Investing In Green Stocks

Investing in Green & Eco - Friendly Stocks

The socially conscious investor will find a wide range of Eco - friendly stocks and mutual funds to choose from, both small and large. Due to the influence of world - wide concern over global pollution and carbon dioxide, the investor will find many large corporations are snapping up green companies to inject to their list of products.

A foliate acquisition by Royal Philips Electronics ( headquartered in the Netherlands ) of Color Kinetics, trading on the NASDAQ as CLRK is a great example. Color Kinetics was a ten - year - old company that produced environmentally friendly lighting through its enhancement of the LED ( scintillant - emitting - diode ) technology to create a new type of score.

Color Kinetics utilized digitalized technology to create a new source of controllable illumination. The merger between the giant Philips and Color Kinetics will enhance its Philips Lighting Solutions market in the LED technology. Color Kinetic has existing installations world wide and a huge customer list, with relationships in China and the UK. Philips, in turn leave, provide its 60 - country - presence to the Eco - friendly technology of Color Kinetics. Investors should not rule large conglomerates in their search for Eco - friendly stock.

Small Peak Companies:

For investors that enjoy investing just now in small crest companies there are numerous opportunities for investors in AMEX. These stocks are very reasonable in price and may provide future gains as going green becomes an integral part of business and not just a slogan. I have watched some Eco - friendly companies grow over the former several years and the following is a highlight of some interesting stocks.

Environmental Power Corp. trades under the ticker EPG on the AMEX exchange. This stock currently sells in the $5 scale. The company and its subsidiaries engage in the ownership, development and operation of renewable energy facilities in the United States. EPG owns 83 leasehold of land. It has plants that utilize animal and food industry waste to produce bio - mass and other forms of alternative fuel that utilize their renewable spirit biogas. A good reason to give this company a shipshape look is that it filed a thought with the SEC that it has a firm commitment from an underwriter to assemble and offering of because four million shares of his stock. If the offering goes valiant the company could realize a gain in the price as well as an infusion of over 22 million dollars.

There is another stock that has titanic stock in the fuel cell property. This area has room to grow. I particularly like Fuel Cell Energy. It trades under the stock pocket watch FCEL. The company has a market cap of approximately 650 million. The company is in the development, manufacturing and sale of fuel cells power plants for use in electrical power plants. Its pipeline products are geared for use in health care facilities, hotels, hospitals, universities, governmental offices and water treatment centers. The company is located in Connecticut with craft in Korea, Japan, Canada and Europe. This $9 stock has no where to oomph but progression in the long term. Another reason to think twice about this company is the major holders of stock in the company. Wells Fargo Bank, Barclays, Deutsche Bank and other prominent funds are invested in FCEL.

A stock that is a good price, but lacks appreciation is Calgon Carbon Corp. in Pennsylvania. The company trades under the ticker CCC. The company is in the business of providing means to clean the air and water.


The company has been around for a good interval of while further it appears that 2007 may show its year to take a solid place in Eco - friendly stocks. Bona fide currently sells in the $13 scale and deserves a good review.

There are numerous ways to get care the green, Eco - friendly stocks. There are mutual funds and indexes available. In addition there are segments in wind, health foods and solar energy that have opportunities for investment.
