Is the Place to be Energy? Or energy Service Companies?

Fracking

One of my favorite magazines is Forbes, and one of my favorite columnists is Ken Fisher. In the July 19, 2010 issue, Ken makes some comments about the changing nature of gas and oil exploration. To summarize his comments (forgive me if I misquote), the world of energy exploration and production is changing radically by something called ‘fracking’. This involves relatively newer techniques using an older technology whereby fluid at very high pressure is injected into a well, usually a natural gas well, thereby dramatically increasing output.

Ken’s thought is that this advancement of technology will keep natural gas prices cheap for a very long time. He thinks per thousand cubic feet is a logical result which is about 40% of today’s price.

According to Bloomberg, $8.85 trillion is waiting to be invested in green energy. So what are some useful tips for investing in renewable energy stocks?

First is to decide on a specific type of green business. One can decide to focus on purely renewable energy companies or one can also opt to focus on low-carbon building materials, or on electric efficiency.

Next step is to prepare for investing money that may not give back big returns. One should always remember that green businesses that have greater return on investment mean riskier investments. Therefore, only invest in an amount you are ready to lose.

I mean the role of the banking system and the capital market is supposed to funnel capital sectors that are good investment. The recent banking crisis can be attributed to the failure of this system to allocate money to where is needed, but rather over allocated to an excess sector like housing. Bailout will violate the principle of free market but saving a system that made serious mistake. Why not the government take control with direct investment in education, health care, alternative energy to create jobs and economic activities instead of saving a failed banking system? Many countries after the WWII such as Japan has government controlled strategic investment and produce good economic results. Is bailout of the banks really a solution that make sense or just because the politics? can someone explain to me?

During this economy and with what is promised in the future, What stocks would you think are the best to invest in now?

I was thinking alternative fuels, renewable energy, and possibly something technology based just starting out to get in on the ground level.
