Is BioteQ (TSE:BQE) a "BUY tech"?

One Year chart looks promising

Mining companies can no longer discharge toxic wastewater into streams, rivers and lakes, and so they must turn to companies like BQE tpo remedies.

BioteQ looks to be one of those emerging environmental technology companies worth researching, and accumulating prudently over time. After trading above $1 in January and February, the stock is now being accumulated between .70 and .80, though in a period of general market weakness as often happens during the 3rd year of a US Presidency, BQE could certainly trade lower in coming months. One strategy to consider would be to start picking up the stock now, with the intention of completing the position by the second Tuesday in December, which is generally the bottom after tax-loss selling and the launch pad for the year-end rally and the usual January optimism rise.

Here's what Google Finance says about BioteQ:

BioteQ Environmental Technologies Inc. (BioteQ) is an industrial process technology company. BioteQ has developed technologies for water treatment, sulphate reduction, and lime sludge processing. BioteQ’s process plants treat acid and metal contaminated water with concurrent recovery of saleable metals from the water and reduction of total dissolved solids. It is a water treatment company that applies technologies and operating to solve water treatment problems in the resource and power generation industries. BioteQ focuses on delivering lower life cycle costs for industrial wastewater treatment by removing dissolved heavy metals and sulphate effectively than conventional treatment systems, producing clean water for re-use or discharge, and recovering valuable metals from waste in the form of saleable products. Its customers include resource companies, utility operators, and regulators.

Sell in May and go away; Timely advice for 2011?

The old axim to "sell in May and go away" may turn out to be a wise aphorism again in 2011, as equity markets, oil and gold are all looking toppy, which could mean near-term trouble for green energy stocks and mutuals funds.

If your investment horizon is more than fifteen years away, you may want to ride this one out, however if your funds will be needed in five to ten years, consider moving 40% to 60% of your tax-free accounts to cash. For taxable accounts, contact your advisor to assess implications before making any moves.

When to get back in? Well, historically a great entry point has been the 2nd Tuesday in December, right near the end of the tax-loss selling, and just before the year end rally leads into a normally strong January.

Another strategy would be to inch back in if markets decline and plow back in if they tumble; in this scenario, you might start a dollar-cost-averaging plan to buy a specific amount each month, and then double or triple the amount if markets fall 15% to 20% or more.

I would only move all to cash if your investment horizon is less than 5 years, as 100% cash is too risky for longer term investors, who may be affected by inflation in the future.
