A couple of weeks ago, one of those Fools, All-Star BlacknGold, tapped Renewable Energy as a particularly attractive growth pick:
The company has a current production capacity of 212 million gallons per year (mmgy) with another 135 mmgy under construction. Furthermore, [Renewable Energy] is building an impressive distribution network along the country's most important transportation hubs. ...
Wall Street struggles to maintain confidence in [Renewable Energy] for long, as the company is currently constantly tied to the government announcements of the [Renewable Fuel Standard Program]. ... Within the next year or two I see shares of [Renewable Energy] breaking out of their dependency on RFS2 catalysts (although they will certainly help) and appreciating to a much more realistic price that factors in growth, market reach, and feedstock advantages.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Renewable Energy may not be your top choice.
