Ain’t no one got a better gain than this, PBW options fools and yeah I’m down from 7000% gain since Thursday but everyone better get their tongues out for some options plays and run on sentences.

In a fit of optimism, I bought a bunch of "green" ETFs in 2021 at their heights - QCLN, ERTH, PBW, TAN. They have been recovering very very slowly and I sold off a bunch at a loss. My thinking was that either they would do great, which means less dependence on fossil fuels, or if they did poorly, it means our future is screwed. (Our future is screwed)
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
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
Don’t slander PBW like that /s Actually from what I understand he’s kind of an asshole.
I’m approaching my 40’s, live in the US, and have somewhat steady income. Back in the beginning of the Biden administration, I thought (like many others apparently) that green ETFs (ICLN, QCLN, TAN, PBW) would be good investments. Ironically, they did better under Trump 1, and I lost around 60% of my original investments over the course of the Biden administration. This was never money that I really needed, but I was hoping that this would sort of help with my retirement. I’ve been watching them slide and people have been telling me to hang onto them, but now we’re back with Trump, the EPA is being gutted, and I wish I had cut my losses way back. I would like to continue investing and supporting green energy, but I’m not sure that’s going to work out. I especially think I would like to dump the QCLN, which is about 7% TSLA, and I think TSLA is going to tank. So, I’m thinking about taking that QCLN, and possibly more, and pivoting to just solar, and specifically FSLR, which is in a dip. I read that solar has been having a great two years and is currently the fastest and cheapest way to power anything. I know the head of the EPA is boosting natural gas, and Trump hates wind, but he has said in the past that he “likes" solar. FSLN is US based and not Musk. I guess I’m just wondering if it makes sense to pivot, from QCLN and possibly those other holdings to FSLR and maybe other things in the green space that might endure Trump 2. Again, I don’t have an acute need for this money at the moment. It would be great if I could just have some extra padding on my retirement in 20 years or so.
I've been holding PBW C'mon in.. the water's fine..
If you want hands off, do as suggested with VOO. If you plan to be a bit more active, I would check a few key sectors such as XLE and PBW (clean energy) or TAN (solar). XLE has been going sideways forever and if you follow AI, one thing known is that AI acceleration will bottlenecked by energy consumption. Training AI takes a ton of energy (kind of like mining crypto). Clean energy is at prices it was at in like 2010, and is fairly quiet. So is TAN. I wouldn’t be surprised if AI significantly helps the efficiency of things like Solar, and also I already mentioned the energy needs coming .
I have chosen this company as well just because of all the brand name partnerships and they have the largest charging network in the world. They had a recent change of top level management and their financials don't look to good, burning cash for expansion. This is a forgotten sector, in my opinion, once rates get cut, hopefully a rotation back to clean energy. PBW follows this same chart pattern once the 200ma on the weekly converge with the 50ma then we should see a rocket ship to the moon. This needs to happen 6-8 months or this stock will end up with a reverse split and look like SPCE chart. Fallen angel indeed !!! Legooo $$$$$
Holy shit I'm bad at picking ETFs first Ark then this renewable energy fucking abomination PBW ... Bruh  seriously look at this thing it's a nightmare y'all should probably be shorting it
Dino energy sector had a great run and looks done. I own PBW but overall not a big energy sector fan in general.
As a current bad holder is certainly not $PBW or $ICLN
I'm on my second year of investing. Have been mainly putting monthly in ETFs and a few stocks. All doing fine except for this one ETF that I bought at the beginning, PBW. At the time I thought it would be a much slower growth than the rest, but I did expect growth. I am now incurring an unrealized 50% loss and I am not sure whether to just suck it up an realize the loss or wait if time will help. Also, can someone please explain the situation why PBW much lower now so that I can understand and at least get a lesson from it?
i could recommend basically anything, long medium short term options and investments as well. personally i’m looking to sell CLSK options simply because the premium is nice and there’s a relatively low risk. in terms of easy equity plays i really like PFE long term. also looking at WMT 4/19 puts but only if it goes up a little more. HE and PBW look like decent long term holds as well. i think cash secured puts on CLSK are sleeper picks. especially considering u have a good amount of cash on hand. with 50k you could easily make 2k a week off selling puts. not saying you’d put ur entire port towards that but it’s still a very good strategy to at least bring in some easy money
i know this is a gambling sub but PBW is a very nice value play, lowest it’s been in 5 years and has 3-5x potential
PBW trading at COVID lows  Could be a good hold for when the next wave of clean energy hype comes around.
PBW, cost basis is somewhere in the $60. I'm holding that bag forever
Agriculture has been beaten down this year and has yet to make new highs or even bounce back considerably. MOO and FTAG have very cheap holdings. WEAT is a commodity play that's similar Water as expressed in PHO has done very well but pricey valuation I think physical resources including minerals will do well in general. And emerging markets have already started their rise as dollar weakens and rates fall, some on the backs of their resource-rich economies. Some impressive runs this year: Mexico, India, Colombia, even Brazil I also like MJ. Long base made there. Longer the base, higher in space Broad green energy PBW with a lot of semi-shitcos (just unproven and not profitable) also not a bad play if small cap spec continues to rise in 2024 Finally, China. Shunned and spurned in 2023. Simply too cheap, even with risk factored in. KBA and KURE are the more pure-play China plays than KWEB IMO
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.
You're not wrong on your overall assessment, but while ARKK is down 43% over the past 24 months, it is up 83% in the past 12 months. I just checked SARK and it's down 57% in that time period. So ARKK may not be hopeless and it's definitely doing better than PBW over the past year.
That is Cathie Woods. Majority people got taken by her around 2020 dumped her. She makes multiple million dollars commission charge you 0.75% each time buying or selling. For ARKK there is SARK shorting everything she buys. I did very well for 1 plus years. I suspect they do not want to part their losses thinking they can recover or break even. Once one past the point of no return, it is better to at least reduce it and try a different strategy. PBW lost only -17.8% this year so it is less hopeless than others.
If you had $150k uninvested in an account, would you buy ARK funds, TAN or PBW? That’s all you need to ask yourself.
PBW and IWM were up all day today and didn't skip a beat.
PBW (Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF). Price skyrocketed to an insane level in late-2020/early-2021. Since then it has cratered as interest rates have gone up, making renewable energy developments harder to finance. Currently priced below pre-pandemic levels, and paying a solid yield (over 6%). It’s not hard to picture scenarios where it doubles or triples in a year and continues to rise steadily after that while also paying a decent dividend. The risk is that interest rates keep going up and the price falls further…
Clean energy funds like PBW seems oversold. It's now at covid lows. TAN isn't quite there but it's getting close.
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.
Any thoughts on Renewables? Just feel like they're getting beat up more than anything else. PBW, FCEL, BEPC, TAN etc... + name a renewable..
I'm getting destroyed on my PBW shares lol
It's the same chart as every other chart in the clean/solar/renewable energy space. Look at TAN and ICLN and PBW. Pandemic-related free money hype-based pump and dump.
Which means a bunch of people made money Just because you didn't doesn't mean it's garbage. Full disclosure I'm down 40% on $PBW and buy a share or two per month. Still think it'll make money just out of favor
You should start by looking the companies of the green energy ETF : * iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) * First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (FAN) * Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) * Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW) - Smaller companies
You're down on both. You bought at much higher prices and now that there is a sale you'd rather sell? Why did you buy so high earlier if you weren't willing to double down when it comes down lower. If you think we are going to need renewables in the future I can't think of a better time to buy them than a 50% off deal. If you think you were wrong and we won't need renewables in the future then sell But the fact the investment hasn't gone up shouldn't be a deciding factor imo Full disclosure I'm down 40% on $PBW and I buy once a month regardless of price.
tf happened to solar/clean energy stocks today? PBW is down 4% today for no specific reason as well as basically every other solar stock except sedg
TAN, QCLN and ICLN (maybe also including GRID, SMOG and PBW) are clean energy ETFs. They are among the bets performing ETFs for the past five years, tho very blah year to date. You could consider investig in them, or you could go through the holdings of all of them to discover dozens of green companies.
It’s really hard to cherry pick winners in a market that are still evolving, but I agree with you that if you go long-term, this is a great industry to invest in. I ended up deciding to use ETFs for Green Energy as I do not own the knowledge to really do “my research” effectively. I’ve been DCA the following ETFs since early 2022: PBW, QCLN and TAN
And VOO I would rotate into PBW. Clean energy etf
XBI (biotech), Clean energy (ICLN, PBW), Chinese Tech (KWEB) are a few others that got slammed
$PBW. Clean energy ETF that is down 70% from ATH.
https://etfdb.com/compare/highest-5-year-returns/no-leveraged/ TAN +213%, QCLN +190%, ICLN +123%, SMOG +100%, GRID +99%, LIT +99%, PBW +98% 7 of the top 17 non-leveraged ETFs for the past five years have been clean energy of some kind. TAN and QCLN are far ahead of the others. They all have decent volume except SMOG. There is decent overlap, but also uniqueness. TAN is strictly solar. QCLN has lithium and TSLA while ICLN does not. To get five, just don't include SMOG and PBW and you'll have a solid group of holdings.
>PBW 2022 = -44.43% >VBLAX 2022 = -29.79% >VTWAX 2022 = -19.75% And that doesn't even account for inflation. Welcome to investing!
PBW at some point will become too cheap and will be a good hold for 3-5 years.
Not an individual stock but I'm looking at buying PBW tomorrow. Just waiting on cash to clear. It's an ETF that tracks WilderHill Clean Energy Index. Super long on this position. Includes holdings in Sigma Lithium, ARRY, OLED, and ORA.
The three best performing non-leveraged ETFs for the past five years are all clean energy: TAN/+310%, QCLN/+262% and PBW/+177%. The fifth best is also clean energy, ICLN/+170%. TAN and QCLN are second and third for the past three years (after LIT/Lithium). While TAN and QCLN are only plus a small amount for the past year, that's still better than most stuff. Picking individuals stocks is lot more dicey. Clean renewable energy is a no brainer sure thing in the future. Which companies will dominate, that is a completely different question. Focus on the ETFs.
Good news, I'm active in the comments! * XME - Metals & Mining * XLE - Energy sector * PBW - Clean energy ​ Plays I'm watching for: * XOM - Nov 105C \~3.75 * CVX - Nov 180C \~4.00 * STLD Dec 90C under 7.50 * ATI Dec 35C \~2.25
The sector ETFs I mentioned? XME - Metals & Mining XLE - Energy sector PBW - Clean energy MOO - Agribusiness XLU - Utilities XLP - Consumer staples
PBW is much more diverse than ICLN. I couldn't find the other tickers this person mentioned.
I need clean energy to have a good year so PBW actually makes me some money
PBW flatlined at best through the 2010’s
If you want to invest in unprofitable tech, rather than investing in ARKK you can instead buy any number of passive ETFs which track the same sector and have similar performance, but with lower fees and aren't exposed to accidents of active management. It's clear that CW was just lucky with her positioning. Take a look at TAN and PBW, both passive ETFs which mirrored ARKK in its huge rise and fall. The whole sector was along for the ride, it wasn't Cathie's stock picks at all. One other thing: you don't have the make money the same way you lose it. In other words, would you buy in now if you were starting from scratch?
When is the best time to sell some or all of your holdings in a position when they are in the red? I know there are some tax benefits to selling at a loss, so how best do I take advantage of that? For example, I am considering cutting some or all of my deep red NUSI, PBW, MSOS, and IBUY to buy more Google. NUSI isn't down as much as the others (50% or more), so I might hold that one for the dividend at least, but I know that has tax consequences as well. Last year, I was going to owe taxes on my gains, but the woman that files my return used my student loan deduction to cancel it out. That deduction will only be around for another year, so while I won't make anywhere near what I made last year, I do wonder when is best to dump my losers. Thanks!
Since January, a little over 10% down on my NW. That’s after buying a home and losing in tech stocks (SQ, MTCH, RBLX, PBW the worst). But I’m including the fact that I’ve been contributing more of my income this whole time. My actual loss in stocks I already owned is probably closer to 20-25%
In no particular order POTX PBW QQQ SLLTF SMH SLNTF (60%)
As of close today, my only red tickers are: PBW 187 x shares (by a hair) TWLO 21 x shares (a thicker hair, -3%) TAN 10 x 01/20/2023 100C (-20%) YINN 50 x 03/25 6C (more hair, -4%) YINN 50 x 10/21 8C (-23%) RSX 25 x 1/19/24 19C (-24%) Everything else is green as a mofo. Collectively, the negatives account for 10% of my total assets. Roughly 20% in cash. And now I'm thinking about deep OTM ARKK/W calls... Somebody stop me.
PBW will see a healthy increase.
Thanks, Uranium suggestions? Uranium was hot during COVID but Germany yelling top of their lungs that they are closing all of their nuclear plants, and wind energy proliferating, got PBW, now holding the bag at 125. China and India going gung ho on coal, I was not too sure how it will play out, so sat on the sides.
TAN, ICLN, RNRG, PBW, FAN for ETFs.
Holy shit I lost **a lot** of money today. I feel like we're going to dump super fucking hard tomorrow but I'm really hoping that we have a surprise rally. ​ Also, why does PBW suck *so* badly?
Im looking at Investco Wilderhill Clean Energy ETF (PBW) if it dips, since it seems to be one of the most balanced across it's holdings. Also might add more Raytheon since apparently stinger missiles cost $7-8 million each, and come in sets of 2. One for actual use and one for testing. Palo Alto Networks for cybersecurity. (If anyone knows of a cybersecurity ETF that has a large amount of Palo Alto holdings, it would be great if you let us know) Microsoft due to how much the military relies on it, and also the fact that I noticed on one of the days where the market tanked, it was actually green. ANDE because it seems to perform the best out of the grain gang stocks I know of. (If theres a good grain gang ETF, it would be great to know too)
I thought they were a good idea too. Everyone did. ICLN, QCLN, TAN, and PBW got so much hype and people bought in, including me. I pulled out of all of those but at a loss. But thank God I’m not holding anymore
While PBW is down for the count
Yep, AMD, MSFT, and some of my individual clean energy stocks are still in double digit growth even with the massive drops from when I bought. Meanwhile I'm sitting looking at my ARKG and ARK innovation funds and ICLN / PBW ETs are down 45-60% from where I bought in. Meanwhile the fucking crypto I bought in April or May of last year is still triple the price I bought in (was almost 9x where I bought in). Starting to think I should never use ETFs anymore, but I did also buy DGLY when the push for body cameras being mandatory on police was going on...
I can’t believe PBW lately
SMH/SOXL TQQQ BUG PBW (More of a long term play)
I was in ICLN for a few years, but recently got out as I learned more about the green energy industry and the ETFs. ICLN focuses heavily on green energy utilities, which (IMO) is not as exciting as green tech innovation. An ETF I like more is ACES. It doesn't have the volume of ICLN, QCLN, TAN, or PBW but I like the portfolio a lot more — less focus on utility companies but also not way overweighting TSLA and not solely focused on solar. I also buy ENPH and STEM directly, to overweight on them. ENPH is the technological leader in solar inverters and I really like the hardware+software offering for energy storage offered by STEM.
ETFs are great! They allow you to control risk to an extent. Now go buy PBW.
Yeah, I do the same. It just eases my FOMO when I realize that the returns on that are going to probably be way more than enough for what I’ll need in retirement. One industry I invest in heavily right now is renewable energy. I realize that’s no big secret either, but if you read any bear thesis on EVs it’s that the electric grid infrastructure just can’t handle the transition to EVs right now. They are correct, so companies that can benefit from those investments should see great returns. I do a bit into PBD/PBW for that play.
On the chart tool, select one of your displays as "RelativeStrength" - then you click on the little gear, and you can select the security that you want to set as your baseline. Whatever your baseline is, it converts it to a flat line and then your security moves up or down in relation to that line. Usually I have it set to the SPX, but if I'm looking at a semiconductor/microchip company, I'll set it to SOXX, and I can see how the company compares to its ETF. For clean energy companies, setting it against PBW/ICLN, for lithium companies, setting it against $LIT, etc. It's a very handy tool, and before discovering it, I would spend lots of time creating a lesser version in Excel.
Are there any ETFs in this space that you could recommend? I'm using PBW, but I'm not very happy with them. It seems to me that a lot of the solar companies aren't actually profitable or innovative.
Find the tickers $PBW and $ACES using this link: https://etfdb.com/screener/#tab=holdings&sort_by=symbol&sort_direction=asc These two funds' holdings will show you a variety of individual stocks in clean energy that have different risk profiles and profitability dynamics.
Invest $6k into a Roth IRA in 1/3 QQQ, 1/3 ARKK & 1/3 PBW. Then set up $500/mo contributions into the Roth starting in January 27th and each month decide which of those funds to add to. If Cathy Wood retires or suffers a permanent brain injury, consider a different SMID innovation/tech fund. And get a better job so you can keep making the $500/mo Roth IRA contributions.
Yup. This is me, also with PBW, ARKK, ARKG, MSOS, and YOLO. The hype was strong - still holding, since long-term these sectors might play out.
just one, it's the stock that shall not be named™️ here though. lately it has been volitaile in trading sideways but I feel very comfortable in my investment with it still. I believe there is room for organic growth alone, but there are other contributing factors which may cause us to see the value spike for a short time - something I hope to capitalize on again as I did in January. as far as last year is concerned I was all in on PBW and PLUG, both of which I was fortunate to get out at the top of just as Biden was entering office. I saw that green energy was not very high on his agenda as I had hoped, and saw a much better opportunity with my current holding - a move I am very happy with having had made.
VTI total stock market is one. I like clean energy ETFs personally like PBW.
Anyone still investing in clean energy ETFs like PBW?
Hello, My parents live overseas and are not too knowledgeable about investing and finance in general. Taking into consideration the inflation rate over the last year, they gave me a sum of their savings to invest. Given that it's not my money, I decided to hire an Investment Advisor at RBC Dominion Securities. He's charging 1.6% or approximately 8k a year to manage a portfolio of stocks, ETFs (XEH, XIU, XLF, SPY, XFN, TAN, PBW) and mutual funds that are invested in Fixed Income. After 3 months, I've come to regret my decision for the following reasons: 1) The returns on the portfolio are mediocre - 0.82% as of today - Yes, the market has been volatile, but I've come to learn that cheaper options exist such as Questrade Portfolios or Robo Advisors. 2) I can't find a reason that justifies paying him 8k a year - I speak to him once every 2 months for 30 minutes and that's because I call him... 3) He's a bit of a condescending asshole. The Account disclosure documents states the following, 1) "if you close your Advisor Account within one year of opening, we will be entitled to charge you an early termination fee in amount equal to the difference between the total advisor account fee paid by you up to the date Your Advisor Account fee was closed." 2) For Advisor Accounts, you will maintain a minimum of 50,000. My questions are the following: 1) Based on the above account conditions and with the objective of reducing the IA fees, can I leave 50,000 in the account and transfer the rest of my assets to a brokerage such as Questrade ? Do you guys see an issue with doing this? After the one year, I would close the account and avoid paying the penalty. 2) Is paying an Investment Advisor based off AUM ever reasonable? 3) Can I transfer the Mutual Funds ? From reading the prospectuses of these Fixed Income Mutual Funds, it seems like they can be only offered through certain brokerages such as RBC DS. Do you guys know if Mutual funds can be transferred? 3) How do I go about telling this Investment Advisor that I will be transferring my assets? I have a habit of being too direct and don't want to start an issue that could eventually bite me in the ass. Apologies for this long post. Your advice and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
PBW, TAN, FAN, ACES, QCLN, ICLN. Please do your own DD though - I'm just some dude on the interweb :)
Not to be mean, but I'll be another person that calls that portfolio out as a major yikes. Like pretty much this entire portfolio can go, the market environment that was seen from November last year through mid-February (where almost everything fun was really popping) is probably not coming back. Well, maybe keep PBW, but everything else can go. You can believe in a theory, and don't have to go all in on it...in fact, the obviousness of Dems=green energy is likely why it failed.
Just make sure that, if you go this route, you look at stock picking as gambling, more than investing, and when you really invest, you go the indexing route. (Also, it should be said that I picked a stock and lost my $40 when it went to zero with bankruptcy, and intuitive surgical has been my absolute best performer. I also invested in the clean energy ETF, PBW, 15 years ago, it's up only like 10% after all of those years....I would've done better putting that money in a CD and a whole lot better had I put it in the S&P 500) Good luck, though.
I have small positions in MSOS, ICLN, PBW, ROOT, and MILE. All bought around the same time, at their peaks. I plan to leave them as it is. I do hate to see all red but it is what it is. Hopefully, I will break even eventually.
Tesla - Individual Stock LIT - EV Battery ETF TAN - Solar ETF PBW - Overall Green Energy ETF
PBW. With all the climate change hoopla I'm surprised it hasn't gained traction. But I'm not selling!
Just added ChargePoint to my watchlist. They’re the #1 leading charge station company in the U.S. I’m also in a leading clean energy ETF — PBW.
I strongly suggest investing that into multiple holdings, or even multiple ETFs. Some ideas: Visa, Synchrony, and SoFi. Visa and Synchrony are consumer spending giants, SoFi would be a more aggressive growth story. I think SoFi is a good speculative entrypoint - just took a big beating on earnings, but it was due to the cost of acquiring Galileo, for their online payment systems. The quality of the loans is on par with the major banks in terms of FICO score etc. NCR - Point of sales in stores, restaurants, etc. Still expanding into this market, not by any means the end of growth. BODY - just starting to research this one but they are the biggest online/digital fitness company with some big names in there among subsidiaries. They merged with OpenFit, which had already acquired Ladder, which was founded by LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzennegar as just one example of having big name promoters on their roster. But it is another typically-slaughtered SPAC with a lot of short sellers still riding it down, and really almost all the big SPACs have gotten fucked. Couple ideas I have small positions in. EDOC - US telemedicine. KURE - Chinese healthcare. Their per capita spending on aging population is below $1k, while the top 8 nations per capita spender are all above 6k. There's the clean energy ETFs: the main ones being PBW, ICLN, QCLN.
At what point does PBW look like a good buy again? I've been thinking about jumping back in for a while but worried it's just been held up by the covid stock craze. Not sure how I feel about some of the holdings though I'm bullish about renewables. Any thoughts?
