Solar Investors, Understand Silicon Supply

It is nice to hear from someone that obviously knows what he's talking about...great article. Look forward to the follow up...and if you are DRINKING...have one on me.

Comcast at Last - Cramer's Mad Money (5/6/08)

Does this guy ever tire of hearing himself speak? I watched a couple of his shows (and tracked several of his recommendations and pans). Of the 9 recommendations , 7 were losers and of the 3 pans all were winners...I find him to be a loud mouth huckster with little or no true insight. Sure, he's been around the block when it comes to the market, however, we ALL have had our share of winners (and losers).
Do we really need someone to tell us that natural gas, solar and perhaps coal are good companies to invest in ? Crude is $122 a barrel and gas is $4.00+ per gallon with no end in sight. I bought FSLR at $211...it's $278 now.....maybe I deserve a show and a platform to tell others where to put their money...then when I'm wrong I'll simply apologize and say "oops, sorry, I missed something".
He sounds like some "full-service" brokers I worked with in the past....

Under The Radar News - Tuesday

I agree PHLASH ! When they lower the rates again (and they will), we'll be seeing another "pop" in the financials. When the rate (now at 2.25%) is down to 1.5 or lower...every senior citizen on a fixed income that counts on interest from savings or CD's to supplement his/her already low income will find themselves deciding on which to purchase...heat, gas or food the next time they leave the house.
This mess cannot be fixed by lowering interest rates...it's a shame, with all this country's intellectuals, economists, think tanks and "analyst's" the media has more influence than all of them combined.
I simply haven't figured out what they are intent on doing here...a 12-18 month recession is imminent...that'll show them...and you, and me and the rest of the world...yikes !

Credit Market Mayhem and the S&L Crisis: Drawing Parallels

If you see this as a light at the end of a tunnel, I sure hope you have a flash light and some extra batteries. The only benefit to the "average JOE" is a remote possibility that this just might be positive sign in an otherwise negative climate...Does it have legs ? I think not.
I know when I pull up to the pump, go grocery shopping,and tell the family there's no chance of a vacation this summer I really don't care
