Time to accumulate Wind Energy Stocks? 4 potential bargains for the long haul

Here are some excellent companies caught in the turbulence of the dying days of the Bush administration. I'm not saying it's time to buy, as it can be dangerous to reach for a falling knife ...

Still, it is definitely time to initiate dollar cost averaging programs to accumulate clean energy mutual funds and other alternative energy and environmental investment funds. Wall Street will have to package something over the next 5 years or so, and many a green tiger will be painted with lipstick, big ears and a long swinging trunk to make them appear to be elephants, but at the top of the next cycle the men will be viciously separated from the boys and the pretenders. In the meantime, there is money to be made on both hype and substance, with the latter taking an increasing predominance, indicating the green bull market of North America is getting ready to roar.

It may be nicknamed The Obama Rally, but it will transform the world with pure decentralized energy, empowering and transforming the lives of billions.

Here are some windpower companies to consider dollar-cost averaging into, or alternatively, begin research on and accumulation of clean energy mutual funds that have significant wind power company holdings like these.

Vestas, World's #1 Wind Energy Company

At 611DKK (the stock was up 9.1% today September 19th 2008) it is still somewhat off (12.7% lower) its 52-week high of 700. At more than double the previous year low of 280, there is risk to be had, but greatness comes with a price, and can provide many happy long-term returns.


Suzlon Wind Energy

Off 33.6% from its, high, this is one of my favourite companies on the entire planet. India's wind energy powerhouse, Suzlon Wind Energy is also one of the major players on the international wind power stage, often competing with Vestas and GE for top contracts. At 213.15, down from 321, a lot of air has been taken out of this leading global wind turbine manufacturer. For those looking for blue chips in the green world, Vestas, Suzlon and Ormat (leading geothermal energy company) are 3 that come to mind.


Clipper Windpower

Off hugely from its high of 753.80, the stock closed today at 445, off 42.1% from earlier lofty levels and just above the recent low of 436.25. It's far, far riskier to buy a stock near a low than it is a mutual fund, but for those looking for a quality long term growth stock, you could do worse than UK wind industry leader Clipper Windpower.



Xinjiang Goldwind Sci & Tech Co Ltd

Another step up in risk takes us to Xinjiang Goldwind Sci & Tech Co, a wind turbine manufacturer in China. From a high of 88.47, the stock closed today at 20.24, a spectacular drop of 77.1%!!! It may not be time to buy it just yet, but it should certainly command research. Those who seek, find ...



If you cannot afford to diversify away the individual company risks of direct stock investing, take a long look at the dozens of clean energy mutual funds and alternative energy index funds now offered on the market. Capital gains seekers can begin accumulating positions, while risk-averse investors should begin automatic deduction investments that always, with mathematical certainty, force you to buy more shares when the prices are lower, as the same dollar amount provides a bigger share purchase when markets are down like now, and potentially in coming months.

Even wiser would be to own 4 or 5 different clean energy funds, droping a poor performer every year or two to add one with positive cash flow and price momentum.

Tread carefully; Peace 2 All,
