    "You need steel" no matter the improvement project, the fund manager said. Steel producers comprise the largest portion of the portfolio, at about 9% of assets. "What's most important," Dzierwa noted, "is that this is a fully-integrated steel company. CSN has its own internally generated iron ore -- and we've seen how iron ore [prices] have been behaving -- in addition to steel."
    Iron ore is the key material used to make steel, and its largest producers -- Brazil's Companhia Vale do Rio Doce and Anglo-Australian mining firms Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton Ltd -- have boosted their prices by at least 71% over the last year.
    "[CSN] is producing steel at the same time as raw material, so it is not exposed to price fluctuations," Dzierwa said. "It helps manage margins much better than if you were at the mercy of an outside supplier."

  • Cleveland Cliffs Should Have Rallied, Not Plunged 17% [View article]
    Another case of strange drop in price: (SOL) Renesola...

    Nice article, but one stock the analysts will have it right in the very near future: (SOL) Renesola is an amazing buy for first thing Monday morning ... all the analysts actually love SOL...

    Even 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 computer 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's article in June practically audited SOL, and its clean balance sheet, and they love it. They don't put their name on just any company.

    Last week's drop was clearly a case of throwing the baby (amazing SOL) 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...
