If you believe alternative energy is here to stay, then trust the sell-off in green energy is bringing these stock prices back down to earth. Our new administration is serious about re-tooling our infrastructure and building out an alternative energy grid: anticipating this, renewable energy stocks shot up like a rocket in the final months of 2020.
😲Why does this matter to you? An aggressive climate change-focused agenda in combination with reduced oil & gas production costs, improved drilling technologies, and rapidly increasing energy conservation in the corporate world, meant the sky was the limit for the green-stocks. Whenever a sector goes on an extended run, like green energy did in 2020, you are bound for a pullback at some point, even if there is further upside in store.
What is a bubble stock and what is a stock with a price that has just gone up? Bubble headlines sound like this: · Digital “crypto” currency will replace the U.S. dollar as the dominant currency. · Electric vehicles will eliminate the internal combustion engine. · Marijuana will displace modern medicine and alcohol and tobacco as the recreational drug of choice. · Space travel will become the new logistics platform and space tourism will displace beach vacations. · Home-sharing will replace the hotel industry and ridesharing will eliminate the need for personal vehicles. · Autonomous driving will replace human drivers. · Plant-based meat will replace animal meat and food delivery will permanently change how we shop. · Gyms, calisthenics, and going for a jog will be replaced by bikes and screens and digital workout platforms. · Video conferencing Zoom meetings will replace in-person meetings. 😊Why does this matter to you?You know you are in a bubble when a thesis develops that some new innovation will take over the world. Our goal is to identify the real deals…the mega-trends that are going to transform our world and then, build positions in a way that always considers the risk of new technologies and a changing world.
