    This "piece" (certainly not a whole) doesn't say anything, and it misses a major point -- water management is far less efficient than oil management (and yes, I'd even say that Saudi or VZ management is relatively better off. Because there is so much potential for improvement via improved institutions, investment in water is tricky (regulatory risk). Read my blog (aguanomics.com/) for more depth on water and economics.

    Looking for water ideas? I was too...but this introduction didn't help much at all. Here's a much better one that actually goes over a couple well-known and a few lesser-known water investment ideas:

    The 'Water' value chain is highly fragmented from Pipe manufacturers, Filteration experts, Valve and Metering companies, Utilities, Turnkey operators, Chemicals and Infrastructure and Distribution.

    I have spent a lot of time understanding the players but if one needs quick access to the 'Water Space' my suggestion is to look at ETF's such as PHO, PIO and CGW.

    It is also very important to get the 'Sub Sector' right when investing in water so subscibe to a newsletter like 'WIN' to keep updated on trends in the industry and where they are flowing (No Pun Intended)

    We understand water is needed, but why should we invest in it? What stocks do you recommend? Reply

    water is not the oil of the next century. there is a lot of water around. And as keithfeather mentioned, just takes some energy to fix it. Same can't be said about oil, although as an investment opportunity, its interesting Reply

    Aaron, it would be great for you to do some in-depth research here on investment opportunities in the companies involved in water . I hope you will include HOO (European company) in the list, they have some involvement in China, and several other nations - Reply

    Your article is more of an introduction to an interesting article than an article itself. There little in your article that an investor can use. I agree that water is a critical issue, and maybe a great investment opurtunity. Reply

    Investing in the Looming Worldwide Water Shortage [view article]
    My name is Steve Brinson and I represent a co. called Iriigation on the Cutting Edge,LLC. I have been in the irrigation business for over 20yrs and discovered a problem that all sprinlker systems share. They leak. Because it is a small leak, low pressure and underground it goes undetected. I have invented a way to save the country if not the world billions of gallons of water a day. My product is proven and patented. i am looking for investors and partners to take this to the next level. Thanks Steve slbrinson@bellsouth.ne... 850-628-1190 Reply

    Haha! Thanks for the advertisement, Stockaccumulator. According to my short term trading models, I would be short SOL as of June 13th, and would be up 30%+ (though it's not one of my top 20 positions, and I didn't trade it).

    Keep the pump and dump kind of vibes on someone else's posts perhaps.

    Zacks published this (see below article) 7 trading days ago about Renesola (SOL), when the price was bouncing around at about $20.

    Zacks Rank in Industry 1 of 44... the best of all solars. Thats number one...

    See Zacks' site. This in addition to Investors Business Daily June ranking of SOL as the 4th best company (not just solars but the whole world, every company) to invest in... and in addition to Piper Jaffray's amazing careful on site research on SOL. Piper Jaffray article in June practically audited SOL, and its clean balance sheet, and they love it.

    Last week's drop was clearly a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater to raise cash to feel good before the July 4th weekend... No news on SOL, just bullish: New rediculous cost of oil, and local and national governments worldwide jumping on the Solar bandwagon...

    Note that SOL actually sells to other solars, and has a unique method of production and supply, recycling for creation of its product... a unique process and company.

    I trust all three combined, Zacks, IBD, and Piper Jaffray.

    Read this quote from Zacks last week:

    "Through its history, ReneSola regularly adapted to changing market dynamics. The company is aggressively ramping up its polysilicon and solar wafer production capacities. Going forward, increased captive generation of polysilicon will improve its cost structure and enable wafer capacity expansions. Globally, rising solar wafer sales, along with escalating crude and long-term supply agreements, should collectively generate significant earnings growth. Buoyed by these positive factors and
    impressive results, SOL increased its 2008 production
    output and sales guidance. Accordingly, with a
    bullish outlook and an attractive relative valuation, we initiate coverage of SOL with a BUY recommendation and a six-month target price of $24.25, representing 27.2% upside potential."

    Note: today, at $13 SOL upside would be perhaps 40% ... Zacks published this above article 7 trading days ago when SOL price was much higher... other analysts have targets of $40, some at $55...

    Time to run to your laptop and buy SOL fast...
