Green Stocks

By Ahmad Hassam

Are you aware of the fact that the peak of the global oil production (all liquids, including unconventional oil) will peak in the next few years. Do you know China is the largest producer of coal? Coal production n China would peak somewhere around 2010-2020.

You must be thinking what to do every available source of energy seems to be peaking in the near future? The global peak of uranium production lies somewhere around2025-2050. The global peak of natural gas production lies somewhere around 2025!

But there are many safe and environmentally friendly methods to generate the energy required. Uptill now these methods had been ignored maybe because they were a bit expensive. They were expensive in the sense that these methods factor in the external costs that were previously being ignored. Do you know this fact that the US Department of Energy has estimated that there is enough available offshore wind energy of the coasts of US that can nearly cover the current US electricity capacity? So what will fill this void in energy production in the coming decades?

If all the care in US were hybrids by 2025 that would roughly reduce 80% of the US oil import. IF every bulb in the US was replaced with an energy efficient fluorescent lamp, enough energy could be saved to shut down around 100 power plants.

Enough power could be generated for the entire US by covering only 9% of Nevada desert with parabolic trough systems. This is something like a plot of land 100 by 100 miles. So the solution is already there and as the end of fossil fuel nears which is only a decade away, more and more alternative energy solutions will be used to generate cheap energy.

You might have seen only a glimpse of that last year in 2008 when crude oil prices jumped to around $150 per barrel. This is something that is bound to happen. The supplies of fossil fuel are finite and will be exhausted in the near future. When the oil price reached above $100, plans got rolling for massive investment in the alternative energy sector. With the oil price coming down, these plans have been shelved but will be rerolled again when the oil price again starts to sky rocket.

Oil deposits are being depleted at a fast pace and these resources once finished cannot be replenished. This prediction is based on our insatiable energy consumption and the lack of conventional supplies to meet the growing energy demand. This is most probably the safest long term bet that you can make in the long term. There is little doubt that companies operating in the green energy sector will ultimately become the major players in the overall energy generation and transportation mix of tomorrow.

Exactly one hundred years back, the oil century started. It was with the advent of the modern automobile that oil became a global necessity. Imagine Henry Ford in'09 asking you to invest in his Ford Motor Company that is about to mass produce a horseless carriage. Keeping in view the above facts, investing in green energy stocks in the best long term investment that you can make!

Right now the world is standing at another threshold. But many folks in that year of'09 were skeptical about Model T success. This is now 2009, exactly a century has passed. Do you think investing in green energy stocks is a bad idea? He tells you that this invention could change the entire landscape of the country. Knowing everything that you know right now with the power of hind sight with you, you will definitely say yes. Green Energy stocks may turn out to be your best investment decision of your life. A massive investment frenzy is about to take place in the green energy technologies. - 23210

Set Course for Forex

By James Pynn

Of all the financial markets at work in the world today, none of them can compare to the size and liquidity of the foreign exchange market. That's right, the forex market now accounts for more than over $4 trillion a day in profits. You read that right: $4 trillion a day.

The epicenter of this market is the grand city of London. In fact, London accounts for about 35% of all the forex trading in the world, every day. Now, this doesn't mean you have to move to jolly old England to get a piece of the proverbial pie. No, all you need a little know-how and access to the markets.

The know-how is the easy part. It's not hard to enroll in a reputable forex course that can show all the ins and outs of the process. But, please, not matter who you sign up with -- sign up with somebody. The last thing you want to do is jump into the water and not know how to swim.

Don't be intimidated. Trading foreign currencies is not too dissimilar from other kinds of trading. If you have successfully day traded in the past you won't have a hard time catching one. With the right training, you can plunge headlong into this most liquid of the liquid markets. The key, is staying above water.

The future for the dollar looks dismal. Though the current economic climate is far from nurturing, the forex markets aren't expected to plummet. Indeed, as long as there are world currencies, there will be a future for forex trading. So, even though the death of dollar has been heralded, there are plenty of other kinds of dollars you can choose from, including the Canadian and Australian. Furthermore, you can slip into the burgeoning bills from China, India and Brazil as well. As these countries emerge from the abyss of the Third World, they are projected to be the dominant world currencies and economies. Take heed. - 23210

ETF Trading Strategies For Everyone

By Patrick Deaton

There are many ETF trading strategies that offer a person just entering ETF the opportunity to reap great rewards when they are successfully used. However, in order to make the strategy perform at the level one desire, it is important that the correct strategy be paired with the style of trading that will be done.

Creating some safety nets that allow for experimentation and testing of different strategies and methods will be very helpful. One of the more important safety nets to set up early on is to set buy and sell limits. By setting limits, a person will be able to sell before they lose their gains as a result of an ineffective strategy.

The ETF strategy that one employs will, in large part, be determined by the type of trading that will take place. A person who is adding ETF as a long-term part of an established portfolio will use a different trading strategy than the individual who is entering trading for short-term gains.

ETFs are becoming a popular product to include in long term mixed portfolios. When an individual has ETFs in their long term portfolio, they may only evaluate the ETF on a yearly basis when they look at the rest of their portfolio. Changes and trades are usually managed by the portfolio manager or broker that is handling the portfolio. Individual who have these ETFs do not trade often and usually don't have a lot of knowledge about the possible advantages that can be made through a more proactive trading approach.

The knowledge and skills that an individual needs to be effective with a trading strategy will impact their return on trading. When a strategy or method is being considered, it is important to take time to research the strategy and find out how it has performed historically.

When a strategy is advertised that has been effective for only a few people, it does not have the history necessary to make it an effective trading strategy. The riskier the ETF trading that is being done, the more important it is to have a thorough knowledge of the strategy and confidence in its ability to provide consistent results.

Many financial advisers and long term ETF investors use the Buy and Hold Strategy. This strategy is designed more for low risk trading. The trades are spread across many sectors so the overall portfolio risk is reduced. This strategy does not require constant attention and is a relatively hands-off approach to trading. The strategy provides steady growth from varied financial products. This is also the down side of the strategy. The trader does not know what is happening in the market on a regular basis, does not follow the index, and misses many opportunities to take advantage of changes in the market that can result in significant gains in their portfolio.

A more active role in trading occurs with the Active Long-Term Trading Strategy. This is a variation of the Buy and Hold Strategy and provides more opportunity of an individual to make trades. However, it is also designed for long-term, steady growth. An individual may choose the level of involvement they want to have in the trading activities that take place and can be more proactive with their portfolio.

The ETF strategies that are available provide a person with many opportunities to make gains in their trading. However, research and knowledge of the ETF and how it works is an important part of pairing the most effective trading strategy with the type of trading that a person does. When deciding on the strategy that will be most effective for one's needs it will be very helpful to talk to an individual who has expertise in both trading strategies and ETF as a whole. - 23210

Forex Trading Courses Online

By Bart Icles

Currency trading online has risen in popularity the past few years. Because of this a lot of people have tried venturing into this. This resulted in a huge amount of forex trading courses being offered to interested forex traders online. Though it may seem interesting to buy one from their advertisements, it also seems too good to be true that they could guarantee you forex trading success and make tenfold your investment by enrolling in their forex training courses for a few hundred dollars. Well before being lured in to buying one, make sure that you are paying for the right forex trading course.

Most forex trading courses offered online are useless. All they present are luring advertisements to appeal to the greed of the buyers. They advertise them as "make a regular income at the comfort of your own homes," "bigger earnings than your regular day job," "90% success rate," and other enticing statements to lure the buyers to go for instant cash by buying their forex trading courses.

It is still surprising that a lot of people fall for them. They buy the course from these sites then after a while they wonder why they aren't getting the success that was advertised to them. I feel bad for these people. We should learn not to fall to the advertisement hype that is presented by these courses offered online from their experiences.

We should think to ourselves that if the forex trading courses they are offering are really that successful, then why don't they just do forex trading and stop selling these courses?

A good forex trading course would come from a vendor that can give you a real track record of success in forex trading. This is what you will not find in those being advertised online. Maybe they'll be able to show you a hypothetical one indicating closing prices, etc. but anyone of us can do that! And for someone who has a good track record in forex trading, for sure he will not easily share his strategy for a few hundred dollars, he'll be busy making money trading for that matter.

Though there are a few honest forex trading courses available, most of them are crap. Learning the basics is pretty much free as there are a lot of available materials to learn forex basics for free online or it can also be purchased in bookstores.

Those who become successful in forex trading are the ones who really take time and hard work learning it and looking for ways to have an edge in trading. You should not depend your success on some forex trading course you purchased for a few hundred dollars. - 23210
