Green Investing Is Tops in Silicon Valley
BusinessWeek
1 billion of those venture dollars, a 36% drop from the second quarter. Back in 2006, cleantech became the third-largest venture category, under biotech and software, and remained the third-largest in the latest quarter. That’s not to say that cleantech investing won’t be affected by the current financial crisis. Analysts with the Cleantech Group are expecting that in the next quarter later-stage green companies that need to raise a lot of capital—e. , to fund biofuel plants, solar thermal farms, or green car factories—could find trouble. Tesla Motors has already been unable to raise a planned $100 million financing round on the terms it wanted and turned to an internal round of $40 million, with Tesla CEO Musk carrying half the load.

Investing pros on prowl for stock bargains
Chicago Tribune, United States
The fierce bear market has treated many stock mutual fund managers to losses of more than 30 percent, and those who had gone bargain-hunting before have paid the price for being too early. Still, the four local fund managers that the Tribune has been following this year are buying nevertheless. They don’t pretend to know whether the market has hit bottom or not, and they think many companies will struggle during a rough recession. But they have a difficult time envisioning a scenario in which they won’t eventually be rewarded if they are careful bargain-hunters now. None is more sure of that than John Rogers.
Don’t Let This Derail Your Investing
Motley Fool
First, from now until 2010, you’ll be making comparisons against an ever-increasing historical number from the late-’90s boom — a boom that we now know was completely unsustainable. That’s no comfort if you made regular investments when the S&P was 50% or more above where it is now — but it helps put the current losses into context. More importantly, though, investing is about looking forward. Regardless of what happened in the past, the prospects for businesses going forward are what’s important in making investing decisions today. The fundamental question you have to ask yourself is whether you believe that all of the media hype about the possible end of the financial world is actually going to prove true. If you do, then you can feel absolutely justified in dumping everything and moving to cash — or buying shares of your favorite.
