Bet in the privatisation and in the beauty of the business: even EDP has a huge, huge debt that concerne me lot, i am betting for the long run in this company that operates in a very nice business with stable cash-flow. A part of that, the portuguese government which control more than 25% of the company will have to sell that participation until the end of the year. This operation should attract a lot of big players and push up the stock.

Although oil will still be king for the forseeable future clean tech is already making inroads and should grow almost exponentially. Be it wind, solar, bio fuels or what ever, as a group they are only a small part of 1 percent of the total energy complex and will take years to make a significant dent in oil. Long term buy!!!
