With Help from California, Solar Gets Fired Up

David, you are a big chearleader for SOL and STP. Sol is currently trading down, as their confrence call didn't bode too well for future margins. Inflation will hit the solar market hard also.

With Help from California, Solar Gets Fired Up

These plans are all contingent on a 30% tax credit and also building an adequate delivery grid. If you wish to rest your hard earned dollars on a pipe dream, by all means go ahead.

Solar cannot survive without subsidies and is a very inefficient way of making electricity. Wind, as a renewable is much better suited as unlike solar, can provide energy throughout the day. Solar don't work at night period. You need a back up supply, plain and simple. The tax credits for this should be reduced. As Alpha24/7 states, it takes money out of the poor and disadvantaged anyway. Energy will never be free. we won't be able to get off fossil fuels until our technology increases exponentially, which for solar hasn't happened.

Short Covering Helps Boost Stocks

Although the major indicies are up over the long term, it is a fool's game to invest long term. For every Microsoft, if you bought in 86, there are hundreds of Enron's and other companies that went bust. Since last year, I have been a short seller and I have been up 24% last year. This year I am up 16%. I short every overvalued company, SPWR, BGG, ALGN, JCW, anyone that the P/E ratio is greater than the rest of theri peers. I may get upside down for a while, but they all come in.

As far as fixing the economy, How about fixing the government first. Less taxes and less interferrence in the markets. Anyone who calls for a government bailout is a socialist, or communist. That's not what free markets are all about. You numbnuts should read our constitution. The government presently is bankrupting us and will descimate us in the long term. You want America strong, bring back manufacturing here. Make laws about CEO's and others in stock option distributions that are equal for everyone. Build more nuclear power plants, and we will have enough oil for ourselves to power the autos. Yes, we have to have our peple doing the jobs that illegals are doing now. Yes, it will be a bitter pill, but it will make us stronger in the long run. Less government, less welfare, less handouts, no bailouts, just hard work which this country was founded on but now is about doing the easiest way out without work. There is no such thing as a free lunch nimblenuts, remember that.

This won't be over until a few banks, insurers, lenders, retailers, and other companies go out of buisness. That's when you go long, but only on low P/E stocks and a very selective few which I still can't see yet. It is much easier to short than go long.
