Two comments I've made in the past but have to repeat:That said the portfolio is less green than ever although part of that is due to First Solar dropping 60% and thus making up a smaller percentage of the loot.
1) These are only the publicly traded U.S. stocks in their portfolio. Private deals, foreign stocks, cash etc. don't show up.
GIM is reputed to be running $5 Billion, these securities only total $2.36 Bil.
2) This is not a very "green" portfolio.
Quanta Services is a big engineering services provider to the electrical and natgas industries but there haven't been a lot of shovel-ready jobs coming their way.
