Wind Energy Stocks - A Quick List

Since I posted the list of solar energy stocks a few days ago, I have come up with a list of wind energy stocks per requests from readers.

The following are a list of the pure plays and semi-pure plays in the wind energy field. Companies which have a very small portion of their business in wind were excluded (e.g. GE, FPL, TXU). The list shows the name of the company, the stock market symbol and their business. Some of these stocks are very speculative and none are recommendations:

• Americas Wind Energy Corporation (AWNE.OB) manufacturing and marketing of medium sized (500 - 1,000 megawatt (MW)) wind turbines for the North American market.
• Babcock & Brown Wind Partners (BBWPF.PK) An Australian based specialized investment fund focused on the wind energy generation sector
• Gamesa Corp. (GCTAF.PK) 18% of the world's share of the wind turbine market. Based in Spain.
• Kore Holdings (KORH.PK) A power provider and marketer of alternative energy from wind farms, hydro and distributed power facilities.

COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY CORP COM "CPTC.OB" is gaining front runner in some major alt. energy pushes.. They just received another patent and also signed a major turbine deal with the UK. Watch this stock jump 5x fold under Obama regime!

CPTC is a bargain at current price, I think its got real promise. Might be one of those hidden gems in the wind energy sector.

The problem is that Obama is bankrupting the country, so it probably is not going make any difference. Any gain you make will be offset by higher taxes and hyper-inflation which is almost guaranteed. If you invest in gold, Obama will confiscate it like Roosevelt did in 1933-34. That means you will lose 40% on any gold investment. It does not look good.
