Another Way to Make Money on Oil

In 2008, Exxon Mobil set a quarterly record for US companies. They made $15 billion in profits when oil prices were above $100/barrel. With oil prices still lingering above $100/barrel, they (and the rest of the oil majors) may not set a new record but they will still make obscene profits. And there’s another reason…

Eliminate the Flu and Make 136%

Two years ago this month, the world was gripped by fear. A global pandemic had emerged. And no one was ready for it. It was the H1N1 virus – swine flu. Fortunately our worst nightmare never came true. While the strain killed an estimated 18,000 people worldwide, it accounted for fewer than 5% of flu-related…

One of the major ways for investors to make money over the next 20 years will be in the health care sector. The reason can be summed up in two words: baby boomers. At 75 million strong, they will be spending an unprecedented amount of money on health care as they age. As a result,…

More Water Through Technology

Yesterday, I discussed the pressures being put on the global supply of fresh water. Nearly 1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water – and as the world’s population grows, the situation will only get worse.

The Next Oil

Boutros Boutros-Ghali’s statement that the wars of the 21st century will be fought over water may strike you as absurd. Perhaps ridiculous. After all, most wars of the 20th century were fought over oil. And our appetite for oil hasn’t slowed. All indications are that demand will rise 25% in the next 20 years. But…

The Government Has Solar’s Back

Yesterday, I talked about the tremendous year the solar industry had in 2010. While the S&P was up nearly 20%, some companies saw gains as high as 80% and 120%. And for the first time ever, the industry installed over 1 gigawatt of capacity. Solar has a lot of momentum going into 2011. And that…
