Today’s Investment U Crib Sheet

Earlier this week, Dave - our resident infrastructure and energy expert - showed us how Obama could take a page from Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” In the full article, you’ll get seven ways to profit from the “new” economic fuel.

Dave also showed us two infrastructure companies that aren’t just surviving the current economic malaise: They’re thriving.

One of them, Airgas, produces specialty gasses and products used from dental offices and hospitals to construction sites. And this company is on fire, in a good way. 

The other recession-resistant company produces specialty parts that aren’t found in your average hardware store. It supplies everything from nuts and bolts to just about everything else its customers - from manufacturers to institutions - need to keep the lights on. WW Grainger is a healthy infrastructure play that deserves a look.

These are the companies that we literally can’t live without, and that’s what makes them so important to a well-balanced portfolio.

With endless amounts of trash being produced daily, waste management companies are about as recession proof as you’re going to get. The surprising thing is how “green” they’re getting - and it’s not just the environment they’re improving. To get broader exposure to this ever-vital sector, here’s an ETF that focuses on environmental services.

Remote Offices offer new opportunities and a better lifestyle by aullman
High speed internet and web based applications have made it possible for a high percentage of office workers to be able to work remotely. However, only a small percentage of office workers telecommute. What is it going to take to get more workers off overcrowded roadways? It may take a paradigm shift. Many workers don't have adequate facilities (reliable internet and a private work space) in their home. There are also social issues (feelings of isolation). The answer is for workers to telecommute from a remote office rather than a home office. Remote Office Centers lease individual offices, internet and phone systems to workers from different companies in share centers located around the city and suburbs. ROCs are fairly new, but can be found in many cities by searching the internet for "Remote Office Centers" in quotes. Remote Offices provide structure and infrastructure. Remote Office Centers offer opportunities for employers, employees and for office leasing companies looking for a new way to lease office space in a slowing economy.
