It’s wild, wild times, bro. Every time I get out though I regret sitting on the sidelines because it just never slows down. I am personally investing in ETFs in things that are going to be absolutely needed in the future. So, some of my ETFs include: URA, NLR, COPX, ICLN. They are long plays for me so I am not really worried about short term. However, my long plays investments that have really take off ever since the recent trip to the moon are the NASA ETF and I was also invested in VOYG and LUNR. Damn if I was a bigger risk taker and had put more in those two I would be have serious bank right now!!
I went all in on long ICLN calls. Hopefully can recoup some of my loses from being a foolish options trader.
ICLN seems to go up everyday now.
Going long on green energy. Specifically ICLN. Wish me luck.
Not buying ICLN after the tariffpocalypse was a massive fumble. I'm just not comfortable seeing green in my port
ICLN getting close to 2021 high, maybe we do need energy to make semiconductors after all
ICLN rocking, I should have bet on the strait never opening
Dude. I bought ICLN 20 years ago based on same thesis. No growth. I hope things change soon.
Just FYI, might be too late to jump in. If the Iran war resolves, oil crashes and so does green energy in the short term. That said, I bought into ICLN as a long term investment, and my thesis is that green energy is inevitable, so it might be worth it anyway.
ICLN is literally keeping my growth portfolio afloat because green energy is pumping while oil is expensive. I don't know what you mean by "the market hates solar". I'd be investing more into green energy if it wasn't so damn expensive right now, and also if I didn't expect interest rates to rise.
QCLN ICLN Just a quick friendly reminder.
I'm feeling a second wave of global clean energy taking off after all these oil shenanigans. Thinking of dumping my failed PATH and just moving it all into ICLN.
Hi, there aren’t really “charity ETFs.” FHLC is just healthcare exposure, not impact investing. For dividends + quality tilt, VIG or NOBL are solid. For ESG exposure, ESGV or DSI; ICLN for clean energy. Most people combine dividend ETFs with direct donations for actual impact.

Is ICLN clean energy ETF a good investment if the strait is gonna be fuk forever?
I’m holding huge bags on ICLN. I would stay away from renewables.
Look into ETFs; QCLN & ICLN first
Fun watching my ICLN shares dump on this
after the cash crunch of this crisis, every part of the world that comes out free of fascist authoritarian regimes will go hard into green energy. in 6-18 months, TAN, FAN, ICLN will be the plays.
I bought some PAVE, GRID, ICLN, SHLD, ITA, CHAT, CIBR, VOO VXUS, EMET and XME. I think that most of these (besides VXUS and VOO for portfolio stability and diversification) ETFs are in the fields that will see large growth in next 5 year window (and probably beyond). Also bought (and sold lol) VCX. It’s a private equity fund that has some interesting private holdings but took profits at $510, 1800% run up in a week is nuts.
Makes sense. solar’s an exciting space but also easy to get carried away with the narrative. The tricky part is a lot of that upside is already priced in, and returns depend heavily on policy, rates, and execution—not just demand growth. ETFs like ICLN give you broad exposure, while names like FSLR are more about timing and conviction. If it’s “long shot” capital, just size it assuming volatility curious what your time horizon is here.
You mean the ICLN that's up over 50% the past year? That bust?
Renewable investments have come and gone before on these types of events. The technology is not here yet, it just sounds good. I fired my PM when he put a chunk of money in ICLN. Glad I did, it lost over 30%.
If by no brainer you mean you’d have to have no brain to invest in it, then yes!!! I invested in ICLN in 2020 when it seemed like there was going to be a big push for renewables. Major bust. Scarcity drives market prices up and renewables aren’t scarce…they’re renewable. I wish there was a market for renewable energy because I truly believe that’s what the world needs, but oil just has a strangle hold on the market as it is and this war isn’t going to change that.
When I first started putting money into my Roth in 2020 I started positions in TAN, PBW, FAN, ICLN. Those positions were high and mighty when Biden was first elected, perhaps in anticipation for the green new deal. Most of my positions are still green (TAN isn’t, but has been doing better recently) but if I was to approach this again, I might’ve just picked a few companies I felt confident in and/or sell on highs. I believed (and still do in some senses) that green energy would be inevitable, and value in these sorts of ETFs would have a generally upward momentum year by year. Maybe if the US elects another Democrat with “green” intentions these ETFs will get a nice boost again, but I might close out my positions at that point. I don’t think either side of the aisle is taking climate change seriously enough, and especially Republicans although of course politics is just one influencing factor here. But generally I’d be afraid of another move back into the red on year long scales and either would want to manage this more closely, or invest in areas I’m feeling more confident
I invested in ICLN in 2020 when Biden was elected and it lost 30% of its value
Random ICLN plug Early bird gets the worm
VFTAX and ESGV are definitely ESG-lite since they mostly just use exclusionary screening to remove things like tobacco and fossil fuels while keeping a massive 38 percent weight in tech. If you want something that feels objectively good for the world you should look into thematic impact funds like ICLN for clean energy or SDG for global sustainable goals. These funds move away from big tech and focus on companies deriving revenue from real world solutions. I used trylattice to cross reference your concern and it is perfect for catching things in stock filings that reveal greenwashing or heavy tech concentration.
ICLN is up like 1% in a day while everything else is red. People are definitely more interested in green energy as a result of the Iran war.
>was looking at something like 60% CSPX, 25% VWRP and 15% EQQQ. VWRP already either fully or nearly fully holds CSPX. Almost all of EQQQ is inside CSPX (and therefore VWRP). Why do you plan to buy some companies 3x, others 2x, and others (US extended market and ex-US) only 1x? >I’ve been wondering how people usually balance ETFs with individual stocks. For example, putting some money into specific sectors or companies when opportunities come up (like defence companies with everything going on globally). I'd be careful with this. Things don't always work out how people would expect (such as ICLN, a green energy ETF, doing better under Trump 1 than under Biden, even though Biden could easily be seen as more friendly to green energy). >I’ve also seen a lot of people talk about dividend investing but I don’t fully understand how that works yet or whether it’s something people focus on later rather than early on. Dividends are part of the total returns, they aren't free money as the share price drops by the distribution amount. A $100 share would become a $98 share + $2 dividend, since the stock or fund is no longer trading with that value built in (the adjustment will come a bit before the dividend being paid out once the information of "who to pay the dividend to" is recorded).
The main issue, that relates to the “stock market” — for the Middle East conflict. Is the: (1)Strait of Hormuz disruption/(2)disruption to “original oil flow”. Oil prices + gasoline prices + diesel prices = going up dramatically. Everything becoming more expensive — because the US majorly relies on the STRAIT OF HORMUZ. Lots of volatility in the future. In the long run, perhaps at a much quicker rate, you will probably see: (1)”old industries dying”, and being replaced by “newer industries”. ->OLD INDUSTRY: oil industry — declining — US does not depend as heavily, on this industry. Because it means, relying heavily on “international shipping routes”. ->NEW INDUSTRY: renewable energy + electricity + etc. —> iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN). In one year: (54.38% capital application). https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ICLN/ —> 7 Best Energy ETFs to Buy Now The energy sector has outperformed strongly in the opening months of 2026 due to heightened geopolitical tensions. —> State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE). In one year: (31.62% capital appreciation). [100% energy sector] https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XLE/ Basically, you are just going to see, in the long run this: (1)old industry’s dying — being replaced by — (2)new industries. ->Many centuries ago: (1)the whaling industry was extremely profitable. Killing whales for: (1)a food source/(2)blubber — to convert to oil. But, to keep a constant supply of oil, you need a “constant supply of whales” — which is not happening. There will soon be the invention of the (first automobile + mass public adoption of the 1st automobile). You need a lot of (oil + gasoline + diesel) — for the mass public “to use automobiles”. The most effective way to meet this “public demand for more OIL + GASOLINE + DIESEL”. Oil wells + oil refineries + oil drilling + etc. ->As the previous part occurred, there was: (1)drastic decrease in “whaling expeditions”/(2)money was now mainly allocated to the — oil industry. ->Because of this Middle East war — involving the “Strait of Hormuz” — you are going to see the same thing. There will be a major public view shift, regarding “renewable energy sources”. OLD INDUSTRY: (Oil) — NEW INDUSTRY: (alternative energy sources). ->The major players, will just “switch sides though”. Oil giants — will just “switch over to ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES”. ->[United States] Strait of Hormuz = international shipping route, mainly for “oil”. Relies heavily on (international production). Relies very little on (domestic production). ->[United States] Renewable energy sources = possibly relies more on (domestic production).
And this is where we are talking apples and oranges. Think about what you just typed. >In any portfolio of many stocks, there are usually going to be winners and losers. If you find yourself in a situation where all of them were winners, then woohoo!!! Be happy and don't worry that you cant take advantage of tax loss harvesting!! I can rephrase your comment. If you're in an ETF that holds many stocks, the winners and losers are balanced by the management team to achieve the goal of steady growth, income or diversity. You don't have to worry about winners and losers, just the bottom line. You've given an example of 10 stocks where 7 are flat, 2 are up and 1 is a total loss. What you didn't give was an example where all 10 are winners? Or when all 10 are losers. In the end, owning individual stocks is more volatile than owning index funds. And often times, the gains are no better off. The fact that many stock owners use the argument of tax loss harvesting as a reason means they know they have losers. My last ETF loser was ICLN. I bought it going into the Biden 1st term because he was going to push clean energy programs. >But if you are like me and not all of them are winners..., **then you invest in a bunch of stocks hoping all of them will do well**, but after some time wind up with a mixture of winners and losers. You realize you just described and ETF?
as someone who pre biden election bought ICLN... I understand
True. Wonder if the inverse is happening now? ICLN is a good recommendation for OP since it is geographically and technologically diversified. Done well for me. Bulk of my purchases were in March & April 2025. Still buying on dips.
ICLN was run up massively in late 2020 because everyone thought Biden = "clean energy is free money." The inauguration was about the top.
That's true, but your average clean energy investment will probably do alright. If we look at ICLN which is pretty much the benchmark: 40% in utilities. Selling increasingly renewable electricity is going to be pretty stable for a long time, until prices start to drop. About 20% in components and other equipment, mainly solar trackers (11%) and inverters (4%). These should continue to do okay, are less exposed to changes in renewable technology and need regular replacement, but nonetheless more cyclical than utilities. 12% in solar manufacturers, which are the ones most likely to be pressured, largely selling a commodity and perform poorly, but may reap occasional windfall profits (like oil and gas). Also includes quite a few of the Chinese producers. 8% in wind turbine manufacturers. These are not amazing businesses but they do have geographic moats (each region produces its own as it is not cost effective to ship). Also some other things that might do well in there, like Ormat (geothermal 3%). Others like Fuel cells (Bloom energy particularly at 10%) perhaps not so much and more a function of the AI boom. So it's a balanced mix. Key risk is actually: what happens to 20% China (and greater underlying) exposure if there's conflict with US.
When ICLN is going up, we're practically Greta Thunberg. When WAR is going up, we're practically Oliver North. When 🥭 is doing 🌮, we're all just trying to profit from having a narcissistic mafia boss in steep mental decline running the world's largest economy and codes to the nuclear missiles.
ICLN pretty solid return since April 2025 good exposure to Bloom Energy
I think this what most others have said - definitely a high tide coming for infrastructure, energy build out, and all energy sources. I just wish some shop - maybe ARK - would launch a "Future Energy Innovation" ETF. It could still hold things like XOM, CVX, LNG, OKE etc but would also have sort of a best of IFRA, EINC, FUTY, FIDU, CTEC, ICLN. Kind of the next wave of energy infrastructure, which appears will be needed after AI gets incorporated into all aspects of business.
My take is with the AI build out it is gonna be all sources welcome for many years. Trying to pick companies all throughout the energy spectrum. I think maybe under the radar are some of the pipeline plays that while oil prices are relatively down still generate a lot of cash. Seems like there is space for a "Future Energy" ETF which could include XOM, CVX, or COP but also renewables, nuclear, battery storage, utilities and infrastructure - sort of the best of IFRA, FUTY, FIDU, CTEC, ICLN and EINC.
Ok, yeah I guess I must have seen that one before but kinda forgot about it, thanks. Very similar to ICLN which I don't own either. Just wish an ETF came out that was a thematic like "Future Energy" - then it could capture wind, solar, nuclear, and all the industrials associated with sort of the next wave of energy infrastructure - a bit late anyway - but something like the best of ICLN, FRNW, IFRA and NLR, which obviously would try to tie into the AI datacenter tailwind.
If you liked ICLN, check out NEP, PLUG, and BE. Big moves in wind, solar, and hydrogen coming next year.
Do you have ticker symbol for pure play solar ETFs? Closest I found (on my first search) was ICLN - but that has a lot of utility companies and other things that are not a play on solar sales and installation. I asked AI and they weren't very helpful I will look around a bit
Theres plenty plays to choose from, from top of my head PWR, STEM, NXXT, ICLN and so many more
I mess with these: ICLN broad exposure, AES for distribution and NXXT for microgrid exposure
Damn, ICLN is a ticker I haven’t seen in years…Going from a high of around 52$ in 2008 to around 17$ today is even crazier.
Not often I see European tickers on here. Pretty sure IQQH is ICLN in America.
So I'm doing ETFs, which don't drop as fast/much as stocks do. So they're easier to react to, AND less susceptible to 'revenge holding' the ticker "because it *has* to come back." They don't. So of course every day in your account your going to see the value of your LEAPS Calls. And hopefully your broker provides your Buy price there too. So it's easy to see if your Call is gaining or losing value. Once it starts losing value, I look at its chart: is it a blip, or a "rollover" where now the ticker is heading down? I look back 1 month, and if the ticker today is trading for what it was a month ago, I sell the position and move on. "Cut your losers and let your winners run." You have to be ruthless about that. Take a look at [this chart of ICLN rolling over.](https://imgur.com/a/aHLjOAx) It's the green line. (The other 3 are the ETFs I'm in right now.) It had been doing well, but then it leveled out and started going down. I was fading out of it last week, and got completely out on Friday. So that works, and is a pretty-concrete thing to look at that fits with my OCD. But I'm starting to think that a 2-week lookback might be better.

You're going to underperform the market. To overperform the market, you'd need VTI, QQQ, IOO and you can use spare charge on DFND and HACK. LIT and ICLN are terrible. Healthcare is a hit or a miss and has underperformed the market.
ICLN CNRG TAN PBW ACES QCLN EARTH all gonna boom, either we have a functioning climate or there won’t be a stock market, it s a safe bet unless God reverses all climate change and bad infrastructure to good infrastructure overnight
I remember NIO and the ICLN days, good times, nice green, and then it all goes away. Nio had price targets of 120+, solar stocks were going to boom, they got delisted.
so ICLN is a buy?
I only trade ETFs now because I've been burned too many times by individual stocks. And I trade them on 3-month momentum. My 3 current favorites (which along with GLD and TLT make up my whole portfolio) are: ICLN, SMH, XBI [This is what they look like](https://imgur.com/a/jebeFaQ) over the past 3 months. If they continue that average 9%/month rate for just the next month or two, capture it with the \~3x leverage of 80-90-delta LEAPS Calls. And when those taper off, find replacements.
> When we know everything is going red until December because Powell Nobody knows that or anything else in investing with 100% certainty. A favorite example in recent years was people pouring money into ICLN after the election in 2020 because they thought it was certain to be free money under Biden. Around the inauguration that January was the top - it's finally started to bounce years later, but it's still about half of where it was at the top.
"SPCE" Don't buy names just because they are part of a theme and/or have some sort of notable figure. Branson dumped a business on the public that was never going to sustain itself. He and Chamath sold a shit ton in the 30's. " BB" Meme stocks *at most* are trades. Related: the Blackberry movie was actually pretty decent. "USOI" Don't buy ETNs/commodity-specific ETFs. "ICLN" Everyone piled in in the couple of months before Biden took office thinking that green was free money and turned it into a mini bubble. The top was a week or so before the inauguration. Then higher rates and other issues resulted in it cratering further. IMO: ICLN has had a good year and I'd consider keeping that as a supporting player but not a huge position. The others I'd absolutely dump.
ICLN is up 59% YTD so it doesn’t seem to be completely festering away. Taking a look at the SPCE chart is wild. It spiked above $1000 in Jan 2021, dipped down to around $300 in May, and then shot back to above $1000 in July. It’s now at $4.
ICLN has been slowly gaining ground back.
Sounds like you've made a lot of progress, and I'm glad my trading plan fit with other things you've heard and thought. Once you started looking at ETFs it was eye-opening, wasn't it? If we can find those ones doing 30, 40, 50% per quarter and ride them for a month or two of that, then we ought to be able scalp some of that return ourselves. And then the leverage of LEAPS Calls makes them all the more worthwhile. Good for you starting to sell CCs! They're the simplest thing you can do with options, but few do them. They do have drawbacks when the stock runs too hard and they cap gains, but I like the dampening effect they have when the stock goes down. So read up on them more, and play with them more, but know that you literally can't lose money if you sell them above the Cost Basis of your stock. Yesterday I put on these 5 ETFs in my sister's rollover IRA, and today the same 5 in mine and my wife's: GLD TLT ICLN SMH XBI Gold and Treasuries will always be part of my accounts, then 3 ETFs chosen on momentum. 20% in each. As the momentum choices flatten and roll over, they'll be replaced with the current best ones.
Ah, I see now that I did promise to capture fills on all 3. In my mind it was only on XBI, because that was the one So-I-Fink had called out specifically. SMH & ICLN spreads were much tighter, and I was able to walk them in from the beneficial side of Midpoint also. When I've decided to buy, I just buy. I should wait for a down day at the very least, but I don't have the patience. I figure it all works out in the end.
Thanks for the update. I assume you didn't go for SMH and ICLN? Just trying to understand how one makes decisions when buying
True, but generally irrelevant. Here on the weekend the spreads are especially wide, but when the market opens Monday they'll tighten up some. And even if they're still wide, you generally get filled very near Midpoint. Whether it's the Market Makers being nice guys (ha!), or my brokerage (Schwab) giving me Best Fill, I'm usually filled within in a penny or two of Mid. In fact, I'll do an experiment for us: I'm going to buy 80-delta LEAPS Calls on these 3 ETFs Monday (SMH, ICLN, & XBI) and I'll take a screenshot of my orders, capturing the spreads in the shot, and then my fills. I'll post them here and we'll finally know whether wide spreads on thinly-trade tickers matter. RemindMe! 39 hours (Capture fills on SMH, ICLN, XBI)
Thank you! **SOXL** is triple-leveraged, as you probably know, so watch that dude closely. Those 3 in the screenshot above are the ones I'm going to put my sister's money in Monday, so I'm comfortable recommending them to anyone. But have you seen [how I screen ETFs on Barchart](https://imgur.com/a/screening-etfs-on-barchart-zLCc55F)? That's what I did today, and those 3 above (**ICLN**, **XBI**, **SMH**) are the ones I picked based on their smoothness. You can find "higher," but you won't find smoother over the past 3 months. Do you know how to calculate the leverage you're getting with LEAPS Calls? If you really think about the insane returns they offer, you'd be happy to 'settle' for smoother returns over **volatile** potentially-higher ones. Cheers!
Ethics is pretty subjective and it'll make investing pretty difficult and not very worthwhile. Check out ESGU, ESGV, ICLN, and TAN and see if they may fit what you're looking for.
I don't, really. But if OI is zero, and the AH Bid/Ask is 0.00/30, then I can't get a good fix on what the price of that option is going to be tomorrow when the market opens. (I'm looking at ICLN, specifically the 21Nov18.5C that I might want to sell as a CC.) But if I go out to the first LEAPS expiration, the 451DTE 15Jan27 expiration, there's plenty of liquidity there around 80-90-delta. And B/As are wide here AH, but I"m sure those will tighten up when the market's open. So yeah, maybe not zero in the places I'd want to buy or sell, but other than that I don't think about it. Because really, the Market Maker is there to make a market, whether you're buying or selling. So don't worry about getting stuck in an option you can't sell. At least it's never happened to me.
Why is no one talking about ICLN? It’s been on an uptrend for a while now.
If it’s a taxable brokerage, I’d go with VTI/VXUS and a percent of SHY (if you want to preserve capital and if you’re worried about market crash, go with GOVT). If you like a little spice in your life, leave a small % so you can play around with certain stocks. For me, I put a few in ICLN and PICK to name a few. My best pick so far was VSTM where I would’ve made sooo much if I’d just put in a lot of money. But I’m not that adventurous. 😂 I would also DCA.
I have some energy stocks and etfs as part of my portfolio, a mix of different sources of energy. GRID, ICLN, AMLP, VNOM, LNG, NEE and as a higher risk speculative play PROP.
Feeling great today which the ACB and TLRY climbs were stronger and would help SNDL too. ICLN and MTB are also treating me nicely. Really hoping the runs keep going.
Sometimes these moves happen without any major news—could be a combination of technical buying, fund flows into clean energy ETFs, or short-term market sentiment. ICLN and solar stocks can also react to broader green energy or policy optimism even without a specific headline. Worth keeping an eye on if it continues tomorrow.
Anyone here remember ICLN? Just realised I’m still bagholding shares in my isa. What a piece of shit
ICLN (iShares Global Clean Energy ETF) peaked in very early 2021, right around Biden's inauguration. https://testfol.io/?s=32wLGrDXBxM Be careful betting on what you'd expect to happen.
Sold my ICLN bags in my Roth today after watching it trade sideways for years… fuck it, moved over to some growth ETFs for longer term!
Ugh, ICLN wrecked me too...and was so good for a while. Hindsight is 20/20!

How do you look at ICLN's chart and think it's solid compared to the S&P 500?
How we feeling about money rotating back to renewables? ICLN up 14% YTD, FAN up 20%
ICLN quietly up 11% on the year. Will renewables finally turn around this year?
My cousin, a financial adviser from Edward Jones, some how convinced me to open a brokerage with them. First mistake. Then, he dumped everything into NIO and ICLN. He also threw me into some front loaded funds with 2 percent expense ratios. I’m down close to $100,000.
ICLN outperforms SP500 (2021). ARKK outperforms SP500 (2021). Famous words
I had planned on entering energy in July with a split between VDE and ICLN to have clean and unclean energy. Definitely need to pivot somehow.
I bought ICLN when Biden won in 2020, thinking it would make good gains over then coming 4 years. I sold it at a small loss in January. Is there an administration that's good for the green energy sector?
FWIW I just started but my most consistent winner this year has been ICLN, a global clean energy ETF. Not huge wins, but it's not as tied to US markets as the big ETFs. So it gives my portfolio both an ethical basis for investing and diversification. It's actually mitigated some short term losses. I also dumped IVV at just the right time (mostly dumb luck but I did stick my thumb in the wind on Monday and I didn't like what I felt) and moved into FGDL (responsibly sourced gold) to get a commodities position, which I think will be important as USD slides over the next ~year.
Fair question. Before COVID, my business was the only source of income for the household for about 20 years. But during COVID my income dropped by 80! The missus had to get a job, and now she has a 401k that's matched by her employer. Over the last 4 years my income improved, but not back to where it was. It was still enough, though, that she was able to put the maximum amount into her 401k. So even though we didn't quite say it like this, I guess we're treating her 401k more like the safe retirement, and mine is prepared to be a little more volatile. I wouldn't hate moving mine over to an index fund, honestly, but it's kinda hard to let go. I have some stocks that have made a killing (RCL has made over 500%!), so I'd hate to give those up. But about half of my portfolio has lost money (like YOLO and ICLN), and I hate to abandon them when they "could" bounce back. I'm pretty sure that we're going to continue seeing crashes over the next 4 years, though, so when the next big one happens I really might liquidate my portfolio and put it all in an index fund.
