Buying Alternative energy IPO Pros and Cons

Article by Betz Bringham

We offer scalable wind mill systems for commercial, industrial, and government buildings to securely and effectively harness rooftop wind resources.

Energy is generated with each rotation, a mechanism much like windmills in the old days, though windmills were mostly utilized to pump water and grind grains, not produce electricity. As wind passes over the turbine, it forces the prongs to rotate, creating kinetic energy by having an internal generator. This kinetic energy is stored and transformed into electricity by connecting the wind generator system with a communications system and power collection system.

Millions of people dream about owning their own business. Having the independence that being your own boss brings, the security that no one can fire you, enjoying a good income – and for the most successful – the accumulation of wealth and prosperity. Unfortunately, the cards are stacked against a new small business making it big – or making it at all. An endless stream of problems makes competition from large, sophisticated chains too intense. Many new start-ups end as failures.

Buying a franchise represents a different approach to starting a business.  For an upfront franchise fee plus ongoing royalty payments, the parent company teaches its business model and methods to the franchised-operator who shoulders all operating and financial responsibilities of the outlet. Some statistics are impressive: it is said over 40% of all U.S. retail sales are through franchised establishments. While franchise giants like McDonalds, KFC, H&R Block and Radio Shack are familiar, household names, franchises are available in a wide range of industries. The list of 3,000-plus companies selling franchises span over 100 different industry categories.

I’ve been buying USO in the low-mid $20′s. For better or worse, here’s why… 1. contango flattening www.nymex.com 2. Seasonals – buy Jan/Feb sell in summer? spectrumcommodities.com 3. Potential oil hoarding – cheap under $50? 4. Transfer of (unwanted) dollar reserves into ‘hard assets’? 5. Economies cannot return to growth without also dragging up oil. 6. Alternative energy investment reduced. www.reuters.com 6. currency – potential weakness in paper currencies = inflation? www.cnbc.com 7. gold/oil ratio – overshot down to 6, now stretched at around 30. www.incrediblecharts.com 8. short squeeze potential on USO. www.nasdaq.com Gold stocks also mentioned in the video…… AUY = Yamana gold KGC = Kinross Gold SLW = Silver Wheaton No recommendation or advice intended. As they say……. “For entertainment purposes only”.

I’m a college student, and I have some built up savings that I’m thinking about investing. My parents are taking care of my tuition and board, so my job here at school covers my cost of living.

From what I hear, there is always a dramatic upturn in the market after it bottoms out. That, coupled with a probable Obama presidency (I think) makes alternative energy companies a good bet.

I’m avoiding mutual funds for now, I already have a substantial stake there, and I’ve taken a bath the last year.

Buy stocks/mutual funds when the market is in the red

When the market is in the Green add the money to your Emergency Fund and Pay off Credit Card.

Every month add to your Roth Ira for Dollar Cost averaging.

Thoughts?

I think Obama is going to make this market profitable.

since global warming and the need for more greener energy like wind power increases, is it really possible you can make lots of money by buying these companies now that are worth virtually nothing, and wait until the world gets the need of renewable energy? (buying shares of stocks). Thanks

buying mutual funds?

I’m new to investing but about to invest on some mutual funds portfolios but i don’t really understand reading the performance.
There are a few things I notice, “YTD”, “1 YR” “2 YR” etc.
Currently most of the YTD are negative/red but 1 YR are positive/green.
Which one is the most important indicator among these before we buy funds?
I believe everyone objective is gain profits with less risks.

Thanks in advance!!!
Are you saying since this year most of funds are red will be a good time to buy? or wait until even higher red before buying?
Also, is that mean if one funds (let say AAAA already at the peak for the last 3 years, we wont get more?
