Two Companies Profiting From the “Fuel of the Future”

by Louise Harris, Investment U Research

You don’t have to look far to find one of today’s big economic and market buzz phrases: Green investing.

From green clothing websites, to CNN headlines heralding biofuel, companies are trying their best to capitalize on growing consumer sensitivity to the environment.

However, like the dotcom era before it, some of the green craze is no more than a speculative bubble. But many of it is the real deal. And despite past debacles, biofuels fall into the latter category.

A Deal With Dow

Take start-up company Cavitation Technologies Inc. (OTC: CVAT), which develops equipment that turns vegetable products into viable fuel. Only established in 2006, it just entered into a long-term agreement with Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW)

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) needs no introduction to Master Picks subscribers.  UBS upgraded five major airline stocks on Friday and of course left out JetBlue.  Thus the Masters are once again going to bat for JetBlue, which happens to be the only airline company that has 1.1 million followers on Twitter, more than any company except Whole Foods (...

CNN Money is running an interesting feature by David Goldman entitled "10 countries, 10 solutions" which details the particularities of the global economic crisis facing 10 key countries. In typical old-media fashion, the layout makes no sense from a user-friendliness perspective, so I'm going to take significant liberties in reposting their original content. They also have a single table layout of the 10 countries here. Time Warner lawyers, if you're watching this, get your editorial guys to put their content into a more sensible format that doesn't require constant clicking and I won't have to go such lengths to discuss it and in turn will actually drive more traffic to your site. Got that? Good. Now then, first some

TODAY: Obama firm on reasons for missile defense decision; Medvedev and Putin seem to take it as a positive sign; Putin wishes to see trade the next barrier broken; Russia will abandon Kaliningrad missile plans.  Pressure mounting regarding Iran situation; Israel apparently promises Medvedev no attack on Ahmadinejad regime.  Top cleric murdered in Ingushetia; disappearances abound.Barack Obama is still arguing the independence of his decision on missile defense saying, 'the Russians don't make determinations about what our defense posture is,' but if they are 'less paranoid' as a result, than can be considered a 'bonus'.  Defense Secretary Robert Gates has reiterated this position in an article in the New York Times.  Medvedev sees otherwise: '...

• Spencer (Angry Bear): Stock market when EPS growth turns positive, September 18, 2009. Unless the economy-market is on the verge of a major unforeseen calamity S&P 500 earnings per share growth will turn positive in the fourth quarter. Generally analysts are positive on the market because they expect very strong earnings growth in 2010. This will be the twelfth time since 1950 that earnings growth has turned positive.

• Jennifer Hughes (Financial Times): Risks of treading in the tracks of fallen angels, September 19, 2009. Talk about recovery and equity, not bond markets, are the classic upside bet. But this is not likely to be a strong, rapid recovery; instead, most economists are forecasting something far more tentative and

Data Call Technologies Inc., a pioneering provider of content to augment the effectiveness of all those new digital sign displays popping up everywhere, shows the real potential of digital signage when approached correctly. Digital signage allows users to integrate the main message with eye-catching entertainment information in a uniquely effective way, if you know what you are doing.

The old school of electronic advertising, which still dominates a lot of business thinking, tends to have an entertainment display occasionally broken up with commercials, just like watching a television. The hope, of course, is that the viewer will continue to watch the commercial. But viewers, especially if the display is in a fast paced viewer environment, will simply ignore most of those commercial messages. After all, it only takes a fraction of a second for a viewer to avert their eyes and

China walks the walk… red nation agrees to major shift away from dollar reserves… Gold soars… Frank Holmes with a historic reason gold should keep rising… You know Peak Oil, but Peak Stimulus? Chris Mayer offers a compelling chart on government intervention… Dark data: Service sector, retail, jobs all disappoint, plus a shocking stat on student debt…

Walking the long, windy road toward the demise of the dollar, we spy another mile marker today: China is officially putting their money where their mouth is.

After clamoring for a reserve alternative all year, the Chinese government agreed to a $50 billion currency-diverse deal with the IMF today. Back in June, the deal seemed imminent. This morning, it finally came to fruition.

In their deal with the IMF — the first of its kind for any nation, ever — China buys $50 billion worth of bonds denominated in Special Drawing Rights, which

Market prices should reflect underlying demand and supply. As in a vegetable stand, the prices come from the buying and selling of people in the market.

But with all the artificial stimulus money floating around, here and abroad, you can never be sure of what you see. Is this a real recovery or is it an artificially ripened tomato, and hence an imposter? When the stimulus money stops flowing, will the recession get worse?

CNN’s bailout tracker reports that U.S. government stimulus has totaled $2.8 trillion so far this year, with another $8.2 trillion in commitments. Most of this money has gone to the financial sector. Some of it has gone to infrastructure projects and to consumers (“cash for clunkers,” for example).

That is a lot of money. It is hard to say how all of this spending has artificially boosted economic activity in some sectors of the economy. It is obvious that

Employment Data: What Can You Believe?

Ryan Cole, The Investment U Research Team

In the first installment of this series, making sense of the economic data coming at us daily, we dealt with inflation.

Today, we’re looking at the employment numbers.

Some of you might remember, back in June we took a closer look at the way we calculate unemployment today – and the vagaries of our current system are coming home to roost now.

After all, we started August by losing jobs… but the unemployment rate somehow went down.

How can you increase the number of unemployed people, while reducing the number of unemployed?

Simple. You stop counting them. As noted in our earlier article, the official unemployment numbers don’t count a number of out-of-work people – including those who have been unemployed so long, their benefits
