I’ve posted an updated and more in-depth look at clean energy and renewable energy mutual funds. Also of interest may be an article on how actively managed clean and renewable energy funds compare to the passively manged/index variety.

- Q3 Portfolio Updates October 5, 2009Both my Quick Clean energy Tracking Portfolio and my Ten Green Energy Picks for 2009 have shown strong out performance through Q3. For a while, I thought I was on to something with the tracking portfolio (like mutual fund managers were smart, or something), but it turned out that they just put higher risk stocks in [...]Tom
- Investing in Biomass September 27, 2009I’ve recently said that the best way to invest in both Advanced Biofuels and Cellulosic Ethanol, and Biochar (aka terra preta) is to invest in Biomass. Here is one way to go about it: buying Forestry ETFs or Stocks.Tom
- The Algonquin Power Income Fund September 25, 2009I 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.

Unfortunately, the one I thought was most likely of these, an application for a DOE grant gaurantee, was rejected last week, so I sold at a slight loss. I’ll be keeping [...]Tom
- Clean Energy Portfolio: Great Performance so Far & Ready for a Gamble July 26, 2009My Ten Clean Energy Picks for 2009 continue to blow the indexes away, although the ten gambles for 2009 have only kept pace. Part of the reason the gambles have not kept up is the big drop in the price of Raser Technologies (RZ). Raser has fallen so for I now think it’s a bargain, [...]Tom

- Green Jobs Demystified July 12, 2009I read a lot of Green Jobs reports over the last couple of months, and the research cumulated in three articles. One is for the next issue of Smart Energy Living, and will be published in the Fall ‘09 issue, but the other two are available now. In the first, I look at the differences [...]Tom
- Market Predictions July 1, 2009Predicting 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.
