INE vs ALA

[Johnwith30years]

Many coment on VEGA as boastful and annoying... no comment... but I as you know hold a very large position in ALA and continue to do so... but I have also been eyeing more focus on renewables given the transition we are embarked upon globally.
ALA has now proven its model in my view and we can expect quite stable dividend growth and modest ongoing growth from the company sometimes more dramatic than expected.

The average stock price growth expected by analysts  ( I know you hate analysts)  ... but as a quick measure they suggest ALA has 15.33% growth over the next 12 months in target stock price while they now suggest that INEs growth could be a 20.15 % growth in stock price.

The dividend is about  equal:  3.36% for INE and 3.86% for ALA    But if you look at the capital to debt ratios:  INE is about 85.17 while ALA is down to 49.84

We know ALA dividend is poised to be increased every year over the next several years at least but we do not know that about INE.

The higher debt to capital ratio for INE makes it inherently more risky which is why the stock fell so much over the past numbe rof months. However it has raised more capital and has development plans for growth that analysts like. 

However more things have to go just right for INE to meet that 20% stock price increase.

So if you are a trader for a quick profit - you might actually like INE  just now  that analysts have begun to favour it again after the  recent slide,  while more conservative traders might agree that a growing dividend for ALA and a 15% growth rate in stock price with more visibility makes more sense for their needs and comfort level.

But I will suggest that  just now you do not trash Vega on his INE recommendation.  Long term investors could do well - if you can accept volatility ( We have certainly faced it over the past few years with ALA.)  I might just pick a little of INE up.. GL

Nice post John30.  Shows how fair and unbiased you are which boosts your credibility.   As for Vega,  not so much.   His style lacks respect for others and his tone is smug and braggy and likes to put others down.  Therefore his credibility suffers accordingly. Now as for his content,  I like your comparison analysis of of the two companies and give you a 5+ for that

I believe that if you've got it, flaunt it. And I've got it. I'm having an excellent year being up around 30% mostly due to trading renewable energy stocks like INE, BLX and NPI, and I made $65K just this past week alone. As INE and BLX made a good move on Friday, it's time for NPI to play catch up. Look for it to make a move next week.

Congratulations Vega. As a day trader you have done quite well with a 30% return YTD especially when you consider the performance of your three top picks.   However, if you had some patience and were long on ALA you wouldn't have missed out on that extra 8% plus the dividends that occurred while you were MIA.    If you have to "flaunt" how great a
