Top 10 Clean Energy Companies To Invest In Right Now

Thursday morning, Barack Obama met with Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Brian Moynihan, and other members of the country's largest financial institutions. Let me pause for a minute to let you digest the sheer number of pinstripes and massive egos that strolled into the White House.

While the full details from the meeting between the President and financial leaders weren't released to the public, it is encouraging to see there is at least some communication present on Capitol Hill. According to the White House, the group discussed housing, education policy, and clean energy financing. Although not explicitly stated, the bankers probably shared their thoughts on the new regulation, such as the Volcker Rule. Of these topics, bank leaders were surely heavily interested in the housing sector.

After drastic deterioration in the housing sector pushed the country into a deep recession, banks and policymakers both received most of the blame. However, looking ahead, a productive relationship between the largest money centers and housing policy makers is absolutely vital to a continued housing and broader economic recovery. The discussion comes at an interesting time, as the nation's two largest mortgage lenders, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC  ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM  ) are set to release earnings on Friday morning.
