If you’re looking to invest in the energy industry in a turnkey, diversified fashion, the stock market has no shortage of options available to you in the form of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Want to place your chips on “clean energy”? There’s an ETF for that — iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (Nasdaq: ICLN). Want strictly oil & gas exploration and production companies? You want the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSE: XOP).

A year and change ago, I recommended lithium-ion battery stock Enovix Corp. (Nasdaq: ENVX) as part of a special research report on renewable energy tech. The company specializes in small battery architecture, where it has carved out a comfortable niche. While many battery companies are hyperfocused on creating large-scale batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), Enovix’s main focus is on lithium-ion batteries for smartphones, laptops, industrial and medical devices, and wearable computers such as smartwatches and Internet of Things devices.

I have two research analysts supporting me. Two. They’re highly talented … but again, there are just two of them. We’re a three-person investment team here at Green Zone Fortunes. That may surprise you, given the depth and breadth of research we’re able to publish. Over the past few years, we’ve populated our Green Zone portfolio with more than two dozen stocks — everything from…

One of the quietest, yet most dominant investment themes I’m seeing play out this year is the deep value of foreign markets. Even at the lowest point (so far) of the bear market, U.S. stock valuations were priced at over 20 times earnings. Today, they’re closer to 25 times earnings. Both these figures are well over the historical average … and are primarily carried by the rich valuations of technology stocks. Most importantly though: U.S. stocks are twice as pricey as other developed economies.

Next week, I’m going to send you my latest recommendation for the Green Zone Fortunes model portfolio. I’m really excited about it … though my hunch is that somewhere between 5% and 50% of you will scoff, close the issue and never give the recommendation a second thought.
