Investing the Green Way

So you’re green?  You live in one of those houses that is dug out of the side of a hill with solar panels everywhere.  You ride a bike in the summer and drive an electric car in the winter.  You grow your own food, pump your own water, and not one drop of oil will ever be in your home.

While you may not be that green, maybe you believe strongly in reducing your carbon footprint or think that green is going to make you some major green.  How do you invest in green?  What is out there for your money?

There aren’t any green bank accounts but there are green mutual funds and stocks*.  First, let’s look at mutual funds:

1.)    Winslow Green Growth Fund (WGGFX)-  All green.  Companies like Chipotle, Green Mountain Coffee Rosters, and First Solar.  (First Solar is one of the most successful solar companys out there right now.)  Although the management fees are high, this mutual fund has a great track record of success.

2.)    New Alternatives Fund (NALFX)- Almost all green.  This fund also has a very good track record and great management.  Companies like Whole Foods and Owens Corning are in this fund.  This is not a “pure play” fund but still quite green.  (A “pure play” would be any company who has no involvement in anything that isn’t green.)

How about if you are a stock person?  Keep in mind that to find pure plays that are green, you have to go mostly small cap.  (A small company)  Right now, small cap stocks are extremely risky so only invest a small amount of your money (around 10%) in these small cap stocks.

1.)    General Electric (GE)- Not very green.  GE is involved in a lot of industries but they are also one of the largest manufacturers in the Wind Turbine industry.  In fact, Boone Pickens has placed an order for 667 wind turbines for his “Pickens Plan”  Not very green but a good company to anchor your portfolio for the long term.

2.)    Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE)-  Almost all green.  This company builds natural gas fueling stations and provides natural gas to cities and individuals on the west coast.  Although depressed in value right now, this will be a leader if natural gas vehicles become more commonplace.  That’s the bet, though and why stocks like this are so risky.

3.)    Quanta Services (PWR)-  About 50% green.  So, you are Boone Pickens and you have 667 wind turbines in the middle of the United States and you are making bookoo amounts of power.  How are you going to get all of your power to the homes and city power grids?  You call Quanta Services.

4.)    First Trust Global Wind Energy (FAN)- Mostly green.  This is not a stock.  It is traded as a stock and the value changes like a stock but it’s actually a collection of stocks all put together called an ETF.  The fund invests in wind energy companies all over the world.  This is a very risky investment but if you’re in it for the long term, you will make some money.

These are only a couple of the many green companies and funds out there.  Beware! Alternative energy is not currently not popular because the price of oil is so low.  Most of these companies are very low in value.  That may be a buying opportunity but they may have lower yet to go.  Be careful.

So your green and need to invest now?  My suggestion is to look in to a mutual fund or two.  Stocks may be too risky right now but President Obama has been public in his support for alternative energy so many investors are beginning to give green another look.  So get to work, start researching and if you aren’t sure, leave a comment.  We’ll help you!

Marley Coffee 8-oz. Jamaica Blue Mountain Ground Coffee $24.95 100 Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee is considered by many connoisseurs to be the world’s finest. It is admired for its delicate balance of floral aroma, acidity and full body. However, it is the sweet, mellow, lingering finish that elevates this special coffee from all others. Simply the quintessential cup! This rare bean is grown in the majestic hills of the Blue Mountains that rise up to elevations of 7,500 feet. In this hilly, rugged terrain the climate is cool with lots of rain and the soil is rich. This is considered perfect for growing coffee. Talkin’ Blues comes from the region within the Southern slope of the Blue Mountains, which is the oldest coffee growing area. This Typica variety coffee is produced under banana, Inga, mango and many other shade trees. This protects the soil and river basins from erosion. The coffee cherries are hand picked for quality control, graded by size, density and color. The green beans are then inspected by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica (CIB) the regulatory body established to protect the quality of Jamaican coffee. Talkin’ Blues has been recognized by the CIB and carries the official Certification/Trademark of Jamaica Blue Mountain.

A Busy Time In Mexico $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Then he cooled down, and gave me the history of the El Naranjo people. It appeared that their ranch was high up in the mountains and exactly on the Guatemalan frontier line; that they were smugglers of contraband, robbers, and stock thieves—in fact, they were outlaws. But owing to their being related to the local authorities they had always gone unpunished for their crimes. They had killed cheerfully, and being of pure Indian blood were sure of local support. Hemken implored me not to go, and said exactly what he thought concerning my manager. I felt rather thoughtful, and appreciated the manager’s kindness in sending me on the trip. His thoughtfulness in sparing my feelings by not warning me of the character of the trip touched me deeply—so deeply, in fact, that I cursed him heartily, and changed my shot-gun for a repeating carbine, and left for the job feeling slightly less cheerful than I had been. I had a good deal to think over, and I summed it up on the trail. For me to travel round with so much money on me would be clearly inadvisable. On the other hand, the owner of the money would be safe, and therefore he must bring it in person to the town. But I did not see my way to giving receipts, etc. No; only the boss could do that. The mountain trail was delightful. Tapachula lies practically at sea-level, and a two hours’ ride brought me into the foot-hills of the Sierras. Up to now the vegetation was purely tropical, but at about 1,000 feet above sea-level the palms and purelytropical plants gave place to the big forest trees; all round one were coffee plantations, or green clearings of cacao-trees. Far away underneath, the strip of coast country stretches from the foot-hills to meet the Pacific, breaking up into lagoon country, which is a deep emerald
