Investments which may benefit from a Rudd win

[nioka]

There is a good chance now that Rudd will be the next PM. Labour policies will probably benefit some companies more than others. I have taken a position with renewable fuel companies which will benefit from the high oil price and could benefit from the renewable fuel and green house emission targets I believe the next government will set. More likely under Rudd than Costello.The ones I have chosen are ARW,AAE,ABJ and EDE.
Comments please.

Hi Nioka,

I agree that renewal fuel companies will be better off. I also feel that Telstra might be better under a Rudd Government. Its existing relationship with the Howard Government is very strained.
These are just my thoughts only.

Initally wind farms as it is the only available technology ready to go to achieve the targets set so quickly. Also Origin Energy seems to be getting a good reptuation for being pro-active in renewable energy.

Biodiesel and methanol are ready to go. People are affected by fuel each week. Electricity bills come only each quarter.

Re: Investments which may benefit from a Rudd wim

I Agree...a Rudd win will be a BIG positive for all green industry's.

The green industry's are a little like mining because theres
producers (make money) and prospectors (spend money)

The list of prospectors is long and varied mostly alt energy
the list of offset holders is short, mostly forestry and Gas/wind/power .

There are Company's that have claimable offsets already
on there books and as soon as Kyoto is ratified the offsets
are money.

I believe the following may have offsets...Please DYOR.

ENE Energy Developments
WLF Wilmot Forests
TIM Timbercorp
ANE Auspine

Re: Investments which may benefit from a Rudd wim

with a very real possibility of the greens holding the balance of power in the senate, and labor needing to deal with that, it is likely you can expect many policies needing a renewables, carbon, environmental facet attached to it.

another company to add to the list - NMS.....about to acquire "ross deeptech", an aberdeen based company who have runs on the board with a wave technology project in europe.

QAN will go ballistic if Rudd gets in.

The aussie dollar is stong from our pre-existing robust economy making fuel, the major input cost, cheaper.

Add to that the increased loading on passenger numbers leaving Australia, young workers, tradespeople and professionals who will flee to the US and Europe to escape recession.

Incoming passengers will increase as well. Pommie unionists and past it British Labour Party advisers and hangers on, gorging in business class, to take over from having lost their gravy train after the demise of Princess Tony Blair and the imminent loss of office by Labour in the UK.

Yes, QAN will benefit.

Re: Investments which may benefit from a Rudd wim

I disagree with the research stock doesnt hedge you against inflation.
if say you buy WOW .... if inflation is 5% I'm sure the majority of food and everyday needs will be up 5% and hence higher EPS for stocks like WOW
and hence higher stock price based on historic PE

 

[ithatheekret]

Well I've noticed the average shopping bill at WOW has gone up somewhere between 18-23% , depending on whether we are shopping for the vanillas or adding something extra into the cart at each shopathon . So they must be doing something wrong when inflation is 5% and they aren't pushing / achieving that margin expansion barrier . With that averaging as stated above , they should be scalping somewhere between 13-18% on top of any other profits related to inventories .

Looks like the share holder vote count for Westfarmers ( whose management I admire ) , was a lot of dear John letters . The Office works , well they need to do something innovative there ....... like acquire something that could blend in with regards to synergies , then it would be able to at least see true organic growth , instead of laying sectored . At present I see more growth ( def. not organic though ) in a utility . But I still have Wesfarmers as a standout in it sector .

The fact that a Labor government has already relaxed , in regards to mines number policies and raising restricted , shareholding capacities , would have to favour those sectors that came under the heading . That would have to favour the no brainers in relation to a further Labor win .


One that has synergies with another sectors dynamics is Australian Infrastructure Trust . The property combinations in its portfolio are very complimentary , traffic flows look to rise or at the very least remain constant , due mainly to the boom in mining it services , labor transport .
Along with that it will service the cheap seat flights , like Tiger etc.

Either Rudd's chances have decreased or the market doesn't agree with me. I'm down on all the four stocks I chose this morning. Come on Rudd. I need your help. Maybe it's the price of oil!

More likely the price of the grain feedstocks for milling into bio-diesel is currently too high and therefore too expensive here to make it a profitable enterprise. That situation isn't likely to change with the climate/weather outlook for the foreseeable future. Even AAE (Ethanol) is struggling....

We are only teensy-weensy, itty-bitty players in the emerging bio-fuel market and are therefore very vulnerable to the whims of world grain prices, unless our governents see fit to go crazy and subsidise MASSIVE plantings of the requisite feedstuffs to ensure a reasonably priced "bank" of the stuff (a bit like Americas crude & gasoline reserves). But even that approach probably wouldn't guarantee biofuels will be a success. There might be too many "unknown" variables in the climate/weather going forward to risk BIG investment money in producing crops for biofuels.

If the mining industry are happy that a Rudd government will not be anti mining and that Rudd can develop a good relationship with China There could be gains for some of the mining minnows in the event of a Labour victory. I still have hope for my alternative fuels investments and I'm still holding them.

Biodiesel and methanol are ready to go. People are affected by fuel each week. Electricity bills come only each quarter.

Ethanol yes,... biodiesel no,...

I would not invest in any company producing biodiesel in australia,... we just don't have the supplies of feed stocks (vegetable oil),

I do hold shares in a company building a biodiesel plant in the usa, though and they are eventually planning to build ethanol plants in australia,... but they are waiting for better goverment policies and the price of wheat to return to normal levels.

Wondering how many people here have actually read any parts of the Kyoto Treaty.

I have...long long time ago...i get the feeling that many posters don't really grasp what the implications are.
