower technology to Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. At 14.96, the shares are way off frpom their high of 47.53.
Canadian Hydro Developers (TSE:KHD)
KDN is a major player in Canadian wind enegy and small-scale hydropower, and at 3.05, the stock is down from a high of 8.01. A growing renewable power company with earnings and rising revenues.

DOE report explains benefits to USA of increasing wind to 20% of electricity requirements
This May, 2008 DOE Report Analyzes U.S. Wind Energy Resources, Wind Power Technology Requirements, and Wind Turbine Manufacturing, Wind Farm Siting and Power Project Transmission Hurdles to Increasing the Use of Clean and Sustainable Wind Power
Department of Energy (DOE) report finds a 20% wind contribution to U.S. electricity supply would:
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by 25 percent in 2030.
Reduce CO2 in real terms by 7.6 gigatons through 2030 and 825 million metric tons each year after that
Reduce natural gas use by 11%;
Reduce water consumption associated with electricity generation by 4 trillion gallons by 2030;
Increase annual revenues to local communities to more than $1.5 billion by 2030; and
Support roughly 500,000 jobs in the U.S., with an average of more than 150,000 workers directly employed by the wind industry.
To achieve 20%, wind turbines would have to produce 300,000 megawatts of power, compared to today's generated 16,000 megawatts.
Full story on: EnergyandCapital.com article on the Coming Wind Energy Boom
The analysis concludes that reaching 20 percent wind energy will require enhanced transmission infrastructure, streamlined siting and permitting regimes, improved reliability and operability of wind systems, and increased U.S. wind manufacturing capacity.
Highlights of the report include:
Annual installations need to increase more than threefold. Achieving 20 percent wind will require the number of annual turbine installations to increase from approximately 2000 in 2006 to almost 7000 in 2017.
Costs of integrating intermittent wind power into the grid are modest. 20 percent wind can be reliably integrated into the grid for less than 0.5 cents per kWh.
No material constraints currently exist. Although demand for copper, fiberglass and other raw materials will increase, achieving 20 percent wind is not limited by the availability of raw materials.
Transmission challenges need to be addressed. Issues related to siting and cost allocation of new transmission lines to access the Nation’s best wind resources will need to be resolved in order to achieve 20 percent wind.
“The report correctly highlights that greater penetration of renewable sources of energy - such as wind - into our electric grid will have to be paired with not only advanced integration technologies but also new transmission,” DOE’s Assistant Secretary for Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Kevin Kolevar said. “In many cases, the most robust sources of renewable resources are located in remote areas, and if we want to be able to deliver these new clean and abundant sources of energy to population centers, we will need additional transmission.”
With the U.S. leading the world in new wind installations and having the potential to be the world leader in total wind capacity by 2010, DOE’s report comes at an important time in wind development.
Last year, U.S. cumulative wind energy capacity reached 16,818 megawatts (MW) – with more than 5,000 MW of wind installed in 2007. Wind contributed to more than 30 percent of the new U.S. generation capacity in 2007, making it the second largest source of new power generation in the nation --- surpassed only by natural gas. The U.S. wind energy industry invested approximately $9 billion in new generating capacity in 2007, and has experienced a 30 percent annual growth rate in the last 5 years.

Green Energy Mutual Funds, Renewable Power ETFs
Green Investment Funds for 2009 and beyond
For long term growth investors with cash on the side, or decent cash flow, dollar-cost-averaging into well managed, diversified high growth funds is something to seriously consider. An ecomic slowdown may mean that FSLR grows at 25% instead of 40%, but in most scenarios pure power producers and clean energy technology companies should be among the next bull market's leaders.
Though there is some risk in bottom fishing for mutual funds, it is dramatically minimzed relative to individual stock investing. A single firm's shares may be down because the company is in serious trouble and the stock is on its way to zero, but green energy mutual funds and clean power exchange traded funds (ETFs) are down because of market and sector comnditions, and over time will reflect the longer term potential of the sector and economy at large. With many clean power funds down 40% to 50% and more this is an opportune time for aggressive longterm investors to buy, and for medium risk longterm investors to start dollar-cost averaging into alternative energy and clean renewable power funds.
Here are some green power funds to consider:

Green Energy Stocks for a Year End Rally
As the ancient Chinese proverb says, "May you live in interesting times..."
Or my fave: A man may stand still in a flowing river, but not in a world of men
Here are some green energy stocks that may participate in a year end rally, and may be suitable investments for higher risk, lobg-term investors with a time horizon of ten years or more. Consult with your financial advisor, or if you must do things on your own, dollar-cost-average steadily into green energy mutual funds and green power exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Anyways, a few renewable power companies, and how fall their shares have fallen (as of 10OCT08):
Down from a high of > $27, at $6.43 you get a major Chinese solar power company with strong revenue growth. Also one of the top contenders internationally.
It's utterly shocking to see this quality global wind energy industry leader trading at 93.65, down 20 on the day and off from a year high of 317. For those who like to own the best companies, this is one you must research.
What Vestas is to wind power and First Solar is to photovoltaic energy, Ormat is to the emerging geothermal power industry. An American technology leader.
If you like to be ahead of the curve and want to own some of the stock market's top performers in 2009, research ORA and other geothermal energy companies such as Raser Tech, Western Geo, Nevada Geo, and US Geothermal. The shares were as high as 57.93 earlier this year but could be bought today for 24.09, with a PE of just over 21.

Seven Stocks to Watch now and in 2009; Obama Rally Investments
Here area some American companies to consider investing in to benefit from Barack Obama becoming the President of the United States; a group of high quality companies that should also fare well through all types of administrations, for many years to come.
Seven stocks to consider, in alphabetical order:
Apple Inc
At 97.07, the stock is down over 50% from its high above $202, and when you consider the enduring appeal of its products, long-term investors may want to look at this one, or at least mutual funds that hold high quality companies like these.
First Solar
Designer and manufacturer of solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology, based on a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material being used to convert sunlight into electricity. Significant price advantage has led to massive order book and first-mover status in thin-film solar industry. At 163.19 the stock is down almost half, but the PE is still 59. For the very brave, highest risk investors only.
GE
A blue chip among blue chips, has the advantage of being a major player in growing industries such as wind energy, solar power, water purification and many more. Friday's close (03OCT08) of 21.57 and a P/E of 10 offer an enticing entry point. The yield of 5.75% is one more reason to reach for this qualty, diversified investment in American economic renewal.
Google
As the world online more closely resembles its offline predecessor, Google gets an expanded client list and is the biggest boat to float on an expanding digital economic ocean. At 386.91, the stock is about half of its high.
Home Depot
I can't envision a revival in America without busy Home Depot stores, as a lot of housing stock gets renovated and retrofitted for the green era. The company sells building materials, home improvement, lawn and garden products, to do-it-yourself, do-it-for-me, and professional customers. At 23.81 the stock trades at 12.4 times earnings, s down from a high of 34,55 and yields 3.78%.
MicroSoft Corp
Develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a range of software products for computing devices. The Company's software products include operating systems for servers, personal computers and intelligent devices, plus Xbox 360 video game console and games.
