      I don't know as much as you guys, but recently the price of lemons dropped by 5 cents each at the local grocery store, so my kids dropped the price per cup of lemonade at their Lemonade Stand from 25 cents to 20 cents. Revenues increased by 15%, adding about $3 per week to their bottom line. They said they wanted to use the extra profit to buy another blender... Sep 04 09:25 AM

      notsosmart, you should take some of your tanker stock dividends and invest in a remedial grammar, spelling, and punctuation class. (Also, it wouldn't hurt to get your "shift" key fixed.) And for future reference, you're going to have to prepare a little more than by just watching Cramer before trying to smack-talk with Stockerblog... Aug 01 05:02 PM
    • Tom Konrad on Alternative Energy ETFs [view article]
      Mr. Konrad, I enjoy your articles, and as the old ad slogan goes "when you speak, I listen". But for you to suggest that Mr. Obama would be the best Presidential Candidate for alternative energy stocks is almost ludicrous.

      Barack Obama may understand the issue of alternative energy, but he does not understand capitalism, economics, and the market forces which will be necessary to make a transformation from fossil fuels to renewable fuels possible in the US. Obama will raise capital gains taxes, depressing the entire market including much needed investment in alternative energy. Obama will raise corporate income taxes, forcing companies to reduce R & D, reduce hiring, and possibly even push some of our brightest minds (and the venture capitalists who fund them) outside our borders to set up shop in more "business friendly" nations. And, Obama will raise personal income taxes, further reducing the amount of free capital available to invest in innovation, manufacture and job creation within the alternative energy sector.

      Somewhere within the range of 50-100 years we will be a very "green" and "renewable" and "alternative"... energy nation. (We still have some major hurdles, not the least of which is to find economically viable replacements for plastic, styrofoam, vinyl, and other petroleum distillate products- like the one you're all staring at right now!) We all want alternative energy, we all "get it". The question is: Will America lead the way? Like we did with the incandescent lightbulb, the automobile, the telephone, the personal computer, and dozens of other innovations we introduced to the world? Or, will we just copy or buy the technology from other nations? Barack Obama understands the problem, but does he understand that the solution is to release the forces of capitalism and freedom?

      Nice job, Mr. Shedlock.

      Thanks for posting an informative article regarding the current state of various solar technologies, complete with diagrams, pictures and hyper links. I appreciate the fact that there are no "name dropping" ticker references- I find that a refreshing departure from the majority of pieces where the authors tend to stump their own investments. Also, great job targeting the article for the more casual green investor by tagging it with TAN, PBW & PBD.

      Keep up the good work... looking forward to more.       Jul 01 01:18 PM
    • Solving the Energy Problem Without Nuclear [view article]
      In the short-term (30-50 years), there is only one way to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil- drill for our own oil!

      Unless of course someone can explain to me how we're going to power jet aircraft, ocean liners, heavy equipment and even semi-trucks? Our battery/capacitor technology is barely advanced enough to power lightweight, plastic cars for 100 miles. And speaking of plastic, which is petroleum-based, does anyone know of an economically viable alternative to replace plastic, vinyl or styrofoam? (If you do, please let me know because I'd like to get in on THAT IPO!)

      Don't get me wrong, I'm a "green" guy. I think we are moving in the right direction by "going green" (and that includes nuclear). But I also have enough common sense to realize that we are 50+ years from "going green" to "being green", and in the meantime we are going to need oil, and lots of it.       May 23 06:37 PM
