It is not meant to be a complete list, but represents well-known companies across a variety of sectors which offer the potential for high returns once the current market pessimism passes and economic growth returns.

Introduction <>There is a considerable amount of talk in investment and research communities these days about the cost of solar power generation. Even though the cost of solar power today from sources such as photovoltaic [PV] and solar thermal is more expensive than traditional forms of power generation utilizing resources such as coal and natural gas, many believe that in the long term solar power will achieve cost parity with traditional forms of grid power. For the reasons stated below, I believe that solar power generation is on track to achieve grid parity in the next few years witho< />...

4/7 - "Citigroup’s Timothy Arcuri swapped Applied off of his firm’s “Top Picks Live” list, which sounds more like a bad reality TV show than a list of stock picks, replacing it with KLA Tencor (KLAC). Arcuri still has a Buy rating on AMAT."

Applied Materials (AMAT)

Applied Materials manufactures semiconductors and fabrication equipment for the semiconductor industry worldwide. Some predict that these businesses will suffer in 2007 due to a chip glut.

I own AMAT indirectly through an investment in the Clean Energy ETF (PBW) and I do not plan to buy it in its own right.
<>Applied Materials is a former highflier of the 1990s which has come down to earth....
