Renewable Energy provide $7.7 trillion dollars Investment Opportunity

Renewable energy projects may account for as much as two-thirds of the $7.7 trillion in global investment for new power plants by 2030, as tighter emissions rules hamper fossil fuel facilities and solar and wind power costs continue to decline.

About $5.1 trillion of total power plant investment will be spent on renewables, including conventional hydropower, according to a report released Tuesday by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

About half of total pile — $2.5 trillion — will go to Asia, where new solar installations are likely to exceed gas and coal projects combined. Europe will account for $967 billion and the Americas $816 billion of investments in renewables. The Middle East and Africa will invest an additional $818 billion.

That could help the global carbon dioxide emissions to max out by the end of the next decade.

The report estimates that 5,000 gigawatts of power generation capacity will be added globally by 2030 — about four times the current amount of generating capacity in the United States.

Coal, gas and oil-fired power plants will account for only about one-fifth of new capacity, with most of that installed in developing countries where demand for electricity is highest. That will shrink fossil fuel’s share of power generation to 46 percent globally from 64 percent now.

Solar and wind power, on the other hand, will grow their combined share of power generation to 16 percent by 2030, up from 3 percent last year. The growth comes and the decreases costs of solar panel and wind turbine manufacturing, which has helped to make renewables projects more profitable.

BRICS - 2014

The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa agreed to launch the institutions to finance infrastructure projects and head off future economic crises.

The five emerging nations first unveiled their plans last year. The New Development Bank will mirror the Washington-based World Bank while the reserve is seen as a "mini-IMF".

The development bank will have initial capital of $50 billion that could rise to $100 billion, funded equally by each nation to avoid concerns that one country has more power than the other.

After drawn-out negotiations about the bank's location, BRICS leaders agreed to put its headquarters in Shanghai. The first president will be Indian while the first board chair will from Brazil.

India's Past - Present - Future

Are you surprised that 300 years ago, India's share in world trade was 25% and today it may be just 1%.

Or that in 1700s, India's economic position was 1st and UK's 10th, Or for that matter, a century ago, 1 rupees could get you 15 pounds.

What a pity that India, once a land of prosperity and high happiness index, is now a land of disparity and poverty quotients.

One can't laud enough the efforts of the Hari couple - for trying to bring back the pride for our motherland.

Limit What You Borrow - Invest your money

Living on credit cards and loans couldn't make you rich.

Warren Buffett has never borrowed a amount - not to invest, not for a mortgage.

He has gotten many heart-rendering letters from people who thought their borrowing was manageable but became overwhelmed by debt.

His advice:
Negotiate with creditors to pay what you can. Then, when you're debt-free, work on saving some money that you can use to invest.

Reinvest Your Profits

When you first make money in the stock market, you may be spend it. Don't. Instead, reinvest the profits.

Warren Buffett learned this early on. In high school, he and a pal bought a pinball machine to put in a barbershop.

With the money they earned, they bought more machines until they had eight in different shops. When the friends sold the venture,

Warren Buffett used the proceeds to buy stocks and to start another small business. By age 26, he'd earned $174,000 -- or $1.4 million in today's money.

Even a small sum can turn into great wealth.

R.I.P. Internet (1969-2014)

At only 45 years old, the Internet will be laid to rest in 2014. And Silicon Valley is thrilled.

Because they know,.........
The Economist believes the death of the Internet "will be transformative."

In fact, the CEO of Cisco Systems, one of the largest tech companies on the planet - says somebody's going to bank "14.4 trillion in profit from one concept only."

Investment Spirit from WB

In that spirit, I've selected four quotes from Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, that contain especially important lessons for the beginning investors.

Buffett, who started investing when he was 11 years old, has long been viewed as an investing duration, and he's one of the world's greatest investors.

He believes in buying great businesses and holding them for the long time, and his investing methodology has helped grow the share price of Berkshire Hathaway from just over $11 in 1962 to more than $193,000 today.

1. On the power of time

Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre.

In his 2001 letter to shareholders, Buffett wrote, "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out." Similarly, when times get tough, we can often recognize truly great businesses.

The challenge is to build a portfolio made up of the best companies! Great businesses can expand and grow for many years, rewarding investors in the process.

This is especially true for young investors who have many years to invest and reap the benefits of compounded returns.

2. On buying and holding

In fact, when we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.

We are just the opposite of those who hurry to sell and book profits when companies perform well but who hang on to businesses that disappoint.

3. On looking to the future

Focus your investing energies on identifying quality businesses of which you would like to be a co-owner for many years.

4. On keeping your cool and avoiding the herd

These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now.

Warren Buffett THOUGHTS

There are times when doing nothing is a sign of investing brilliance.

If you don’t know jewelry,know the jeweler.

Think 10 years, rather than 10 minutes.

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

Our favourite holding period is forever.

Rule No 1: Never lose money.
Rule No 2: Never forget rule No 1.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.

Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.

We believe that according the name “investors” to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a “romantic”.

Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

Skill, which require for be Successful Investor

Theory, all that is required to be a successful investor is to know when to buy, when to sell and, most importantly, how much to wager.

The tongue-in- cheek advice to “buy low, sell high’’ given to every trainee trader perfectly encapsulates the theory as well as the practical difficulty.

The short half-life of traders shows that not everyone can follow the advice.
The reason why it is hard to put theory into practice is that we are not the rational calculating machines so beloved of academics.

The buyer believes prices will rise while the seller believes the opposite; both can’t be right

Warren Buffett's advice for Youth

The message is that once you have bought a good asset, you should hold it for the long term.

There will be economic and business cycles in between but a good asset, bought at a reasonable valuation, will give you good returns in the long run.

Buffet further says that if you are a non-professional and cannot pick stocks, you still have an option of investing in stocks. All you need is a diversified portfolio of good businesses which you can easily own through index.

“The goal of the non-professional should not be to pick winners—neither he nor his “helpers” can do that—but should rather be to own a cross-section of businesses that in aggregate are bound to do well."

Experts argue that investors should buy good companies and hold it for the long term. In case you find it difficult to identify stocks, you can simply invest through an index fund which is also cost effective in terms of management fee.

The idea is to own businesses which will do well and create wealth over time.

Avoid constantly tracking stock prices

Buffett’s style of investing is that once you have bought an asset, you should not be worried about its price every day.

This is what normally happens in real estate investments. People don’t go out to buy and sell every day.

However in the stock market, since prices are available on a real-time basis, there is temptation among investors to do something which should be avoided.

Says Buffet: “If you can enjoy Saturdays and Sundays without looking at stock prices, give it a try on weekdays.”

Avoid changes of Invest value in short time

Thinking about price changes is speculation.

People tend to buy when prices have run up quite a bit and sell when it has already fallen.

Investors, in fact, should be doing exactly the opposite. “A climate of fear is your friend when investing; a euphoric world is your enemy,”.

Keep simple investment

In order to get reasonably good returns, you don’t need to be an expert in the asset class that you are investing in.

In order to explain this, Buffett uses the example of a farm that he bought in 1986. He had very little idea about farm operations. But with the help from his son, he did a quick calculation on how much the farm will yield and what will be the operating cost. Around 28 years down the line, the output of the farm has gone up three times and its value has gone up five times.

The basic argument is that you need to “keep things simple and don’t swing for the fences”.

Time to Invest

Investors that have made money are already taking profit from the table as after a long time they have made decent money in the equity market.

Players who have returned to the market due to the recent rally should guard their optimism as the market will not be a one way street. It is expected to remain good but to get the desired returns it will take time.

In the current scenario sticking to fundamentally sound companies with strong balance sheet will be a good and a safe bet. However one thing is clear irrespective of outcome of the budget it's time to be an investors and not a Traders.

Market in the long-run always rewards patience.

Available Quality Companies

The key issue in the sector is the availability of quality companies.

While there is supply of funding in the space, there is a lag in terms of demand from good companies.

We find very few impact-creating and investible companies but at the same time there is a lot of investor money chasing them. This leads to high valuations, which further makes the sustainability of the business difficult - in terms of ability to raise more capital, bringing misaligned investors on board, etc.

Impact Invest India - (III)

Impact investing in India is fairly young and evolving quite rapidly.

Most impact investing since 2005 has been in microfinance Institutions (MFIs). Over the past three years impact investors have been working on partnering with businesses which enhance access to high-quality education, health care, energy, water and sanitation. Investors have also been keen on generating employment and developing the agricultural supply chain.

The industry today has a range of players active in India from development finance institutions, private-equity funds, venture capital funds, incubators and likewise.

Most business opportunities are early stage in nature.
