Every decade or so there is a new technological breakthrough or invention that causes the stock market to soar, like the Internet, for example.
Although the price of oil is driving down the stock market today, I believe in less than a decade we will be on the verge of a major technological breakthrough that will make oil less relevant. Just like CDs replaced records, and DVDs replaced tapes, so will this Alternative Energy (AE) replace oil as our main source of energy.
AE will be the driving force that will spawn an entirely new international industry. It will be an industry that produces energy on the cheap and will be able to transport that energy from one area of the globe to another very efficiently.
Although the entire market should benefit from this new technology, there will be a few players that will surge and make new millionaires and billionaires. It's always difficult to determine which companies to invest in now or when the time comes that will become the next Google, but I hope to be ready when I see it.
