4 years ago I thought clean energy would be a big winner and took a 1/3 loss on ICLN lol
I'm at least not in at ATH numbers. I'm in TAN pretty early but its success made me grab ICLN too and that's down almost 50%. Just wish I'd dumped them when they were modest profits and moved that money into VOO.
Senator Carter acquired ICLN end of March. Look at the 2020 chart (election year) maybe??
Cool maybe my TAN and ICLN can finally pop enough again for me to sell them and move that money to something more consistent.
Hi all, this is an old account that my father opened and bought a bunch of random ETFs and stocks. I am trying to consolidate and group these investments given that there is a lot of overlap here. Any advice is appreciated. Goal here is to have few diverse ETFs that can spend time in the market and grow slowly and steadily. XEQT and VT are preferred. He would like some exposure to international markets and possibly other ways to hedge against risk, but not totally conservative. Let's call it 7/10 risk level, if that's a thing. TEC ~7% RIVN ~7.4% QQQ ~11% ICLN ~ 5.1% FCUQ ~7.2% ETHI ~9.1% XEQT ~6% VTI ~15.3% VT ~15% VGG ~5.2% VFV ~6.6% VEQT ~6.1%

Commodities mix in my opinion... some TAN / ICLN etf, World ETF, and China exposure... good luck... haha
I deleted it because I got so much backlash—comments, downvotes, you name it. So, I figured I was probably in the wrong group. They even made fun of me, asking, 'What's your YTD PNL in 2023?' Anyway, I just posted that for fun... but surely, I'll never share any technical analysis again. My buys today are UNG, TAN, ICLN, and LIT. Just for fun, small positions.
ICLN might be close to what you're looking for. It exposes itself to global clean energy companies. It sounds like offshore wind and ocean are included, but not what it focuses on exclusively. Here is a link to the ETF product page. https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239738/ishares-global-clean-energy-etf Note: I make no claims that it is a "good investment". In fact, I was invested in it at one point and lost money on it. I'm merely parroting the iShares product page.
You probably should. But do so wisely. Understand the dynamics. ARKK for example is a very poor performing actively-managed fund. I’d recommend: BUG/IHAK for cybersecurity XSD/SMH/SOXX for semiconductors IHI for medical devices/medtech FTEC for broad tech obviously the QQQ is a good catch-all ICLN if you’re feelin lucky but I think it’s pretty risky, less so down here Just understand that there will be huge drawdowns in all of these. Also maybe don’t buy peak enthusiasm like now.
In Jan 2021, I bought $ICLN in anticipation of Biden's agenda on the climate.
ICLN put leaps are free money
I'm hoovering up ICLN because most of the big tech companies are committed to buying green energy to power their incomprehensively massive electricity needs.
> ICLN Interest rates are still high and will remain high. when rates start lowering you will start seeing massive returns in clean tech
Not explode, but I expected ICLN to at least be positive by now with all the infrastructure proposals. It’ll be the first cut for my tax losses

Clean energy bubble happened 2 times and popped twice. Last time was 2021, check ICLN
Going out on a limb—ICLN is pretty painful too.
Im long SEDG, war or not, and I’ll ride the ICLN until it derails
30's, about 50k invested and still very much wealth building. 40% QQQM 15% SMH 15% IHI 15% BEPC/ICLN (haven't decided how I want to split or if I want to split) 5% WM 5% JPM 5% MP
Those are all solid companies, with LLY/NVO/VRTX being very different in type and circumstances from DIS/CMCSA, so interesting choices. KLAC is nothing but a money machines for the longterm. Renewable energy stocks have a bright future but the present is not so good because they usually rely on borrowing money, which is terrible when interest rates are high. Consider ETFs like TAN, GRID, QCLN and ICLN in the future but avoid them now. Also, instead of individual stock picking, consider establishing base positions with broad market or industry ETFs rather than only pick stocks.
Oh no you have ICLN?!? I sold that trash it’s not a good etf to hold.
Buy only profitable companies. And that are undervalued. Sounds simple? Don't buy semiconductors at this level. The train has already left the station. Take a look at Swatch, for example, or Porsche for cars. Or Nestlé for consumer goods. These are huge companies, profitable but oversold. Ditto for BABA, China, FXI KWEB, ... A risky but promising bet is a solar-powered etf (TAN or ICLN). Good luck. And have a strategy. When take profit, which levels, etc.
I was on this sub long ago when people thought you were insane for not buying TSLA, ARKK, ARKG, NIO, ICLN, and other hype stocks. People were on here saying 50% in ARKK is “conservative” because it’s actively managed by Cathie and she’s the next Warren Buffett. Today ARKK: -70% ARKG: -73% TSLA: -55% NIO: -90% (funny story someone on this sub or the investing sub was calling me stupid for not buying NIO, apparently he went almost all in Spring 2021, he even set a reminder for 5 years to revisit my comment just to prove me wrong!) ICLN: -57%
ICLN what a load of crap, I remember bagholding that for so long and finally getting rid. Annoyingly I bought SQ at 55$ per share years and years ago and didn't sell. So when I finally sold last year it I barely made anything.
Check out FAN, TAN, ICLN?
*Speaking only to your clean energy investments*. Sell your clean energy stocks for single companies like PLUG and NIO. Put those funds into one of the clean energy index funds like ICLN. Don’t give up on clean energy but there is no way to know what company will be the champion or even what technology will be the most lucrative (hydrogen, batteries, solar, biofuels). The future will adopt some variety of technologies to replace fossil fuels but it will be a slow process and might not make much money at first. To minimize your risk, stick to the index funds here.
I think it will continue to be a leader in EVs, but I do think there will be more competition and without further support and addressing of some of the issues (higher insurance costs, 7.5B allocated to building chargers in 2021 has resulted in ... one charger, etc) you're getting to the point where a lot of people who want an EV have one. They will still absolutely sell, but I do think that the growth could slow. And I don't want to get political but in December of 2020 you had people piling into the ICLN etf thinking that it would be easy money. It's down about 58% since the inaguration in 2021. For all the push for EVs and green, most - not all, but many - haven't done well. The charging infrastructure push hasn't happened and given stories like this (https://www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1187224861/electric-vehicles-evs-cars-chargers-charging-energy-secretary-jennifer-granholm) it's hard to be that confident. If - and this is an if, before people get upset - Trump wins, people invested in green have to be aware of the real possibility that it will definitely not get the same level of support (and really, the support by the current administration already leaves something to be desired.) This doesn't even get into the idea that we are likely going to a more normalized interest rate environment; maybe it won't be the recent highs but we aren't likely going back to the lows. Green consumer products are heavily dependent on rates - Musk complained late last year, ENPH was one of the worst performers for most of 2023 on rate fears. ENPH basically mooned in the last couple of months of 2023 on hopes of rate cuts, only to reverse and lose almost 20% YTD the moment rates started heading back up. So I think that the tailwind that you had with ultra low rates isn't there. I'll say this: people are still putting too much faith imo that smaller companies can be "the next Tesla." I think that people are still underestimating the difficulty of the automobile industry (something that Musk has gone into countlessly including stories of how Tesla has avoided bankruptcy in the past) and putting too much faith in the fact that "EVs are green and green is good so therefore all these things should do well, right?" It's just not going to be the case as LCID loses 330,000 a car (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-06/ev-maker-lucid-s-338-000-loss-per-car-is-turning-investors-off) and FSR's production in 2023 comes in at about 20% of what the original SPAC presentation forecasted for 2023, among other things. There will be 0's. The next Tesla is Tesla - it just becomes a question of is it the same growth story in the next 5 years as it has been in the last 5? Does the growth start to slow without addressing some of the problems that are keeping people from moving to EVs and those who can and want one have in many cases already done so?
Hmmmmm ICLN or TAN probably a good long term play here?
I’d go with VTI or VOO plus one small/mid cap value fund; for example, AVUV. You could add QQQ or the ICLN after that.
There’s a lot of overlap with the ETFs, I’d just have VTI and that’s it. ICLN contains about 2/3 of TAN’s holdings, you could have both, it’s a gray area, if you did want to chop it down, go with ICLN, it has more of TAN than TAN has ICLN. I’d just go with ICLN to make it simple Chop it down to just VTI & ICLN
Remember the ARKK ARKG PLTR GME ICLN combo
Hi all, I am new to investing, and had previously only been using Acorns to do some micro-investing. Recently, I decided that I want to take a more active role in my financial future, and have been trying to learn more about investing (YouTube, colleagues, podcasts, etc.). So far: I have invested 3k into a vanguard target retirement fund (VFIFX). I have also begun invested \~2k into a 3-fund portfolio (VTI, VXUS, BND). I also own some small shares of ESGV, VOTE, ICLN, PSIL, MNMD & CYBN. My question is: is it wise to be investing into these two types of futures? Do they overlap? I have been learning more about the Boglehead approach, but also have heard good things about the Vanguard target funds. I appreciate any and all insight! Thanks!
Current Holdings Vanguard VTI 31% Vanguard VXUS 15% Vanguard VNQ 15% iShares TIP 15% GLD 10% Vanguard BND 10% iShares ICLN 4% What do yall think? Saving for retirement but gonna start looking to grow alittle more aggressively if possible soon.
>ICLN 3 Years later, ICLN has gone from $10 to $15 per share. Didn't beat the S&P though.
ICLN will be back. You should be looking at it on a 15+ year timeline.
Most ICLN companies being rates sensitive has been on the decline while the rates kept rising but looks like it's making a comeback. It has already started beating the S&P 500 last month and bound to keep on rising at a faster pace if the rates continue to come down next year. ​ https://preview.redd.it/qi6dn408z89c1.png?width=1276&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3345f839df4de5a5d736b8547c0c884cfcf7c55
Most clean energy companies are rates sensitive and ICLN the largest clean energt ETF was on the decline while the rates kept rising but looks like it's about to make a comeback. It has already started beating the S&P 500 last month and it is bound to keep on rising at a faster pace if the rates continue to come down next year. ​ https://preview.redd.it/t7veh5ikx89c1.png?width=1276&format=png&auto=webp&s=48c7ae49ce485fd5e91d25943a9b25dd225fbb1d
Once both SOXX and ICLN were among the top ten performing ETFs but with most ICLN companies being rates sensitive it was in the decline while the rates kept rising but looks like it's about to make a comeback. It has already started beating the S&P 500 last month and it is bound keep on rising at a faster pace if the rates continue to come down next year. ​ https://preview.redd.it/ksy8egftw89c1.png?width=1276&format=png&auto=webp&s=956dffd64b82620c64a0b5d5627f9bf2572d5c2e
dude if we knew what direction things were going up or down, we'd be rich. ​ I bought ICLN cause Biden came to office, did ICLN turn out?
I sold ICLN a few months back for a small profit, but my PBW investment (renewables) tanked hard and I sold pretty much all of it for tax loss harvesting reasons a couple of weeks back.
SPWR -86% (but I cashed out 2021 so probably break even) SLDP -77% MVST -75% MAXN -67% ARKK -60% VWDRY -18% F -18% ICLN -26.14% FAN -13% TAN -7% GBTC -6% Total -53% average on my individual stock picks, -10% on ETF picks. You can probably pick up on a theme... investing in clean energy (losers) and hail mary battery tech startups while big oil is squeezing out record profits. Anyhow, lesson learned! Not too painful since I'm still in my twenties, could have been worse!
What? Quite the opposite - as interest rates are cut solar projects become economically viable again. As seen in the massive rally in ENPH, SEDG, and ICLN overall in the past 2 months.
I own ENPH, added a little near the bottom but a lot of green energy has has been disappointing in the last few years. Yes, higher rates were a big headwind but you had 7.5B alloted to EV chargers and two years later, one has been built. You have what's going on in California with solar. It's an industry that is going to require government support and for all the talk about green, I just feel like for all the talk, the level of support needed hasn't been there. Before even the issue of high rates, anyone piling into the ICLN etf at the end of 2020 thinking that it was a "sure thing" - it peaked in January of that year and is down around 50% since.
I pray for ICLN that shit is down almost 50% for me
how do premarket “fuck up” prices happen? Like right now ICLN is showing up as +20% premarket (which im certain is a glitch) before ittl go back to like +-1%. Ive seen this happen on other tickers before. How does that happen?
my ICLN bag I bought 2 weeks ago at 14.5 just about broke even lol. What a fucking swing.😎 Still woulda been better in any of the standard indices over that time tho 🥸
idk what jpow said but my ICLN bag is a lot lighter
You need to put them in DIFFERENT baskets. I put in VTI, VOO, VXF, VXUS for a conservative approach and in SOXX and ICLN to get exponential returns when market is bullish and rebalance accordingly since the later two fluctuates like crazy. Sell when they are high and buy when they are low.
I'm long ICLN but that has not been a great play thus far for me.
ICLN and SOXX - both are ETS but when they go up they sky rocket to the moon
I've never heard of them! But I see they have followed a similar trend this past year with companies like first solar. I bought in pretty heavy (for me anyway ) last week into ICLN, the etf, to try to ride a wave of clean energy going up next year. SEDG is in that one of the top ten holdings! So I own some!
looking to turn part of my inheritance into a meme etf portfolio. Im thinking… 1/3 ICLN 1/6 MSOS 1/6 ARKK Need one (or two) other holdings (preferably etfs) to get into some volatility. One for 1/3 or two for each 1/6. Got any good ones? Id love a biotech startup etf (only holds startups that have been listed for max 6 months would be a funny concept)
You can easily look at these investments and how that played out. This same thing happened in 2008(ish) era. Look at ICLN’s performance right after the fund was created.
Some ETFs that are not heavily exposed to the tech sector include: * ICLN, a global clean energy ETF. * RXD, which dives into the healthcare sector. * BIS for added exposure to the biotechnology sector. * VXUS for international exposure of stocks in a diversified manner.
i recommend looking into $VGT, $VHT, and $ICLN for exposure to tech, healthcare, and renewable energy. dollar-cost average into these ETFs, reinvest dividends, and hold for the long term. solid choices for a beginner like you. congrats on the job and good luck with your investments!
hey there! congrats on the job and getting into investing. vanguard's (VGT) for tech, (VHT) for healthcare, and (ICLN) for renewable energy are solid picks. consider a mix of (VTI) and (VXUS) for broader exposure. also, check out bogleheads for tips and resources. happy investing!
hey there, congrats on the full-time gig! for Vanguard ETFs, consider (VGT) for tech, (VHT) for healthcare, and (ICLN) for renewable energy. mix it up and keep investing for the long haul. happy investing!

Nice job man, making those Wall Street fat cats squeal. Hope you let mom get a cut of the profits after her ICLN sacrifice!
iShares ICLN clean energy ETF is the lowest in 3 years but is up 8% in just one day today. Is it about to take off again? Historically it has been fluctuating like crazy.
ICLN fluctuates very rapidly and could probably be the best bet for this strategy
I would dump the ARK funds, Vz, Pypl, and ICLN.
Although ICLN went downwards for a while after Biden was elected.
The meme craze on ICLN and PBW totally screwed up how those ETFs should have performed over the last 4 years. PBW has been nothing but a money hole, even while trying to cost dollar average downwards. Luckily I only had a few shares in it.
ICLN is -30% YTD, which clean energy ETFs have done just fine?
Thought similar of TAN and got more Friday… I’ve had TAN & ICLN in portfolio for years, they’re down rn but I’m happy over long run
ICLN is a renewable energy ETF. I buy it each month partially because I'm in the industry, but the value has fluctuated a bit in the last year. Currently around $13/share.
Nuclear. Do we need renewables? Yes, but they aren't where the money is at. They're very expensive to build and guess what, building and operating them requires fossil fuels! Nuclear is the only actually clean energy, other than that pesky nuclear waste... Lol I'm long uranium, UUUU, DNN, URNM, and CCJ They've had a good run recently though, but there's absolutely no way they go back to prepandemic levels... unless there's a disaster worse than Chernobyl. I gave up on ICLN after only losing money. I'd buy a little now and wait, then buy more. Also though, I'm kinda an idiot so good luck!
The best clean energy ETFs are TAN, QCLN and ICLN. They should all have a great future.... but not this year or next with interest rates so high. These companies need to borrow and customers usually borrow too, so it is a terrible time for these companies. Put them on a watch list or buy one share, but even though they have a bright future, the next many months probably will send them lower so you can do better buying them later and using your money on something else in the meantime.
> with governments mandating them by targets, Good luck with that if things don't change considerably. This administration had a tremendous push for green, the peak for the ICLN etf was literally about the inauguration and it is down massively since. You'd have done better in the XLE. The UK is already pushing back mandates. Rates ramping and likely remaining higher for longer is starting to put even more pressure on the theme. I don''t want to be negative, but it's increasingly difficult to see how this theme isn't decelerating for the foreseeable future. When is there a more sizable push to build infrastructure? If success wasn't now in a very green-friendly administration, when? How many EV cos and other green companies go out of business first?
I just entered a long position in ICLN earlier this week ENPH will be above $178 by October 2024
Long: ICLN UNG WEAT PHYS weekly DCA small positions and average in
Shills were pushing ICLN right before Biden was elected..... I expect the shills to try again because it has room to fall further.
All solar/green energy stocks are getting destroyed except Tesla for some reason. To be fair most are garbage and unprofitable along with trading at insane valuations due to the hype of 2021. They gained a lot of traction due to the exuberance in the market and people were just buying cause of the story and not the fundamentals and this was the result. Enphase (ENPH): -64.39% ytd Plug Power (PLUG): -49.72% ytd iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN): -33.45% ytd Invesco Solar ETF (TAN): -41.54% ytd This is just the few I can name off the top of my head cause these picks were really popular on during 2021.
Hold I just entered a long position in ICLN
