I recommended the Algonquin Power Income Fund as a renewable energy income investment back in January, and as part of my ten clean energy picks for 2009.
Since then, both the stock and the ten picks have been doing well in comparison to the market, but Algonquin has entered into a couple deals, while I look into in a recent update on the Algonquin Power Income Fund.

Predicting market moves is notoriouslly difficult, but I’m feeling pretty good about my recent efforts.
On October 11, 2008, I stoped being a permabear and said, “the market as a whole now seems to me to be fairly valued.” The S&P 500 closed the previous Friday just below 900; today it closed at 919.32. In the fear that abounded last October, it was a hard call to be even that bullish, bit it seems to have worked out.
On June 2, I said we were near a market peak/ The S&P 500 closed that day at 944.74, and is currently down 3% almost a month later, having only bearly exceeded that number by a fraction of a percent.
Since I’m currently short-term bearish, I’ve started a series of articles not to by now, but to buy when a market decline puts them back on sale. Here are may clean enrgy shopping list articles so far:
Transmission stocks
Energy Efficiency Stocks
Clean Transport Stocks
Why market timing makes sense
Two Landfill Gas and Three Geothermal Stocks
Five Solar Stocks

When the current crisis began with the fall of Lehman, I decided to get out of my most speculative and worst capitalized Renewable Energy companies, and I wrote a series of articles on each. Now, I’m looking exclusively at companies involved in energy efficiency technologies, and technologies which help customers shift their demand to when or where it is cheaper (smart grid and transmission.)
Here’s an index to the articles on the stocks I sold:
- Held: UQM Technologies (UQM)
- Sold: Carmanah Technologies (CMHXF)
- Sold: Pacific Ethanol (PEIX)
- Sold: Dynamotive Energy Systems (DYMTF)
- Sold: Nova Biosource Fuels (NBF)
- Sold: VRB Power (VRBPF)
- Sold: Electro Energy, Inc. (EEEI)

I asked my readers at Alternative Energy Stocks what companies they wanted to know more about, and the two most requested were a transmission and wind company (CPTC.OB), and a company looking to make oil for biodiesel from algae (PSUD.PK).

I Just completed a series on Ten Renewable and Energy
Efficiency companies to buy when the market hits bottom. These are solid
companies, and a market downturn is a great time to aquire any and all of them.
I also mentioned a few more which almost made it into the
list in the introduction and also here.
Note: I and/or my clients have positions in all the stocks mentioned.

I did two top Ten lists to bring in the New Year. First, I picked ten speculative plays in renewable energy and energy efficiency that I think will do well. This was a 3 part series:
Part I: LED Stocks and Ultracapacitor stocks
Part II: Batteries, Distributed Generation, combined Heat and Power, and Electricity Transmission
Part III: Geothermal, Wind and Wave Power stocks, and a Solar Short
My second Top 10 list is plain fun… we used an algorithm to see what stories cleantech bloggers were linking to in 2007, and I did a short summary of each. Here is my Ten Most Blogged Cleantech Stories of 2007
Enjoy!
