Westport - a long term play for natural gas

Not sure how many of you have heard about Westport Innovations (WPRT). It jumped 20% today. Westport Innovations, based in Vancouver, Canada,  is a global leader in alternative fuel, low-emissions technologies that allow engines to operate on clean-burning fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Today, it announced that it has teamed up with Shell to launch innovative co-marketing program to develop North American market for liquefied natural gas vehicles & fuels. Previously WPRT has already entered into joint ventures with other companies such as Cummins to develop and commercialize natural gas-enabling technology for buses, refuse trucks and vocational vehicles as well as for the heavy-duty diesel engine and truck market.


What is so interesting for WPRT? It is natural gas! Although natural gas is very depressed in terms of  its price, it is actually one of the next super long-term trends you can bet on. I believe natural gas is like gold in 2001. All the things have lined up for its bullish trend. It is only a matter of time that the market will wake up to recognize it. At the moment, no one is interested in it. That's great for someone like me. I want to get in early in the game for this super-bull-to-be. I been looking for ways to invest in natural gas and WPRT is one of them very interesting to me. I'm sure I will talk more about natural gas in the future, more so as time passes by, just like about gold and silver.
