...this is it! A perfect set-up with the oppertunity to get in on the ground floor; and most of these plays, your in the unfinished basement!)
Presidents can be associated with economic booms. Clinton's presidency rode the information superhighway during the tech boom of the 1990s. The most recent Bush presidency, which began in 2000, coincided with a run up in real estate values along with record high profits for energy producers like ExxonMobil . If Obama's economic boom lies within a green revolution, and he sticks by his "very do-able" plan to pump $150 billion into his "legacy" in reference to what was hot in the market during his Presidency, then we must turn our attention to the recently battered alternative energy including my favorite, solar! (cough, cough- JASO)
Here are the future "All*Stars" of that sector:
Solar Power
- (JASO) ~ closed @4.57
- +QJPAB Jan '09 10 Call; bid price closed @ .20
- +QJPCV Mar '09 12.50 Call; bid closed @.20
- (SRWRF).pk ~ closed @ 24.25; it'll be hard to even find available shares in this OTC stock
Young Solar Focused ETFs: (the following two ETFs below are less then a year old; if you are only opening a position in one, go with (TAN) - if you are going to spread your funds out, buy 75% of your ETF holdings in (TAN) and 25% in (KWT) which is a smaller, more risky play as far as ETFs go)
- (TAN) ~ closed @ 10.70
- +TANDC Apr '09 15 Call; bid closed @ 1.00
- (KWT) ~ closed @ 16.50; the smaller fund of the two
Wind Power
- (FAN) ~ closed @ 13.00; a renewable energy fund that was launched only 4 months ago. I was never a "FAN" of wind energy stocks but looking at the current circumstances and if Obama sticks to one of his top priorities, wind and solar stocks will heat up the markets and blow away other sectors! (I know, keep my day job)
- (VWDRY).pk ~ closed Fri @ 14.05; OTC wind play
- (HSNTF).pk ~ closed @ 1.70; OTC wind play
