Walter Nasdeo, Ardour Capital, Discusses Alternative Energy Stocks, Part II

lol, I am still laughing... "flywheels and advanced batteries" ... thanks for sending me down that rabbit trail with my metal detector Mr. Nasdeo while you're scooping up gold coins with a shovel!

Walter Nasdeo, Ardour Capital, Discusses Alternative Energy Stocks, Part II

Following up on piggybank's well informed and educated reply, I would also like to add my thoughts on Mr. Nasdeo's ludicrous and, I believe, intentionally misleading statement (you may call them omitted truths).

Piggybank pointed out with accuracy the immense growth and deployment of wind energy which I do not need to repeat; it makes me wonder, Mr. Nasdeo, being a man of sound judgement and certain prognosticative abilities as Director of Research at Ardour... could he have indeed missed Wind Energy altogether? I think not!

To even list ethanol at this stage of the game as a viable investment opportunity is ludicrous, and hopefully you see the light of the freight train at the end of that tunnel as I will not take the time to address that here. Solar, indeed, has been and will continue to be viable and lucrative. Mr. Nasdeo then goes on to say...

"We’re starting to see other things get exciting now. The whole concept of energy efficiency is very important; energy storage is very important; things like flywheels, ultra-capacitors, advanced batteries, the way you have efficient lighting and the software-generated brains to run a building."

He leaps from solar and, lord help me, ethanol to... can you believe it... flywheels and advanced batteries?! Yes, Mr. Nasdeo, lets fail to address the elephant in the room. How could a highly educated Investment Capitalist miss Wind Energy?! He hasn't.

I assert, (yes call me a conspiracist) that Mr. Nasdeo, like many others in his position, are and will continue to leave Wind Energy on the back burner until they have amassed monumental quantities into their firm's portfolio and are poised to profit like kings when "Oh looky here energy from wind" promos hit and the media moguls flood the market with wind stats and random info and everyone goes Wind Crazy!

Can you offer a sound rebuttal of this theory? No, you cannot. Wind Energy is the "quiet" alternative energy, both in the physical sense and the media hype sense.

Would it be in Mr. Nasdeo's best interest, or others of his caliber and position, to "alert" us to the incredible investment potential that all facets of Wind Energy has to offer for the coming years? Not right now it wouldn't. Oh sure he would get the official "pat on the back/saw that one coming" nod from the princes but why risk hundreds of millions in profit by "letting the cat out of the bag".

I'll take money over recognition any day of the week, and so would you... and so would Mr. Naseo and Ardour Capital.

Hoarde, amass, gather into your storehouses... and when the media is finally released, sit back... relax... and enjoy the "windfall" right along with Mr. Nasdeo and Co. :)
