CAPS Rating:
****

A global ethanol and sugar company with operations in Brazil.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

CZZ will most likely climb crumbly over 2008. As sugar cane needs rise as we balance the nations energy resource platter . . .

The way I see it, this is about 25% undervalued.





This is an ag AND an energy play... probably the two hottest markets in the coming decades. I think this will go up significantly in the next year or two, then level off and be a solid, predictable stock in the decade thereafter.

Brazilian ethanol to be pumped in Sweden starting in August 2008.

Verified Sustainable Ethanol Initiative
http://www.sustainableethanolinitiative.com/default.asp?id=1...

Together with Brazilian ethanol producers, the Swedish company SEKAB has developed the Verified Sustainable Ethanol Initiative over the past year. The verified and traceable ethanol will be coming to Swedish pumps in August 2008. An independent international company will be performing on-site checks to make sure the producers are meeting the system's requirements.

"We think it is entirely justifiable that consumers and decision-makers are demanding guarantees that the ethanol we supply is environmentally, climatically, socially and ethically quality-assured and that it generates lower fossil carbon-dioxide emissions than those of petrol and diesel," says Anders Fredriksson, Deputy CEO of SEKAB BioFuels & Chemicals.

Sweden is far ahead of most EU countries on use of biofuel. As use of ethanol increases there is an increasing demand for sustainability declarations and certification. As the ongoing EU process seems to be dragging on, the trade associations BioAlcohol Fuel Foundation (BAFF), which represents the ethanol market in Sweden, and UNICA, which represents the sugar-cane industry in Brazil, have agreed to jointly drive a process with the aim of shifting the entire Brazilian ethanol industry towards more sustainable production.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
