    By Reuben Brewer - May 24, 2013 | Tickers: GE, LUFK, SI

    General Electric (NYSE: GE) is slowly making good on its promise to shrink its finance arm while at the same time returning value to shareholders. That's a good sign, but it needs to keep going.

    The Trouble with Money

    General Electric is a giant conglomerate refocused on its industrial businesses. The decision to get back to basics was pretty much forced on the company by the deep 2007 to more »

    By Joshua Bondy - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: EXC, ORA, SI

    It is easy to forget the innovative role that the military has played in modern life. America's DARPA sponsored APRANET was one of the precursors of the internet.

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: GE, SI, WHR

    Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR) has managed to beat earnings in each of the last three quarters. The story was more of the same when the appliance maker posted EPS of $3.12, compared to $1.17 during the same period last year. Whirlpool tumbled to close to $20 per share at the height of the real estate downturn, but now the stock is back above pre-crisis levels.

    US Solar Stocks are on a bull run

    Solar stocks have been rising rapidly in the recent months along with the general stock market and improving industry fundamentals. The buyout of Power-One (NASDAQ: PWER) for a substantial premium by European giant ABB has improved the sentiment as well. While the Chinese solar stocks are still under pressure due to the bon defaults by Suntech (NYSE: STP) and LDK Solar (NYSE: LDKmore »)

  • Will This Electric Equipment Stock Shine After This Deal?

    By Shas Dey - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: ABB, GE, SI

    Just as ABB (NYSE: ABB) reported higher first-quarter profit, partly due to increased sales on account of acquisition of Thomas and Betts last year, the company announced that it has agreed to acquire the U.S. solar company, Power One. The deal marks the entry of the Swiss electrical engineering company into solar power. The acquisition assumes greater significance in light of the acknowledgment by the CEO that there was more »

  • Nokia: Down but Not Out

    By Callum Turcan - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, NOK, SI

    It takes a while to turn around a company, but when it happens the returns can be huge. Nokia (NYSE: NOK)) has stopped the bleeding of cash, but has yet to return to stable profitability. When it does, the stock could take off.

    Competition problems

    Management routinely cited competition as a major headwind for Lumia sales, as new phones from Google to BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) take to the shelves. BlackBerry more »

    During the course of my research on U.S. stocks I often come across articles egging people on to follow hedge funds, often blindly. Recently, I came across one such article that said that hedge funds were buying Koninklijke Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG). I have no intention of establishing the authenticity of the information or to know when hedge funds started buying, if at all, as it is not my more »

  • The Future of Wind is in Massachusetts

    By Scott Levine - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: BWEN, GE, SI

    In the epic story of Scotland’s fight for independence, Mel Gibson portrays William Wallace as a courageous and passionate leader who dies, without regret, for what he believes in: Scotland’s liberation from English tyranny.

    If there’s only one thing that someone will remember from the movie, it’s the last line. The line which Wallace shouts while he is being eviscerated,

    “Freedom!”

    The lighting industry has been changing in the United States. Due to government mandates, certain light bulbs can no longer be sold.

  • This LED Manufacturer Seems Well Poised To Rally

    By Piyush Arora - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, PHG, SI

    It’s hard to dislodge companies that become synonymous to a product itself. In this case, if I talk about LED lights, the first thing to pop up would be Cree (NASDAQ: CREE). The company has not only captured the LED lighting market, but is also the leading innovator in the industry. Although LED penetration is still less than 15%, shares of Cree have more than doubled in value over more »

    By Joseph Harry - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, NOK, SI | Editor's Choice

    I've seen many heated debates over Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) future. The company is often compared to BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) as well, but in my opinion, these two fallen phone makers are two different animals. Nokia may have more opportunities (as well as more problems) in their turnaround story than BlackBerry, and here is why.
