RELATED TICKERS: FSLR

Hello everyone who reads this. I just wanted to give a few year-end stocktrading thoughts. I want to tell you all that I am going with solar energy, as well as (possibly) other types of energy(including oil and natural gas even though I am a greenie), for the next year or two. With Obama's pending administration as well as the continually growing interest in solar power in the public arena, and then the fact that the stock were battered quite hard this past year, is enough for me to say that these stocks are undervalued. This piuck may be genius, or it may become infamous, but I am fully behind this.
Solar energy is one of the better forms of alternative energy out there, and I have supported it for a long time. Last year, on New Year's in fact, I downgraded FSLR and STP based on value. Within a month, they had both dropped substantially. However, I only did that becauseof their outrageous P/E values ( 180 for FSLR and such). I think that they are great investment opportunities now. FSLR and STP have a way lower price/earnings, and at the moment, STP's is at about 10. I like these odds: for FSLR( QuickInfo ) ( CompanyReport ) (FinancialResults ) be sure to check out the Debt to Equity ratio (0.13) and all the growth ratios, as well as income growth. For STP,( QuickInfo ) (CompanyReport ) (FinancialResults ).Take not of the low P/E and the near-minimum price. [more]

On this blog post, I am not discussing a stock. I am not discussing investing. I am discussing CAPS and some of the quirks I hate about this otherwise wonderful experiment in stock picking online. It has allowed me to experiment with investing theory without major risk. However, I would like some new features to help: [more]

I feel pretty proud of myself. In less than a year, I have called a few major shifts in certain industries. I started playing as, I will adimit, a Total Noob. Since then, I have changed my viewpoints radically. With little to no expereience I have attained a member rating of 93 in less than a year. The day before solar stocks fell, on the first day of '08, I downgraded FSLR and STP.In February, I called the rally in REITS in the healthcare sector. In March, I saw a market that should be entering a much worse period than it was in. I saw that we would be drawing back much, much more on tech and other amenities, and utilities would be the way to go for the safest investment. I mean, people will always need water, and there are always more people being born who need water. Like a monkey, I choose 9 random water stocks that had good valuations. I have gained over 100 pts on that bet. Anyway, I could still do better. Not trying to brag, really. [more]

I wish that I could correctly pick the market every single time. No one can, sadly. But, my theory is that if we can identify good companies in our daily surroundings: if you are in an office building and your employer uses Hewlett Packard (HPQ) computers, and you know that your competitors do as well, and you work in a growing industry, then you pick up HPQ. If you notice particularly popular video games all having a connection to a certain video game design company, invest in it. (Activision, for instance) Use your surroundings to determine ceretain future trends. It doesn't always work, but it is a method. Pick up good comanies in a beaten down sector ( Medical Properties {MPW} is in the finance sector but is a wonderful company) that ight have a link to another sector, like Health-Care REITs, which fell with finance, but will be pulled up with health care. I hope this enriches everyone's investing experience. [more]
