Older technologies deliver power inefficiently, often consuming two or three times the amount of power needed by the end product and wasting substantial amounts of energy. Firms that provide solutions to so-called "energy vampires" will out perform. Our favorite name in this arena is Power Integrations, Inc. (Nasdaq: [ POWI ]).

Solar power has seen double digit growth every year since 2004. Check out MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (NYSE: [ WFR ]).

Generically, the licensing business model has inherent advantages, such as a low overhead structure, limited capital investment requirements, very high margins and strong cash flows. On the flip side, this requires the maintenance of a technologically advanced IP portfolio and its protection from infringement, which could be very complex in a global economy with countries that don't recognize or actively enforce IP rights. Investors may want to consider Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: [ TSRA ]).
