Could there be more than what skeptic observers make of Richard Branson flying one of his Virgin aircraft on a bio-fuel blend? The flamboyant entrepreneur from across the Atlantic has defended his venture to reduce the fossil fuel effects of his airline stoutly. He insists that his passion is about more than just his stock value!
People, who have profited most from sub-prime, sell credit card and auto loan stocks short now. Look around you, and see how many folks you know who are knee deep or worse in debts that they cannot afford. Bankruptcy is not the stigma it used to be. Outgoing and incoming Presidents will be tempted to protect innocents from loan repayment burdens. Short all stocks that you can rent from the Consumer Financial Services sub-category of the financial sector.
The stock market is inseparable from international politics. Even communists acknowledge the stock exchange reality of modern life. Most US stocks can be owned by foreigners. Washington encourages American investments abroad. Opinions are divided on links between Iraq and our unquenchable thirst for oil. However, there is no doubt that Anti-American interest in Venezuela uses oil trade as a weapon against us. The Russians do the same thing with heating gas for some former units of the Soviet Union. The strategic oil reserve of Alaska is a prime source of US military strength. Energy is a potent stock with over one thousand world listings from coal, oil, gas, and alternative energy enterprises.

Clean Energy Stocks
The new Australian Prime Minister has endorsed the Kyoto Protocol, and a 2009 US President may also move decisively in the direction of clean energy. Green business becomes more popular by the month. The alternative energy area is so full of half-baked business ideas that some observers predict it to be a future bubble that will burst like sub prime. However, there are stocks available for investors who want places in alternative energy without undue capital risks.
Do not choose to move to Somerville in Texas. The town has a 60% higher cancer and birth defect rate than any other place in the United States. It makes no sense to hold on to stocks of the rail road which burns toxic materials in this area, because town folks have taken the company to court. It is even more significant, from a stock investment perspective, that the public has approached Warren Buffet. He owns most of the railroad stock. The town folk expect him to provide relief from the poisons this company releases in to the town air. Communities, especially Aleutians and farm labor, have lived with pollution for decades, so the Somerville movement seems to be new.
People Power and Stock Performance (Part 1)
Let us sound a note of caution. Every stock market is full of investment opportunities that are ‘greener than thou’. They promise electricity from waste, zero pollution, and even ageless living! Many of these stocks represent enormous risks in terms of retirement financial planning. Some extreme activists are willing to forsake social security in order to protect the environment, but why not copy Al Gore and make big bucks out of the movement as well? Do not fall for every alternative stock that meets your eye. How can you know which green business stocks will make money? Here are some leads to give your thinking cells a shove:
Top stock picks cannot rely on personalities. Ford, Watson, and Suzuki, are iconic names of the business world, but the organization structures and power transition conventions of Unilever, Coca-Cola, and Shell, protect stock investment interests best. People who have owned stocks of Apple or Yahoo may rejoice at the returns of founders to stabilize floundering ships, but the orderly succession at Microsoft must account for an achievement that even European detractors would not criticize. The best leaders plan for their own redundancies, and like Caesar never allow peaks of triumph to let them forget that empires must try and survive individuals.
