  • Is There a "Best Way" to Invest in Wind Power? [View article]
    If you are looking for some other wind energy investments, check out Kaydon (KDN) (wind turbine bearings), APWR (China wind turbine producer), OTTR (wind towers), TRN (wind towers), and CPTC.ob (wind turbine producer).

  • Transmission, Tax Issues Threaten Growth of US Wind Power  [View article]
    If the government cannot renew the PTC I will lose all faith in them. The renewal of the PTC is so obviously beneficial to the USA that I can only assume the government is totally corrupt if they fail to renew it.

    Mariposa, I think the PEs for the wind turbine makers is very reasonable: Nordex - 22, Vestas - 25.

    This article has some PE numbers at the bottom:

    Another one to mention is Canadian Hydro Developers (KHD.TO) - they own a number of windfarms in Canada.

    Great article. If you mention Clipper, then you need to include the 3 bigger, by market share, wind turbine producers: Vestas (VWSYF.PK), Gamesa (GCTAF.PK), and Nordex (NRDXF.pk). All three of these companies are great investments for the future. I own all 3. Gamesa and Nordex are 2 of my biggest holdings.

  • Buying Broadwind on GE, Gamesa Wind Energy Deals [View article]
    BWEN is a very well run company, and I made some money on it in the past. The problem is that the shares are extremely expensive. The company has a market cap of 887mil and a revenue of only 29mil, according to yahoo finance. You can buy the 2 biggest wind turbine makers in the world, via the pink sheets: Vestas (VWSYF.pk), and Gamesa (GCTAF.pk). Each pink sheet share represents a European-traded share. These are 2 great companies that are doing some amazing things.

    In the U.S. you can buy Trinity (TRN) - they have a PE around 7! Most of their business is building rail cars, but they also have a fast-growing wind tower business that is bigger than Broadwind's, and much cheaper.
