There was a flurry of activity in the market today, most of which pointed to higher profits for Green Chip investors.

First off, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) leapt to an all-time high this morning, spurred by good same-store Wal-Mart results and hopes of more big mergers on the heals of the proposed $38.1 billion Alcan (NYSE: AL) and Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP) deal.

But, as you know, the DJIA has implications that reach much further than large retail chains and metal companies. It provides and helps maintain investor confidence and, generally, can be used as a rigid indicator of the market's status as a whole.

And the message sent this morning: the market is hungry and ready to grow.

Let's face it, the stock market is the place to be--the dollar is down, and the housing market is scarier than a waking Rosie O'Donnell.

But there is still capital out there--and it's looking for a home. More and more, it's looking like capital's new home is the stock market, as evidence by the DJIA.

And the renewable energy industry is no laggard. Most of the major indexes tracking the renewable sector are right on par with the records being broken by the Dow.

Have a look at a comparative chart of the DJIA and the Wilderhill Clean Energy Index (^ECO) over the past year:

But keep in mind these are industry averages. Don't get me wrong, 22% on the year is fairly good, considering most brokers on the street bust their humps to earn just 10% annually.

But at Green Chip, we consistently beat the average. Take a look at another comparative chart. This one compares the DJIA with World Water and Power (WWAT.OB):

You see that straight-looking blue line? That's the record-breaking DJIA. The red line is World Water, which has been in the Green Chip Stocks portfolio for quite some time now.

There are plenty more examples like this, but the webmasters here say I can't insert that many charts--something about slowing down the server.

At any rate, the Green Chip Stocks and Alternative Energy Trader's portfolios continually make the Dow look like chump change.

Plus, when oil prices start climbing to above $70 per barrel--we nearly saw $74 today--renewable energy stocks really start to shine.
