alternative energy

Gwhiz,

You seem to be interested in alternative energy and Uranium stocks. You should look at USU. In my opinion, it has the best potential to appreciate rapidly. The recent trend in uranium miners is very bullish

Read Buffett's chronicle of his operations with Sanford Map Co. Consider that he was no more than 28 years old when he arrived ( 1958 ) on the company's Board of Directors and was negotiating with the company's prior controlling family! I would love to have overheard THOSE conversations!

Park,
I wonder how Buffett's evaluation of Sanborn Map compared to what it cost to acquire . He said it would cost 10's of millions to duplicate their data.

Well, Buffett's letter states that Sanborn Map shares were selling at $110/sh in 1938 but only $45/sh in 1958, when Buffett was setting up his "control operations." He perceived that the market was undervaluing both the company's own portfolio holdings and the latent value of the company's map business if that business would only be brought more technologically up to date by action from a revamped Board of Directors. Buffett also wrote that Sanborn Map had been de facto controlled by the insurance companies that were its customers and who, therefore, wanted Sanborn to keep their prices for map subscriptions low.

If you're really interested in the renewables, the way to go is Biodiesel. These plants have HUGE returns and the by products of the processes from soybeans can be used as feed. Even more interesting is the use of algae for Biodiesel as algae has an extremely high convertible BTU content per pound of algae.
