Profit from the Solar Energy Index ETF (TAN)

Posted July 15, 2008

“While many solar companies have been beaten down this year, the industry still shows great promise. Solar currently generates less than 1 percent of America’s power needs, which means there is plenty of room for growth.” — Christian Hill

Baltimore – (TFN): The world of exchange traded funds (ETFs) is ever-evolving. Nowadays, you can invest in a fund that covers just about any niche market. One that has caught my interest lately is the Claymore/MAC Global Solar Energy Index ETF (TAN). (Apparently, even Wall Street has a bit of a sense of humor.)

The fund selects companies based on “the relative importance of solar power within the company’s business model.” In other words, the fund covers only companies that derive more than one-third of their revenue from solar-related business. This includes companies directly involved in the production of solar power equipment and products for end users, as well as companies that fabricate parts for solar companies, provide services for solar-equipment producers, or supply raw materials, among other criteria.

Our Alternative Energy experts have uncovered a little-known but lucrative opportunity we’re calling “California’s Clean-Air Cash-Outs.”

It’s an opportunity that allows ordinary citizens to collect checks of $3,000, $15,000, even $30,000 and more.

And the best part. . .

The way these “Cash-Outs” are designed, you don’t need a lot of money to reap the benefits. All you need to know is how to get started.

Learn how today!

While many solar companies have been beaten down this year, the industry still shows great promise. Solar currently generates less than 1 percent of America’s power needs, which means there is plenty of room for growth.

The solar industry still faces hurdles, such as the current worldwide shortage of polysilicon, a key component of photovoltaic cells. Fortunately for us, one of the companies in TAN is MEMC Electronic Materials (MEMC), a major supplier of silicon wafers. So even if actual production slows, you still own a company that benefits from the shortage of silicon. Read on to learn more.
