I’m often surprised at how many of my favorite green stocks are listed in Canada. This year, two of my Ten Clean Energy Stocks for 2010 are Canadian listed. The same was true for my 2008 list, while my 2009 list contained three stocks from Canadian exchanges. I mostly stick to companies that are traded on North American exchanges, so it’s not surprising that more Canadian-listed companies appear than, say, companies listed in Britain (only one over three years.)
It’s also surprising that there are so many Canadian listed firms, given that Canada’s economy is only about one tenth the size of the United States’ economy. Canada’s largest exchange, the TSX, has 3841 companies with a combined market capitalization of about $1.4 trillion, compared to 3615 at $10.8 trillion for the NYSE and 2249 at $2.8 trillion for the NASDAQ.
