The
GreenTechInvestor.com challenge was designed to give investors and
industry an opportunity to become educated in green technology
and learn about the current list of public plays in the sector. “I
was already interested in alternative energy due to my concerns for
our environment. What I learned specifically from the Green Energy
Stock Challenge contest was that there are a lot more companies in
this field than I initially thought. I was amazed at all of the
smaller companies working on alternative energy,” describes contest
winner Russ Michaud.
The contest
started June 19th and closed on August 18, 2006. The contest started
investors with $200,000 in virtual dollars to invest in green
companies of choice from a list provided by
RenewableEnergyStocks.com™. The stock list included a cross section
of public companies trading on OTC, AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE as well as
TSX.
Revealing his
contest tactics Mr. Michaud explains, “My winning strategy keyed on
playing the smaller 'penny stocks' and I read up on and learned a
lot about these companies after seeing them in stock list
provided. There are a lot of approaches to alternative energy and I
think I traded in most of them during the game: geothermal, hydro
power, wind, solar, biodiesel and of course the alternative fuel
cars being developed by ZAP. I not only traded these virtually in
the contest, but have also traded some quite profitably in my real
portfolio after learning about them and getting a feel for how they
moved.”

prizes included a ZAP®
