Nick Hodge

Out of the fields and in to the market, Nick Hodge hails from a small farm in the northeast corner of Maryland, right at the top of the Chesapeake Bay--bringing with him the experience and insight it takes to profit from the burgeoning crop-based biofuels boom.

Jesuit-educated at Loyola College, he is a strong believer of kicking the nation's Middle Eastern oil habit by any means necessary--and making a good bit of green along the way.

Also concerned with the world's dwindling availability of fresh water, Nick has been able to uncover a new generation of young, profitable companies that are set to explode as the world's energy crisis falls in line with an even more catastrophic water crisis.

From water treatment to water conservation technology - Nick's already on the inside, scoping out the most profitable opportunities this crisis will deliver for decades to come.

Most recently, Nick has become increasingly interested in carbon markets and the profit opportunities they create. He's an expert on the Kyoto Protocol and its associated carbon markets. And he's a strong proponet of a domestic cap-and-trade system, keeping a close eye on that situation as it develops.

He'll be recommending carbon, water and novel energy related stocks in his exclusive service, the Alternative Energy Speculator.

An avid outdoorsman, when he's not watching the ticker or writing for Green Chip Stocks and Energy & Capital, Nick can be found fishing the vast tributaries of the Chesapeake or in the woods looking to bag the big one.

Nick is a regular contributor to Energy & Capital, Wealth Daily and Green Chip Review, and has been featured on Canada's Business News Network and Yahoo!'s Tech Ticker.

He is managing editor of Alternative Energy Speculator and Green Chip International.
