Cleantech News; Josh Levine from MicroCap Investor Newsletter Shares Cleantech Investment Outlook and Strategy

Josh Levine from MicroCap Investor Newsletter Shares Cleantech Investment Outlook and Strategy


New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 9, 2011 – Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research releases a recent Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing his cleantech investment outlook and strategy.

Investorideas.com Cleantech Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor http://www.levinesmicrocapinvestor.com/
Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.

Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people.
In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation.

This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.

Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits.

The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world.
Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start.


Q: Investorideas.com
You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment.

As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition.

It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand.

This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.


In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010!

With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!


Q: Investorideas.com

With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.



Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.



On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner.



There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company.



On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.





Q: Investorideas.com



Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?



A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor



All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale.



There a wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams.



In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more.



I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, I recently sold half of our position in one of these stocks to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.





Q: Investorideas.com



What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?



A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor



About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.



It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.

Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB:CWET) www.cleanwindenergytower.com
Clean Wind Energy, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc, is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large “Downdraft Towers” that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity.
Clean Wind has assembled a team of experienced business professionals, engineers and scientists with access to the breakthrough energy research upon which this technology is founded and the proven ability to bring the idea to market. Clean Wind has filed several patents that the Company believes will further enhance this potentially revolutionary technology.
Dual Renewable Energy Technology
The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines are attached to generators to produce electricity. The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical “wind vanes” that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This dual renewable energy resource enhances the capability and productivity of the Clean Wind system.
Environmental
Various parties in the United States and other nations are pursuing clean energy solutions that use efficient and cost- effective renewable resources to serve society while avoiding the adverse effects associated with fossil and nuclear fuels, and also the obvious limitations of solar collectors that work only when the sun shines or wind turbines that work only when the wind blows.
The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources. The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.
Partners
The Company has entered into a number of agreements with potential partners to meet the development aspects of the tower. Specifically, three of the largest companies in the world are working with clean wind providing final bids to meet the tower's specifications.

Wind Energy News; Clean Wind Energy Tower (OTC.BB:CWET) to Present Downdraft Wind Towers at NIBA Conference

Wind Energy News; Clean Wind Energy Tower (OTC.BB:CWET) to Present Downdraft Wind Towers at NIBA Conference
ANNAPOLIS, MD-- (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTC.BB:CWET) announced that they would be presenting the Company at the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) Conference to be held on March 2-4, 2011 at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The NIBA Conference will give Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. access to a large audience at one time. NIBA's membership is vast and multinational, and representing over 8,800 registered reps with an estimated $78BB in assets under management.

The highlight of the Company's presentation given by Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, will be the formal unveiling of their Downdraft Tower featuring Green Dual Renewable Energy Solutions.



Mr. Pickett stated: "Reliable alternative energy is very different from just providing green solutions. The Tower produces energy 24/7. The Tower creates wind using natural solar energy and water. The Tower is actually a power plant with a predictable production of electricity. Knowing its cost of producing electricity for a long term separates the Tower from other alternative sources."



The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines power generators to produce electricity. The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources.



Mr. Pickett also stated: "The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical 'wind vanes' that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This 'Dual' Renewable Energy feature increases the Tower's production by approximately 30% while stabilizing the structure and actually reducing the construction cost."



The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.



About Clean Wind Energy, Inc. (OTC.BB:CWETs)

Clean Wind Energy, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc., is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large "Downdraft Towers" that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity.



Clean Wind has assembled a team of experienced business professionals, engineers and scientists with access to the breakthrough energy research upon which this technology is founded and the proven ability to bring the idea to market. Clean Wind has filed several patents that the Company believes will further enhance this potentially revolutionary technology.

Cleantech Stocks Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter

In Environment of Rising Oil Prices, Levine Sees Major Investment Opportunities in Cleantech   
New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 2, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector investing including cleantech presents a Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing why cleantech's outlook is excellent for both the short and longer term. Josh discusses his research model for identifying the best pure plays within the sector.    
Investorideas.com Interview:   
Q: Investorideas.com  
Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?  
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.  
Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people. 
In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation. 
This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.  
Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits. 
The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world. 
Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start. 
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?  
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment. 
As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition. 
It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand. 
This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.  
In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010! 
With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?    
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.  
Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.  
On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner. 
There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company. 
On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?     
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale. 
There are wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams. 
In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more. 
I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, in 2009 I sold our position in demand response company EnerNOC (ENOC) for a 256% profit after only 13 months in the stock. And I recently sold half of our position in a current cleantech holding to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?    
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor 
About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.  
It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase (OTC.BB:XDSL) Smart NanoBattery Published in IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - March 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL), a leader in the development of Smart Surfaces and advanced battery technologies announced today that an article describing some of the technical aspects of the Smart NanoBattery architecture is published in the IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems.
The title of the paper, "Robust Si-Based Membranes for Fluid Control in Microbatteries Using Superlyophobic Nanostructures," is published in the IEEE/ASME Journal of icroelectromechanical Systems, a peer review technical journal describing leading edge research and development in areas involving Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) designs.
IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems was the number nine most-cited journal in electrical and electronics engineering in 2004, according to the annual Journal Citation Report (2004 edition) published by the Institute for Scientific Information. Read more at http://www.ieee.org/products/citations.html.
The article describes technical details of how the silicon honeycomb membrane used in the Smart NanoBattery was prepared using MEMS-type processing and the evolution of the unique "nanonail" design features that enable superlyophobic (also called omniphobic, superolephobic) behavior on the surface of the silicon membrane. The article goes on to describe how a variety of low and high-surface-tension liquids were repelled by the porous membranes, without liquid penetrating into the pores of the membrane, and how this design has been applied in the development of a reserve battery using electrowetting for control of cell activation and triggering.

In Environment of Rising Oil Prices, Josh Levine Sees Major Investment Opportunities in Cleantech

Cleantech Stocks Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter
In Environment of Rising Oil Prices, Levine Sees Major Investment Opportunities in Cleantech
New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 3, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector investing including cleantech presents a Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing why cleantech's outlook is excellent for both the short and longer term. Josh discusses his research model for identifying the best pure plays within the sector.

Investorideas.com Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?


A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.

Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people.

In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation.
This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.

Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits.

The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world.

Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start.

Q: Investorideas.com
You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?


A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment.
As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition.

It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand.


This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.
In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010!

With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!

Q: Investorideas.com
With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.
Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.
On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner.
There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company.

On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.

Q: Investorideas.com
Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale.
There a wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams.

In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more.
I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, I recently sold half of our position in one of these stocks to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.

Q: Investorideas.com
What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.

It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.
