Six 'Cash for Caulkers' Stocks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday called on Congress to enact a program to provide incentives to consumers that make energy efficiency improvements to their homes in a speech at the Brookings Institution. The idea, which earlier had been dubbed "Cash for Caulkers," is intended to aid the environment and create jobs, but it also would serve as a boon to companies that will meet consumer demand for energy efficiency products. Here are several to consider:
Home Depot
Home Depot(HD) is the largest home improvement retailer in the U.S., with 2,233 retail stores as of February. It would benefit from homeowners and contractors looking to buy insulation, caulking and weatherization products. It's one of Jim Cramer's picks to benefit from the Cash for Caulkers program.
