Energy Portfolios: 18 Months: Sustainable up 257.06%: Fossil Fuel up 24.56%

PL_EnergyPort_14_06On Dec. 21, 2012, I put $16 Million imaginary dollars in equal imaginary investments in 16 real energy companies; Eight in the Sustainable Energy space and eight in the fossil fuel space. In the 18 months between the close of trading December 21, 2012 and the close of trading June 20, 2014,

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 29.46% from 12/21/12.
  • The S&P 500 is up 37.27%.
  • The Fossil Fuel Portfolio is up 24.56% from Dec. 21, 2012.
  • The Sustainable Energy portfolio is up 257.06% from Dec. 21, 2012.

In addition to the data summary, below, this post, the 21st in the series, will be followed with a summary analysis.

EnergyPortfolios_Indices_2014_06

The Sustainable Energy portfolio is composed of Cree and Lighting Sciences in the LED space, GTAT, which in Dec. 2012 focused on ovens for cooking PV wafers, and today is diversifying, First Solar and Sunpower in the solar space, Vestas, a wind company, Solazyme, a biofuel company and Next Era, a utility. The fossil fuel companies are the oil companies BP, Chevron Texaco, Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, the coal company Peabody Energy, and Haliburton and Transocean, companies in the offshore oil and oil and gas drilling service industries. I did not include Tesla and Solar City in the sustainable energy space, or  PSE&G, Valero, Hess, Sunoco, Gazprom in the Fossil Fuel portfolio, or expand it to include Entergy, Exelon, and other companies in the nuclear energy space.

The data are summarized beginning in Table 1, below.

I, Larry Furman, an analyst with Popular Logistics, hold a BS and an MBA, am available for consulting in various domains and can be reached at “lfurman97” at G Mail.  My goal in these posts is to present and discuss a phenomena I find “interesting” in a scientific sense. Investments in equities of various companies are risky.  I am NOT a licensed stock broker, investment adviser or financial adviser and this should n0t be considered “Financial Advice” or “Investment Advice.”
