As if there weren’t enough issues plaguing the world’s oil supply, hurricanes are now back on the list.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, six to nine storms could form in the Atlantic Ocean this season — at least of two of them major ones. That spells trouble for platforms and refineries in the Gulf.

Ay, Caramba! If it’s not one thing it’s another with these pesky fossil fuels. At what point do we say “enough is enough”? It’s high time the world kicked its oil and gas habit… and the way things are going, we soon might not have a choice.

But where there is pain, there is profit. The free market is good at solving problems for that very reason. Whoever figures out how to wean the world off oil will get very rich indeed — and some farsighted companies are preparing to do just that. Sally Limantour has the details, and some big profits in hand to prove her case. Read on to find out more.

Silicon Valley Titans Turn Oil Pain Into Billions

by Sally Limantour, Editor, Taipan

Crude oil trading above $130 a barrel has lots of folks tearing their hair out. But out west in Silicon Valley, the VC boys are grinning from ear to ear.

Why? Because they know that the world’s oil pain is their gain… to the tune of tens of billions in profits, or maybe even more.

Take John Doerr, for example. You may not have heard of this Silicon Valley titan, but in the world of venture capital he’s an investing legend. As a partner in one of the world’s top VC firms, Doerr amassed a huge fortune for himself with pre-IPO stakes in companies like Netscape, Amazon.com and Google.

Now Doerr is onto the next big thing: “cleantech,” which is shorthand for clean energy technology.

Doerr is convinced that opportunities in the cleantech space will be as lucrative as anything he’s seen before. (From the man who helped launch Netscape and Google, that’s really saying something.)

70% Gains for Starters

The good news is you don’t have to be an ultra-connected VC like Doerr to make a killing in cleantech. There are amazing opportunities here for regular investors like you and me.

Showing is better than telling, so just take a look at the following chart.

That’s the chart of a cleantech stock I recommended in the most recent issue of the Taipan newsletter. The company is a respected leader in a rapidly growing industry, with exciting technology and a $2 billion-plus market cap.

The pick was added to the Taipan portfolio as a patient investment buy. Little did we know that the very next earnings report would blow the roof off Wall Street’s expectations. Shortly after we got in, the stock soared by more than 70% in just weeks.

I’ll be advising my readers to take partial profits soon — that’s just good discipline when the profits come pouring in that quickly. But at the same time, this move is no flash in the pain. We’ll be holding at least half the position for major long-term gains, as this company and others like it show potential for 100%, 200% or even 500% to 1,000% returns over the next few years.
