CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is an ethanol producer in the United States based on production capacity, according to the Renewable Fuels Association. It focuses primarily on the production and sale of ethanol and its co-products.

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 players 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.

Ethanol use is expanding with higher blending requirements and now stocks are so cheap it's easier to buy existing companies for their plants than to build new plants and wait a few years for them to come online. Expanded roll out of E85 and flex fuel vehicles will help longer term too

Is there anything Ethanol Fuel can’t do? Oh yeah how about make a dollar. This company is sick. Ethanol is a dream and a dumb one at that. Watering down gas wont save the economy or planet.

Is there anything Ethanol Fuel can’t do? Oh yeah how about make a dollar. This company is sick. Ethanol is a dream and a dumb one at that. Watering down gas wont save the economy or planet. The amount of crop needed to make Ethanol renders it almost useless. Ethanol alone will not meet the demand for fuel in the United States. However it is possible that using wind, solar, and nuclear power along with ethanol could meet our demand. There is one other option as well, Air. That’s right there is a company in France (I think France) that has make a car that runs off air. Magnifique I say. http://www.theaircar.com/acf/ for more information on that. Also there is a history of Air cars already here is a link for that http://www.theaircar.com/acf/air-cars/compressed-air-history.... One last thing if anyone ever finds the ticker for this company please share.
