As the 3rd quarter comes to an end while confidence in the U.S. financial system dwindles like the New England Patriots Super Bowl chances this season, we can all take a sigh of relief in knowing that there’s still a handful of companies out there that have managed to gain more then 100% YTD. One company in particular that I have come across that fits this mold is Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies (NasdaqGM: QTWW).

QTWW is a part of the Russell 3000 index and was sitting at $0.50 at the beginning of the year. Since then it has gained more then 230% YTD hitting a 52-week high of $3.22 back on July 2. Since then the stock has retracted more than 56% and is currently trading at $1.40.

From alternatively fueled vehicles to hydrogen storage solutions, Quantum provides a wide range of products and technologies to OEMs, governments and commercial organizations need from concept to production.

The company is currently working on a luxury hybrid car with design guru Henry Fisker. The Fisker Karma utilizes electricity for the first 50 miles. At that point, the combustion engine kicks in providing the driver with a sleek car that is capable of 120 MPG using Quantum’s Q-Drive technology that was developed four years ago for the US Military.

QTWW is a clean technology company that offers products that suit a wide range of applications and a diverse consumer base in several key industries. These include: hydrogen & alternative, military/defense, aerospace, solar, hydrogen refueling and of course hybrid.

As I’ve mentioned before, I suggest keeping my eye on QTTW as they have the potential to become one of the largest players in the global alternative energy solutions marketplace.
