I suppose when the DJI is back to 14000 then everybody willget bullish and then start to buy into the rebound. But will that be the top of the trading range? Just my view but it could happenm Many times in thepast the market climb the wallof worry while the majority were on the side lines waiting for the allclear signal to buy in but the all clear signal doesnt get sent out so they wait in vain till its on the news how much the market has recovered and then youll here DJI 15000 or higher. But will that be the time to buy in? Or is it now with DJI at 13000?Time will tell.

WMT stock has been performing well compared to many this year ,it seems to be in the news so it will probably pull back some before it continues upward.So buy more on the dip, if a dip happens,unless some negitive news or a down grade comes out on WMT it is a buy especially in this slow economic slow down when people are shopping and trying to save some money and get discounts by shopping at Wall Mart stores/ Sams club and Costco type of retailers.But some analysts will probably try to find a problem with, some might say its overbought and due for a pull back or there is a law suit pending etc, so they can downgrade it and make stock fall.If a company stock is doing good someone ,will usually try to sabatoge it, just to mess with its good fourtune when so many are having a hard time in this economic slow down. Its chart looks good trending up from left to right and that is a good story chart wise.I reasd a analysts upgraded WMT price target to 55. WMT is there allready closed firday 4-11 at $54.80 wouldnt a target price of $60 a share be a better target going forward for 08 another $5 up on the stock seems to me to be doable ,no problem if the trend in the stocks price continues?

You either want to invest in the solar sector for the long term potential or your just tradeing them in the short term for short term profits not really investing in the companies.Buying them on a dip and then selling them on the rallys up.What will you do if they keepgoing up? Your just renting the stock from the long term investors that are buying them and holding them.

Iam bullish on the solar sector going forward into the future,there still is those who dought solars future clean energy possibilies and opportunites.Solar energy seems to me to be the best clean energy way to go. Solars energy source of supply, the Sun is unlimited ,so supply will always be there where ever the sun is shining through.

Seems to me the Solar sector has a Sunny future as I read more and more of the expansion of the Solar energy/clean energy as more and more are going green.The interest and use and momentum is building in the Solar sector/Clean energy sector.I remember back in the 80's when the Networking sector began to come to life.Novel was one of the first, then shortly after CISCO Systems came public.At first I remember there were alot of doughters about Networking that it wasnt going to succeed but as we see now Networking has made many investors rich. I started buying CSCO back in the 90's after it came public and we all know the story of CSCO Since then.But as I listened to the negitve news about Networking at its begining on how it wasnt going to make it and even Barrons had some negitive articles on the Networking sector back in the 90's we see they missed it big time at the begining, of course they changed there stories after it was confirmed that Networking sector,CSCO,as the best play, was a success and the wave into the future to make huge amount of money on your investing. If one invested $10,000 in CSCO after it came public and just held the stock today that investor would be a millionaire today.So why Im I talking about the Networking sector you ask? Because as was the Networking Sector born, invented, I now look for another Sector here in 2008 that may have simmular beginings, upside potential.Cautious News, not sure if its going to work or not etc.not everyone is onboard the sector yet, still early , sector up and down then up , like the Networking sector began before its huge surge up ,a sector that may turn out to be big winners big time. Like CSCO ,and the Internet companies.I remember when there was dought that the invention of the Internet had its doughters also and was saying it wasnt going to be successful in the begining. There is allways dought and unbelief in a new investments or new sectors but the ones who believe in it and invest in it for the long term and it turns out to be a winner are the ones who make the big money.So as I look at the Solar Sector it seems to me to have alot of Positive Potential going forward simmular to what the Networking sector had many years ago. So how does one put money to work in the Solar sector? Is there a Solar ETF? Or a Solar Mutual Fund? Im looking but I havnt found one yet. There is the PBW but its not 100% Solar. So that leaves one with the only option of investing in the Solar socks doesnt it. So one would of course want to put there money to work in the best Solar Company stock, that have the most Sunny future.As some networking companies had buy ratings on them ,there where some with aviod on them same probably goes for the Solar stocks. Some will do better than oters.Invest in the best Solar stocks and when the Solar ETF becomes available ,sooner or later, then that will be a good way to invest in the Solar Wave.Recently looking at the charts the Solar stocks made the highs in January 08 and sold off with the broader market correction to the march lows and the charts are showing them as rebounding back up with the over all market from there march lows.So again it seems to me Solar has a bright future so dont knock it, either your in or not ,why not just join in and perhaps the Solar sector will be the top ,best performer in 08 and beyond. If not Solar then what else has more upside potential ?The Solar story, seems to me to be for real, and seems to be at the begining stage,why not invest some money in it?

Let US remember the Agriculutre and Fertilizer business is businesses that are about food for Humans and for animals and Fuel and Chemical etc, not just in the U.S. but Globally. They are a international play on the Demand for there products that are needed and that the supply isnt that much. Concrening MON and MOS,I hear good things about them, I own both and also POT.and expect there businesses to keep on doing good for the short and long term.Visit there web sites and read all about there company instaed of just looking at there stock. They are good quality companies highly rated. So why sell them why not just hold them and dollar cost average over the long term and buy even more on any dips. It seems that the day traders are playing these stocks do to there recent voilatility. Buying on dips and rideing them up and when rallys stall out they sell them and wait to buy back at low of dip.Its plian to see they are tradeable if thats what one want to do.But I look at them as a long term holding in companies with a bright future and future good earnings reports to continue. There is always someone who will be bearish on them for some reason. Look also at the DBA sure its had a big run up but corn,soybeans,sugar,wh... still has a big demand and should continue to trend up its just had a pull back do to some pulling there money out and putting it somewhere else not because they think the DBA wont continue in a long term uptrend.We all got to eat here in the U.S. and Globally. So food is in great demand. Thomas
