  • Three Companies That Reported Earnings on Monday: Value or Value Trap?

    By Brian Nichols - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: GMAN, JASO, SONC

    Earnings can be the best period of opportunity in the market, as they often set the trend for the following three months. However, it can also be a trap. Therefore, I am looking at each of the below companies' performance to determine if these reactions are creating value or a value trap.

  • What’s Moving Thursday’s Outperformers & How to Play it

    By Brian Nichols - January 4, 2013 | Tickers: ALU, JASO, SRPT, VRNG

    On a flat trading day, a stock that outperforms with large gains is not hard to notice. Companies that see the greatest movement, on these days, are often driven by factors that could impact long-term trends. Therefore I am looking at stocks that moved to the highest degree on Thursday; stocks that might continue to trade higher.

  • Chinese Domination: 5 Reasons the Dragon Will Breath Fire in the World Economy in 2013

    By Luke Pinkney - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: CAAS, CHA, JASO, PTR, PKX, TSL

    If someone were to survey a random sampling of the people closest to me, he might conclude that I am a die-hard cheerleader for Chinese investment.  I would argue, however, that this is not the case.  For if I am a cheerleader I am a poor one, at best, for I only cheer when the team is winning.  At worst, I will abandon the team when it becomes obvious to more »

  • Invest in Solar Power for the Next 30 Years

    By Matthew Frankel - November 2, 2012 | Tickers: FSLR, GE, JASO, TSL

    After the roller-coaster year that First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) has had, it may be time to reassess whether or not the company and/or the entire solar industry is even viable.  In full disclosure, I am a big fan of solar as a concept.  However, it remains to be seen if the wide-scale implementation of solar power is economically feasible.  If there is one company that has what it takes more »

  • Give Solar Time to Get Its Groove Back

    By Amanda Alix - December 19, 2011 | Tickers: CSIQ, ENER, FSLR, JASO, SPWR, TSL

    Without a doubt, 2011 was a bittersweet year for the solar industry.  Solar energy installations in the U.S. increased nearly 40% in the third quarter over Q2, adding more than 200 megawatts of solar power capacity--more than was added in all of 2009.  Large-scale projects boomed and the residential market heated up, thanks to government tax incentives.  Prices of panels began to fall, making solar even more attractive to more »
