Vestas Wind Systems (NASDAQOTH:VWSYF.PK)

How is a man gonna power his mac
When all of the oil's been burned?
The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Vestas is aggressively creating markets in the United States. The Danes are ten years ahead of us in wind power production and Vestas is the big dog.

Wow, I can double down on Vestas here. VWDRY and VWSYF - fantastic

They just opened up their North American Headquarters here in Portland Oregon, the best city for that I think. Until biotech revolutionizes the fuel business, dinosaur energy will keep getting more expensive relative to wind generators: the low hanging fruit has already been picked, beep water drilling will become a "not near my yard" issue, and electric cars are finally viable. There could be short-term glitches like rare-earth imports drying up, but this kind of progress will march along, subsidies or no. I like thin film solar more, but Nano-Solar is private, and the electrical system is more complicated for me; this is simple.

Playing the 20% dip today. Green investments are always a plus for me.

Not sure how Vestas makes their money I'm just too lazy... I mean busy right now to do any research, can't even find the time to read anyone elses comments, so I don't expect anyone to read mine.
I do know I am out in west Texas this week just like last week running some compliance tests on a pipeline out here. In 100+ degree heat. As I look around at the pastures full of cows and rattlesnakes and horse flies, I notice something. Windmills... lots and lots of windmills. They are hundreds of feet tall and they make ranchers out here lots of money for "wind leases". I have heard stories about wind leases in the Millions, and thats per year.
Hey mister can I put up these big fan lookin things on your pasture land, they only take up about 100 sq ft a piece and we will give you 10K for every one you let us put up.... O did I mention thats PER YEAR!!!?
I think any industry that is able to lease land for Millions of dollars would be something nice to have a piece of.
O and don't forget its all about Green energy. Any when I say Green you know what I mean.
Cha-Ching.
gw

With my luck Vestas Wind Systems does not have anything to do with wind energy... sigh.

Denmark - leading wind turbine co. Wind as industry down right now, expect to rebound

Vestas Wind Systems is a Denmark-based wind power company. They are an absolute steal right now at only 12.5x trailing earnings and .4x tangible book, with almost no debt.

historical low

I added Vestas to my CAPS to watch it and hopefully get in personally at a better valuation. Now that the stock has fallen nicely I think it's a great time to buy. Vestas is the only real pure play in wind. Wind as an energy source is growing rapidly in not only the US but Europe as well. With the development of offshore wind farms there is a new market available.

I like the long term prospects for the industry. A P/E (according to FT.com) is a great valuation for this company.

wind seems good

Largest wind turbine producer, solid technology, US presence, great company.

Obama want is investing our money, the house passed a measure and once the senate does so and Obama sign, the investment in this sector will continue. This is one of the strongest companies in wind industry, if not the strongest and they are about to open up shop in my backyard (Portland).

wind again son.

Vestas is the biggest, most experienced, most cost-effective player in the wind industry, which is arguably at the forefront of the renewable energy sector being pushed so blatantly (and with good reason) by many world powers. Their margins are good, balance sheet strong, low debt, smart management. At a P/E of about 19 the stock is getting closer to what I would expect it to level out at for the near future, but ROE is 30% and gross margins are 20% for 2008 - there is a lot of upside potential in coming months/ years.

Market leader in tomorrow's energy source. In 2020 this will be nearing $300.

Wind Power is set to grow rapidly worldwide in the next few years, so I'm snapping up stocks that are still close to their 52 week lows before the market realizes the long term value in this sector. I've already picked a few discount Wind ETFs, now it's time to add a few worthy specific stocks in this market for long term growth. The high outperform ratio is also a plus. It would have been better to pick this last month, but it should still perform well over the next 3-5 years.

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!!!
