    Thanks for the feedback. The smaller companies mentioned by User 10755 are also considered "green" and have a role to play in sustainable, clean technologies. The same could be said for ECOL and CECE. As an investor though, the green sector is probably best approached through an ETF so we can get a variety of green companies Reply

    The earnings briefs are interesting. It would save us all a scratch pad if you ended each such listing with a summary (day and quarter to date) of beat / match / miss. Thanks, though, for this most interesting listing. Reply

    What about a variety of small to micro-cap stocks that we'd consider Green companies such as:

    CPST, SATC, HYGS, CPTC, ESLR, ZOLT, PWR, DAR...

    Does any of these smaller companies qualify as sustainable, possibly on another level?

    Thank You

    User is right -- we did extensive research on Chipotle, and although it's a stock and company we like, don't be deceived -- their food is really not that healthy. What is healthy is the way they treat the environment and from where they get their inputs... Reply

    I hate to see anyone label Chopotle Burritos as "Healthy",no matter where their meat comes from! For a veggie burrito, with NO cheese or sour cream, but only black beans, rice, guacamole, and lettuce on a 13" burrito there are 25 grams of fat and over 2000mg of sodium, 87% of your RDA. More like deadly than healthy! Reply

    Are First Solar's panels really the most efficient? I am certainly no expert on efficiency of solar panels, but I have read other articles that SPWR produces more efficient (but higher cost because of the cost of silicon) panels. Reply

    Don't you love the term, "excluding special items", or for short, "ex items". What a way to hide expenses. Reply

    Thanks fat - Hope you took the money and ran!

    Bbody - The dollar was 40% stronger when oil was 70% cheaper. It's the disposal of $12Bn a day used on a commodity that is burned the same day (effectively burning the dollars) that is destroying our currency. Dollars flood the market as they are exchanged for what becomes nothing as soon as it's used and end up in the hands of OPEC, who don't need them all, allowing them to spend up for things they want creating more global inflation.

    If I paid you $2 a gallon for your tap water and you collected $1M a day at a huge profit, then you would end up inflating your local economy spending that money. If I paid you only in Lira and you tried spreading that around, you would find it was harder and harder to pass off as you push more of it on your local vendors and the local banks were swimming in it. Multiply that $1M a day by 12,000 and that is what is happening to the dollar - globally 4 Trillion of them are being used to buy oil per year and the consumers end up with nothing of lasting value for their dollars while the producers get more and more dollars every day and they do last, they pile up and up and up until they become worth what they look like - trash. Your currency cannot have value if you flood the world with it....

    I would be very worried when OIL price starts to drop. It may give the market a short term boost but ensuing demand destruction of DOLLAR will be ten times worse for US economy than $140 OIL. Reply

    Good article...I just would like to point out that not because you throw money at something, the problem will be solved...

    If I remember correctly, Ford spent north of one billion dollars researching battery technology based in a Sulfur chemistry, and they might as well have flushed the money down the toilet...

    quick..be careful. You are probably walking into a value trap, with many of the that ETFs holdings cutting their dividends. Reply
