Green Energy Portfolio

By Rick Walter

Don't let profit opportunities in the Alternative Energy or Green Energy Sector pass you by. You can make money here. I am posting today, an alternative energy portfolio with a surprise positive total return for the year. I constructed this portfolio earlier this year as the industry began to heat up and its performing extremely well. This portfolio contains 5 top performing funds that invest in core alternative energy companies that produce energy from solar, wind, and bio-fuels. The portfolio is well diversified and has been optimized for an expected annual return of 8%; I believe that this portfolio will out-perform it's individual peers for the remainder of the year and next. It follows a moderate to moderate-aggressive asset allocation model, meaning it's slightly risky. However, I have balanced out the portfolio with a long-term treasury position and some metals to give this portfolio some stability.

Whose lending?

Troubled times ahead for everyone it seems. Credit markets still seems to be troubled. The Federal Reserve stands willing to provide liquidity to the markets although modestly. If I was running a pretty profitable business and I needed capital now, could I rely on my existing banking relationship to provide me the capital now? Here is an article in the WSJ on "Prior Loans, Future Pain?" Link . This article is free, no subscription needed . I guess the answer might be how much you need and the terms, but wouldn't you feel slighted if you had a banking relationship with your banker for lets say 10 years and you asked your banker to increase your credit line by about an additional 40% and they said no. In this scenario, with all things being equal, of good personal credit and business scores, pretty robust industry growth projections, and business debt to credit ratio of 1.20 or better. What would be the reason(s) for a bank decline? I called and left a message to a banker...
