Energy produced from wind power in the United States has more than doubled since 2010, and the EIA forecasts it will double again in the next decade.
That sort of potential is making wind energy stocks in 2017 a popular, and very profitable, investing strategy.
But not all wind power stocks are worth owning. Many wind power stocks are speculative investments or are listed on foreign exchanges, making them difficult to research and buy for American investors.

Matador has grown its reserves throughout the commodity cycle, as well as its production and cash flow. Haas also likes the company’s history of identifying and acquiring acreage early and cheaply.

Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Matthew DiLallo, Tyler Crowe, and Jason Hall]
Oil prices haven’t gotten off to the fast start many expected, falling around 6% on average during the first quarter of the year. That slump came despite OPEC’s best efforts since producing nations have achieved fairly good compliance on their planned output cuts. That said, despite the lackluster oil market, we still see some interestingopportunities in the oil market. Three stocks we really like right now are DistributionNOW(NYSE:DNOW),Phillips 66(NYSE:PSX), andConocoPhillips(NYSE:COP), which all should do well in the current oil market.
