Oil price running up: tragedy or opportunity?

Every day, if you switch on television or open newspapers, you can hear the same news: new oil price record. Old record breaks down!
If you have to full you car or take a plan, with the extra charges for fuel you are looking at this running up as a tragedy.

The point is that, as in everything, in every bad thing there is a big opportunity.

In this case the oil crisis could be seen as an opportunity to push with alternative energies, clear energy that could became more and more interesting fore the price comparison with oil and oil derivatives prices. This means a great advantage for planet because these alternatives sources are normally less polluting and, for people who will be able to surf the wave of alternative energies stocks identifying the best companies operating in this sector, a niche of investment market where you can look at hoping to find out big opportunity of return.

Looking at energy sector I have found out four companies to invest my money, money of Value Finance portfolio. These companies cover three different step of the evolution of this sector, or at least, the three steps I think will characterise next years:

1 old model based company. I have looked around in order to find out an old company with great tradition in this fields, with long success track made of dividends, strong management and good year by year return: the old winner.
2 in very next years I am sure there will be a source of energy, already known but not very clear and removable, that will be the reference all over the world because it is alternative to oil and with less pollution; I have chosen the best player worldwide in this niche of energy sector: the next winner.
3 between all alternative energy I have found out which, according to my ideas, hopes and analysis will guarantees the highest margin of return on investment and large market improvement; I have identified two future energy champions.
