Alternative energy stock portfolios are a great part
of a modern investor's financial plan, due to the fact that there is so
much upward potential. These make excellent long term growth investment
vehicles, and the money put into them by you, the investor, serves to
further the cause of implementing the alternative energy power sources
that we need as we sail into the 21st century and beyond.
Analysts predict that by 2013, the alternative energy industry will be a
$13 billion dollar industry in today's dollars. This figure bespeaks an
enormous return on investment. Indeed, if you were to invest in a
start-up alternative energy company, you might find yourself having
invested in the next Microsoft in terms of return on investment. People
are fed up with the rising costs of gasoline—while this alone is not
sufficient understanding of the need for developing alternative energy
sources, it is a factor which can act as a market maker—meaning for you
that investments in alternative energy companies makes a lot of
financial sense.
However, this does not mean that you don't first want to do some careful
research into alternative energy stocks, perhaps with the help of a
financial planner. “A few alternative-energy companies are going after
the right markets but that doesn't mean you should go buy every name in
the sector. Investors need to be cautious about chasing the stocks,”
says Sanjay Shrestha, who is an analyst at First Albany Capital. And if
you are an investor, then you know that the problem in this sector is
that nearly every single one of the major players in the alternative
energy for profit game are start-ups or in the very early stages of
growth. This means for you that they have relatively minuscule (even if
rapidly growing) sales, and no expected profitability in the near term
or history of earnings for you to be able to research. This can lead to
some bubbling, as with what happened to the dot-com industry at the turn
of the 21st century. Bubbling in the stock market is not a good thing
for investors.
Analysts and financial planners can play a crucial role in helping you
get it right with alternative energy investing. “We don't play around in
the tiny cap stocks that have technology and not much revenue—the 'hope'
stocks. We invest in companies with clear cash-generation plans in
place,” are the words of Ben walker, who is a senior portfolio manager
at the Gartmore Global Utilities fund out of London.
Still, the outlook is very positive overall—and healthy. “It is good to
see that the number of renewable energy funds and the amount of money
flowing into these funds is increasing,” according to chief executive of
UK alternative electricity supplier Good Energy Juliet Davenport. “The
renewable generation market is at an important stage in its development;
it needs the continued support of the consumer, investor and government
to ensure that it reaches its potential and really starts to make a
difference to climate change.”
