Is DRIP Stock programs the best thing for a fallen Bear Market–are there other options?
Question by Albert B: Is DRIP Stock programs the best thing for a fallen Bear Market–are there other options?
Right now my best conclusions are to get a DRIP Program set up for a spider or mutual fund or maybe even just stocks on the following Backbone Stocks: GE, Goldman Sachs, Proctor & Gamble, Phillip Morris/Altria, AT&T and Exxon/Mobil.
I’m thinking of the DRIP Programs because if the stock I buy stays low, I’m still getting dividends paid to me.
FSE Listings: The Rubbish Resource, Waste-to-Energy, and a new face on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Greenwave Bio Limited (3G0)
Article by Sabina
For the most part, several decades ago the burning of garbage was banned due to the NIMBA (not in my backyard) nature of the concept. However, processing the waste and burning it as fuel has turned billions of tons of garbage and waste globally into a multi-billion dollar resource for bio-fuels and alternative energy. It has been scientifically documented that 1 ton of waste processed and turned to fuel, such as through burning produces CO2, however, less negative gases are released from burning than if the waste were to sit in a landfill emitting methane gases from decomposition into open-air. In fact, it?s 32% more harmful to the environment sitting in the landfills, and 100% less useful than turning it into the much needed energy source globally. In fact, having overfilled local landfill capacities in many of the developed world nations is having a devastating effect on many of the developing countries where refuse is now being exported to. As many of the existing ecosystems and rainforests are within the water systems of these countries throughout the world, the impact is local and international as far as global warming is concerned. A listed firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Greenwave Bio Limited has coined the phrase the Rubbish Resource as they explore new ways of recycling waste by generating electricity from landfill waste and pollution, in addition to or producing a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol, or synthetic fuels. The rubbish resource is only going to expand in developing countries, such as Africa, Central and South America. Greenwave Bio currently is organizing the waste deposit site and permitting to build such a plant in Central America, with special interest in expanding through-out Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Belize, and Costa Rica. Expansion into developing countries appears to be an ideal strategy with little to no competition, strong requirements for energy, and the developed nations shipping the resource into their backyard. What was a major problem for these developing countries is now a pile of gold. Waste-to-Energy is a renewable energy based upon combustion creating CO2, and the biomass burned or utilized being regrown to consume the CO2. In addition, nearly all biodegradable waste is biomass. That is, it has biological origin. This material has been formed by plants using atmospheric CO2 typically within the last growing season. If these plants are regrown the CO2 emitted from their combustion will be taken out from the atmosphere once more. Greenwave Bio has also been exploring the opportunity to reforest within the regions of operation to counter any effects of potential CO2. Biomass is considered to be carbon-neutral since the CO2 liberated from the combustion of biomass is recycled in plants. The biomass fraction has a monetary value under multiple greenhouse gas protocols, such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme and the Renewable Obligation Certificate program in the United Kingdom. In Countries such as South Africa, analysis from Frost & Sullivan , stated South African Waste-to-Energy Market, finds that the market earned revenues of .2 million in 2007 and estimates to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 10.5 per cent between 2007 and 2014. The proximity of Central and South America to the USA could prove to be a drastically larger market aside from their own domestic production of garbage resources.
According to a new report from Pike Research entitled ?Waste-to-Energy Technology Markets?, worldwide revenues from WTE systems will enter a period of strong growth by 2012, increasing from .7 billion in 2010 to nearly .6 billion by 2016. ?Waste-to-energy plants serve an important dual purpose,? says Pike Research president Clint Wheelock. ?They help alleviate the growing municipal solid waste problem, while simultaneously providing much-needed renewable energy and heat sources to local populations. Energy from waste contributes to energy security and diversification, and matches the growing demand for renewable energy in a carbon constrained world.? Today, more than 900 thermal WTE plants operate around the world and treat an estimated 0.2 billion tons of MSW with an output of approximately 130 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity.

Penny Stock Recommendations For 2010
Article by Matt Morris
If you ever took a look at the stock market around mid March to June of 2009, you would have likely noticed many grossly oversold stocks starting to bounce back with great ferocity. Some of those stocks were: PIR (Pier 1 imports), LZB (Lazy Boy Furniture) and ZLC (Zales) to name just a few.
Basically, what happened is that the selling in the market reached a fevered pitch in the first 2 months of 2009. The market was selling stocks down to historic levels regardless of the fact that they had a decent balance sheet and little debt. Investors were expecting the economy to keep shrinking for many months before positive economic data began to leak out in early March.
How to Build a Diverse Stock Portfolio
Article by Randall Stewart
In today?s tumultuous markets, actively managing your money is clearly the safest and least reckless way to investing your money since you are in control.
Creating a diverse stock portfolio has become much easier to do for the average investor compared to 20 or 30 years ago. The cost of purchasing and selling shares has dropped considerably over the years. Online discount brokers offer a bigger bang for your buck by providing many services and investment tools or resources that were once reserved only for the big players. This has evened out the playing field so that the little guy, like you and me, can enter the market and make a descent buck.
