First Trust ISE Global Wind Energy (FAN)

Energy needs will continue to grow at ever increasing rates. Imagine a Chinese middle class consumer market that will grow bigger than the US in less than a decade. Now imagine that same scenario for India within that same decade. Demand is accelerating much faster than supply, and I see nothing that will change this ratio in the future, outside a world war. Even then, energy will be traded at a premium.

I did a screener for p/e under ten, 75=allstar outperforms, less than 5 all star under performs,200= overall outperforms, debt less than .3 , AND THEN RESEARCHED THE 19 COMPANIES FINACIALS ,AND ELIMINATED 12, THIS IS ONE THAT MADE THE CUT. if your curious to the other 7 see the picks entered around this one on my page

good for IRA wind index

Solar is on hold till oil goes back to 100$, and the Chinese are dumping solar panels faster than tires or steal. That leaves wind for now!

This one is in my Vegas portfolio. As in I can either take the money to Vegas and try to double it or I can buy this stock. One thing is for certain - the oil will eventually run out.

Alternative energy is a must for the future. Wind is one of the cleanest possible. Europe is already way ahead of the US in wind farms and tec. As soon as the Us decides to catch up wind will take off.

WIND, WIND, WIND !!!!!!

ETF for wind

ETFs are the new tackelin' fuel of the everyday investor, and wind energy is a solid play during this administration's reign.

Own this in my IRA.

It may be a sleeper for awhile, next year or so perform with the market. Towards the second half of Obama's 1st term it should pick up some serious momentum and carry through his 2nd term. The guy is an ego maniac and he wants his legacy to include energy reform. Socialism is strengthening in the US. The govt will have a heavy hand in controlling energy policy. I'm long oil for the next 2-3 years. After that, the enormous taxes that are inevitable for big oil will be spoon fed to the mouths of Wind and Solar. companies.

Wind Energy is a high growth sector and could outperform solar stocks in the near future. I think that Alternative Energy will only become more popular as Oil Peak and Global Warming affect our energy supply choices. ETFs are a good way to add diversity while minimizing fees. So I'm snapping up a few Wind focused ETFs with high outperform ratings while they are near their 52 week lows and I'll ride them into our, hopefully much greener future!

Diverse wind play

Diverse wind energy. Long term logical green play.

WIND ETF, Again with this administration this has potential in addition to diversifying my risk.

Wind is the world's fastest growing energy supply, and the US - world's largest market as of 2008 - has extended for several years [quite the change, really] the PTC incentive. There is talk of making tax credit incentives refundable - essentially a check instead of a tax credit - which will make financing these project much easier - mucho growth.

This ETF captures a global array (most major manufacturers are foreign) of wind companies without requiring access and/or tinkering in foreign exchanges.

The index is a modified market capitalization weighted index of publicly traded companies throughout the world that are active in the wind energy industry based on analysis of the products and services offered by those companies. Companies in the index universe that are identified as providing goods and services exclusively to the wind energy industry are given an aggregate weight of 66.67% of the index.
