How To Invest In Green & Eco-Friendly Stocks

The socially conscious investor will find a large range of eco-friendly stocks and mutual funds to select from, both large and small. Thanks to the influence of world-wide concern over global pollution and carbon-dioxide, the investor will find many massive firms are snapping up green companies to contribute to their list of products.

a recent purchase 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 ecologically friendly lighting thru its enhancement of the LED ( light-emitting-diode ) technology to make a new sort of illumination.

Color Kinetics employed digitalized technology to form a new source of controllable illumination. The alliance between the giant Philips and Color Kinetics will reinforce its Philips Lighting Solutions market in the LED technology. Color Kinetic has existing installations world wide and a huge shopper list, with relations in China and the United Kingdom. Philips, in turn will, provide its 60-country-presence to the Eco-friendly technology of Color Kinetics. Stockholders should not rule large conglomerates in their search for ecologically friendly stock.

tiny Cap companies :

For backers that enjoy investing in small cap companies there are numerous possibilities for financiers in AMEX. These stocks are very reasonable in price and may provide future gains as turning green becomes an integral part of business and not just a slogan. I have watched some eco friendly corporations grow over the last 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 range. The company and its subsidiaries join in the possession, development and operation of renewable energy facilities in the US. EPG owns 83 leasehold of land. It has plants that utilise animal and food industry waste to provide bio-mass and other forms of different fuel that utilise their green energy biogas. A good reason to give this company a close look is that it filed a notice with the SEC that it has got a firm commitment from an underwriter to make and offering of over four million shares of his stock. If the offering goes forward the company could realize a gain in the price as well as an infusion of over twenty-two million bucks.

there's another stock that has great promise in the fuel cell area. This area has room to grow. I especially like Fuel Cell Energy. It trades under the stock ticker FCEL. The company has a market cap of roughly 650 million. The company is in the development, producing and sale of fuel cells power plants for use in electric power plants. Its pipeline products are geared to be used in medical care facilities, hotels, hospitals, colleges, governmental offices and water treatment centres. The company is located in Connecticut with office in Korea, Japan, Canada and Europe. This $9 stock has no where to go but up 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 distinguished funds are invested in FCEL.

A stock that may be a good value but lacks appreciation is Calgon Carbon company. 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 Firm has been around for a good period and it would appear that 2007 could be its year to take a solid place in Eco-friendly stocks. It now sells in the $13 range and merits an enthusiastic review.

There are countless ways to get into the green, ecologically friendly stocks. There are mutual funds and indexes available. Additionally there are segments in wind, health foods and solar energy that have chances for investment. Learn more on investment educations.
