Way Oversold

I admit that solar as mainstream alternative energy is ions away, but solar and wind will be the most logical alternative energy sources in the new era.  I admit that these companies have yet to proven any long-term viability and its more speculation than fundamentals at this point but i still believe they are the future.  I also agree that last year speculation drove these stocks to astronomic levels and that's maybe why we're experiencing a sell-off in this group like we've been seeing since the beginning of the year.  But for now, I feel the group is extremely oversold and we'll see a rebound while volatility cools...

You are right. With price of electricity so high these days, it is simply worth it to create a parallel power grid for Solar (which is far more popular than wind).. Solar's problem being that electricity can be generated during daylight hours only.. This is now worth the infrastructure expense. And since $80 oil days are gone forever, expect huge growth in this field.
I'm partial to WFR myself.. but LDK is a pretty good bet as well...
Stay away from FSLR though - their P/E isn't reasonable..

"...its more speculation than fundamentals at this point..."

Actually, the fundamentals are great. LDK is expects earnings growth at an average annual rate of 67% for the next 5 years. As well, their PEG is 0.28. This is almost the best PEG on the entire North American stock market.

As well, 100% of their 2008 production has been sold and over 90% of their 2009 production, which guarantees this and next year's income. So...could it really be any better?

I am a newbie to all of this. From what I am reading, I thnk getting in on LDK,WFR is the way to go long. I am interested in a new out the gate winners (oil drilling again in the USA), and once I buy and track, I will return as to my success?

Excellent content - as you always provide and inspires me to come again and again.

There is one more valuable resource I’d like to share with others readers. It’s called Secrets of Successful Traders that teaches you…

How to turn $1000 into $ 1MILLION in 5 years or less using nothing but...

-- a brokerage account (so that you can trade),
-- $1000 in a pocket
-- And one 'jealously guarded' strategy that won't even require you to spend 20 minutes a day.

And remember, there is no chart reading or boring technical analysis involved in the entire trade process.
