For investors following oil sands stocks

As the oil and gas sector goes thru its ups and downs with the price of oil and new energy sources such as renewable and green tech are looked at - some oil industry analysts love the prospects of the oil sands stocks.

With environmental concerns being an issue see how the players are adjusting and track what is happening in some of the stocks drilling and buying properties in the sector.

According to a recent article in the Globe:

"Oil sands woes will be resolved, energy board says
DAVID EBNER
Sunday, January 28, 2007
Calgary — Alberta will overcome the difficult challenges facing oil sands development, the head of the provincial energy regulator says.
“I firmly believe this will be very well organized and deliberately planned on the part of everybody to ensure this resource is extracted properly. We will make sure of that, because as an organization we can't stand by and see it done otherwise,” Neil McCrank, chairman of the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, said in an interview.
In November and December, the board approved two new oil sands projects but both times warned that rapid expansion of the oil sands was reaching a critical point.
With roughly $100-billion of work planned for the region over the next decade, problems are everywhere in Fort McMurray, from a severe housing shortage that has made the remote city one of Canada's most expensive to extremely stressed health care facilities"

Three Tiny Mo-Mo Stocks for a Big Mo-Mo Market
By Michael BrushExclusively for InvestorIdeas.comJanuary 25, 2007
There’s so much bullishness in the market now as indices and many stocks hit all-time highs, you need to be careful. Often when bullishness gets to these extremes, a pullback providing better prices lies around the corner.
But if you insist on jumping on the bandwagon and buying stocks trading at or near all-time highs, why not go along with insiders who are doing the same?

Solar IPO’s Boom in 2006
By Peter Lynch
for InvestorIdeas.com
January 19, 2007

In the past, a solar IPO (Initial Public Offering) was a rare event, with never more than 2 or 3 coming public in any given year. This past year, 2006, marks the beginning of a significant ramp up in solar IPO’s and more importantly, it is the beginning of serious financial resources coming into the solar industry which will allow the industry to continue its current robust growth. In fact, the 2006 solar IPO boom, really started in the last 6 weeks of 2005, when Sunpower (SPWR) and Suntech (STP) came public and are up 130% and 75% respectively since their IPO’s.

The days of the solar industry being an under funded “cottage industry” are over and with the onset of serious funding, a bright new future awaits us all.
advertisement Although once again, the photovoltaics (PV) sector has dominated the public financing arena, there have been a number of ethanol related IPO’s that have also started to trade their shares on the public markets in the U.S. Below is a break down of the PV IPO’s in terms of offerings that have been completed in 2006 and offerings that have filed (with the SEC) or rumored to go public in the very near future.

Proposed initial stock price: unknown. Market cap: unknown
Website: www.n-pv.com/english/index.asp



Notes:
The term “market capitalization” (market cap) is the total number of shares outstanding times the current stock price – this is an important number investors should be aware of since it is the value that the market is currently placing on the entire company. Thin Film technology is what I would describe as the “next generation” of PV technology. It will NOT be subject to silicon shortages and will allow much lower cost of manufacturing.

Going Green - Investing in Renewable Energy- Fashionable or Necessary?
We started RenewableEnergyStocks.com® years ago based on a long term philosophy in the energy sector and also influenced by issues like Homeland Security that it was only a matter of time that the transition in energy technology would take place as oil prices became higher and the countdown to a diminishing oil supply got closer . We knew it could be years – up to ten maybe- but it was inevitable that the transition would come as the technology improved and the costs for producing renewable and clean energy came down. Throw in the global growth engine fuelled by China and India and the resulting environmental damage and accelerated climate changes and we have the perfect climate so to speak or companies to go green and so investors must follow.
In fairness, there has been a global following for the sector for some time, but it has now reached the minds and trading accounts of mainstream investors that aren’t all investing with their hearts.
It is an exciting time as the momentum is coming from government and industry to make this revolutionary change .
We like to pat ourselves on the back that we were here and around before the copy cat sites for Renewableenergystocks.com jumped on the bandwagon. We are still the leader on Google, Yahoo , MSN and AOL if you are searching for info on “renewable energy stocks”
We think our upcoming Greentech Investor Conference "Investing in the Environment: Global Warming, Global Warning – Investing Today for Tomorrow’s Future" will be another milestone for our site in terms of providing research resources and information for investors and industry looking at the sector
Register early- its free – not like some of the conferences where visitors have to pay- this is free to investors – like most of our info
http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/Forums/Register.aspx
But as always , remember even if you are doing what you think is the right thing by investing in Green companies, there is risk and you may loose a little green if you don’t do your homework .

InvestorIdeas.com® Announces Upcoming Online Greentech Investor Conference "Investing in the Environment: Global Warming, Global Warning – Investing Today for Tomorrow’s Future"



As the Fight Against Climate Change Becomes a Global Priority, the Online Conference will Explore Investing Opportunities



POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – January 12, 2007, www.InvestorIdeas.com, and its greentech portals, global investor and industry resources for the renewable and clean tech sector, announce its upcoming online investor conference on ‘Investing in the Environment’ available March 21st, 2007, starting at 9:00 am EST and archived thereafter. With issues of energy independence, global warming and environmental concerns including pollution, water contamination and shortages escalating, cleantech investments continue to rise as global political support strengthens.



The online conference will include presentations (audio with power point slides) from renewable, environmental, water, clean energy and technology experts as well as public company CEOs providing in-depth perspectives on what is happening in the Greentech sector. Current participating public companies include ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP), Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB: ROTB), WaterBank of America (USA) Inc. (OTCBB: WBKA) and International Barrier Technology Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF).



As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi calls for “a new America that declares our energy independence, promotes domestic sources of renewable energy, and confronts climate change,” and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposes a Low Carbon Fuel Standard to reduce green house gas emissions by at least 10% in California by 2020, support for ‘green’ technology shows continued signs of growth.



It is clear that the fight against climate change has become a global priority evidenced by the recent proposal from the European Commission for the establishment of a new Energy Policy for Europe to combat climate change and increase energy security. In addition, investment into ‘green’ technology continues to grow domestically and internationally. According to the Cleantech Venture Network, cleantech investment for Q3’06 comprised 14% of all North American, and 12% of all European venture investments totaling $1.081 billion for the quarter.



The online conference is free to investors and online visitors, with login registration.

NASDAQ closing near 6 year highs- now that’s more relevant to the average individual investor. With the Dow's performance over the last months, it really did not impact the portfolio or pocketbook of the average investor - But NASDAQ covers a more across the board investor.
With a lot of positive speculation around earnings for tech stocks- this could be interesting year for the retail investor. Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc were leaders in the NASDAQ and tech run.

Money shift from commodity stocks to tech?

All of the money coming out of oil and gold and other commodity markets has to go somewhere - there is a lot of buzz around Tech for 2007. With companies like Google and Apple shining in the sector, some analysts think there is a lot of play in small caps in the tech sector

Again, what we have seen, these "trends" seem like short term thinking and can shift in a day. I am not sure I believe its time to leave the commodity markets if you are a long term player, since the driving global demand is still there. Not much has really changed other than perception and some sell off by bigger players.

So what are the individual investors to do? Don't be a trend follower- is a trend leader and pick your spots to get in on weakness

With that said, I do have a lot of optimism for the tech sector as it has been out of favor for a while and we see first hand how tech and the internet are changing the global face of business to increased online advertising to increased online sales and ecommerce - those trends and data are real

From what we see on our site traffic, the interest in commodities from individual investors is alive and well based on how they are searching and what they are researching.

Also from our site stats- looks like this could be good year for renewable energy stocks

Defense stocks looking back and looking ahead
There was a time at Investorideas.com hub of sector portals when our Homelanddefensestocks.com dominated the group. We had ten featured companies, hosted several very successful online investor conferences (one with 14 public companies participating) a live conference at the Press Club in Washington DC that had significant impact on the trading of all participants. The sector was hot. We were hot- featured in Business Week online twice and several other publications including CBS Market watch radio.


So looking at 2006 and the larger defense stocks - and their performance- with Lockheed Martin giving investors a 45 percent gain in share price, Raytheon a 30 percent gain , Boeing with 27 percent and Northrop Grumman showing 12 percent- why did some of the smaller players loose their luster? We saw some of the small players have major losses in share price. Was it just an example of the overall trend where investors were looking for large caps vs. small caps? Or was it the sector got overplayed by retail investors and those that did not deliver - got punished!

According to a regular contributor to our site - Scott Sacknoff-"Defense and homeland security companies continued to outperform the broader market in 2006 as the benchmark SPADE Defense Index (DXS) gained 19.33% and marked the seventh consecutive year it has outperformed the S&P500. It is a remarkable run that has seen the sector generate alpha over the broader markets not just for seven years running but in 20 of the last 26 quarters. This past year saw the sector outperform the broader markets by 571 basis point. And since 2000, the Index has gained a whopping 113.86% compared with a 3.47% LOSS by the S&P 500."

We found our HDS portal move down the ranks and loose its number one ranking. We recently saw some new life injected as the portal and Scott got coverage on CNBC on January 2nd.

Maybe it’s a sign of things to come.
