  By Zachary Scheidt - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, HD, PHG |

• Is Investing in Efficient Lighting a Bright Idea?

  By Wes Patoka - June 9, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, PHG

  Since the invention of the light bulb in 1880, there have been massive productivity increases worldwide. Having a source of light other than a candle gave people the opportunity to work or play after the sun set for the day. Thomas Edison’s Edison Illuminating Company was the first investor-owned electric utility. This utility later became General Electric (NYSE: GE), the only remaining Dow Jones Industrial Average component from the more »

• Will this Company Burn Bright?

  By Mark Morelli - June 5, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, HD

  Does innovation in a industry dating back to the 1800's pay?

  Cree Inc. (NASDAQ: CREE) certainly hopes so. It is betting on technology it has refined over the last quarter century to replace something that has been around since before the automobile--the incandescent light bulb.

  The company recently announced a breakthrough in its line up of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which allows the 40W model to be purchased more »

• Are These Solar Bets Winners?

  By Jacob Wolinsky - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: ABB, CREE, ENPH

  Swiss industrial giant ABB  (NYSE: ABB) surprised markets by announcing a deal to acquire solar-inverter manufacturer Power-One for nearly $1 billion in cash. The offer price of $6.35 per share was a huge premium of 57% to Power One’s market price, and it was natural for the stock to get a boost after the deal came to public light.

• Are These 3 Neglected Tech Plays Worth Buying?

  By Chris Lau - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, IRBT, LXK

  The earnings season gives investors an opportunity to review the health of their holdings. The timing is especially important because there's a high probability that the markets will correct. Markets rose steadily since mid-November, 2012, and have yet to drop.

  The Nasdaq index, as measured by the PowerShares QQQ ETF (QQQ), did dip 3% before nearly recovering those losses. The index is now trying to reach a peak it more »

• How This Company Can Light Up Your Home and Your Portfolio

  By Harsh Chauhan - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, PHG

  Light-emitting diode (LED) company Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) did again what it does best -- report a solid quarter, beat estimates, and sound out a decent guidance. The company has been on a terrific run over the past few months, and there seems to be no stopping.

  As I’d stated in my earnings preview post, Cree is a stock which investors should consider buying irrespective of its quarterly results, as the more »

• Brighten Your Portfolio With LEDs

  By Declan Fallon - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: CAJ, CREE, VECO

  The headlines are putting stocks into a mini-spin, although stocks will have to fall a long way for bears to claim any real victory. In this environment, it's all too easy to focus on the rally's big winners and watch profit takers nickle-and-dime such stocks lower. Better is to go looking for value in stocks which have avoided attention, but may be falling in sympathy with what's more »

• Ignore This Company’s Upcoming Results, It’s Destined for Greatness Anyway

  By Harsh Chauhan - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, PHG |

  I had expected light-emitting diode (LED) maker Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) to light up in 2013, but the stock’s performance is worthy of even better adjectives. Cree has been on a trailblazing run, appreciating more than 60% so far this year as of this writing. It has successfully defied gravity and left analysts, who had remarked last year that Cree was priced for perfection, in awe.
