Hold on to Green Energy!

Oil is dropping..is this GOOD or not? I say it can be a great thing. Here is why.

Cheap oil will put a short term hamper in alternative energy investment. Of course it does not eliminate the incredible potential of this space but i believe it may lead to consolidation. the market needs stronger players and a focused approach. Consolidation will mean the sharing of new technology.

More powerful market players and shared technology is the best thing that could happen to the industry.

Additionally the government will include energy investment in any stimulus package so hold on to your hats until January February and we should take off again.

Is there such a thing as a godo investment right now?

Where do we go from here? Positive thinking LOL!

Oil is returning to natural levels.

In today's market i believe staples are the only way to go, preferably those with dividends!
With low oil prices i would say shipping firms like UPS and Fed Ex would be good plays perhaps airlines.
Also any other industry that rely heavily on shipping costs. (walmart has taken a hit but i believe that is a market trend not an earnings trend)

700 Billion Stimulus?

700 Billion dollars 777 piont drops! Wow

Quick question.

How much infrastructure, light rail/public transportation, environmental improvement/research, energy investment and job creation can we do with 700 billion?

Would these not create jobs, stimulate the economy going forward and spring board the economy rather than providing a band-aid for bad investors? I guess helping fat cats is better than the environment and energy independence and investing in human capital.

How about spending the money to encourage natural gas pumps at service stations across the country?

my 2 cents.

banks are dropping like fly's

Banks are dropping.

Call your congressman and have them increase the FDIC insurance; and until then put your cash in renewable commodities. Food etc.

Bailouts?

Ok

Sow e can get a 700 billion dollar bailout passed in minutes for a bunch of idiots who could not see that having a balance sheet that is leveraged 30 to 1 was a bad idea; but we can't get a minor tax break for new energy investment?

What happened to creating jobs and expanding the tax break. That would be a terrible idea.

Debt, Inflation, Oil and Green Investing

So as congress and the financial world nit pick about a bailout for failed fat cats and spoiled paper printers let's take a look at the energy and green markets.

The overall market is of course lacking sufficient liquidity and security to warrant any significant new risky investments in unproven green technology or emerging green markets.

Unfortunately for us that most likely means is investors will run for secure investments such as gold and most likely black gold. Some traders have predicted now that we should expect 135 dollar a barrell oil by the end of the year. (roughly 40% increase since monday)

That means 2 things. The election will again turn to drill baby drill as inflation concerns rise and people are staring at record heating oil prices to keep their homes and businesses warm this winter.


So politically and economically the best route will be to suppoort Pickens existing technology plan and refrain on new tech investing until the energy markets re-stabilize.

Investing in wind and natural gas seem ike the best bets to me.

Oil Run-Up

The OIL run-up and dollar drop was obvious and you should know that the Green Financial Resource team was on top of it.

We need to get to the point where the run-up is on natural gas, clean coal, and wind stocks. Only when we have local energy will a commodity run up actually HELP our DOLLAR.

ARRRGH. Too little too late. Let's rebuild this economy right!!

The Rescue Plan

Well they announced it finally. The day we all hoped would not come. A new deal style bailout of the national economy.

This is what happens when you base an economic flow of capital to one major pillar of the economy with little or no understanding of how it works.

We need renewable, reusable and stable sources to rescue our economy.

While the government gets its hands into our business the private sector needs to focus on renewable energy resources. This means unlimited income and opportunity. New technology that can be exported instead of Wall Street's dirty financial instruments as our main export!

Let's rebuild this sucker into a renewable energy/ commodity driven marketplace! (energy and etc..)

A enw economy will leaveye plenty of room for financial professsionals ane legitimate financial investment and instruments to creats a more stable flow of economic investment and development.

Crashing Economy

Down Goes the market? What is next?

This is our chance to rebuild a stable and sustainable green economy.

Let's get together and discuss how we can rebuild or financial markets in a GREEN manner!

Down Goes LEHMAN

Who's Next!

Like any economy a Phoenix will rise from the ashes of the dying fat pigs who refused to turn with the times. As the investment wholesale bankers lose their capital and the CEO's shrink away with their 50 million dollar golden parachutes there will be an opportunity to create wealth in a more solid, commodity driven economy. Much like real estate and the second dot com wave after the dot com burst a new economy will emerge stronger and more efficient. Thus is the nature of a successful capitalist economy. (fingers crossed)

The question is...what will this new economy be?

New energy!! Wind turbines int he path of hurricanes? Battery power technology? (my vote)

Local manufacturing?

The GOOD news for us is emerging competing markets such as china and India do not have the market maturity as of yet to handle these turbulent times. With our sophistication, credit and will power we can lead the way.

Lehmam Brothers/ Failed Banks

Another day and another bank is failing.

Those of us in the mortgage banking industry saw this coming from a mile away. Lehman invested in some of the riskiest subprime, and non-prime mortgages in the business.

Far worse than countrywide.

Wamu is next. They are into about the same exposure, although not as deep in non-prime as lehman. They are far better capitalized but they are on the run.

The winners here will be B of A; assuming they weather the Countrywide storm, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank and Chase Manhatten Bank. They do not have NEAR the exposure of these other lenders and i predict they will emerge stronger and with more market share and investor confidence. I would get into those at the bargain pricing that they are in right now.

From a green perspective Countrywide B of A and Wells ALL offer Green Mortgages.

And as we all know green stocks have outperformed the S and P over the last 10 years.

Any thoughts?
