Surprising Investment Opportunities in Cleantech / Companies / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Cleantech goes far beyond solar power, according to Shawn Severson. As a managing director of cleantech research with ThinkEquity in San Francisco, he finds mainstream companies poised to cash in on common-sense technologies that save energy and money. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Shawn makes the case that cleantech is as much about saving money as it is about saving the environment.

Five Tech ETFs to Look at Now / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Ron_Rowland
You can always count on one thing in the technology sector: Change! The cutting-edge inventions that fascinated us so much back in the 1990s are de rigueur now. Where will we be in ten years? I can only imagine.

By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
With more than 8,790 publicly traded stocks on U.S. exchanges and another 7,000 or so listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and the pink sheets, it's not particularly difficult to find stocks you wouldn't want to buy. It's not even that hard to find stocks with numbers so bad they're good short-sale candidates.

By: Graham_Summers
Here’s a news story that summates the US economy’s problems rather well:
The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.

Expected Breakout for Barrick Gold Corp ABX / Companies / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Why did we add Barrick Gold Corp (ABX) into strength after it was up 3% from today's spike low at 44.76? Because the sharp intraday recovery rally occurred after what looks to me like the completion of a significant correction off of the 47.55 high from 9/22.

Cisco Breaking Out? / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Purely from a technical perspective, we can make the case that with the series of higher-highs and higher lows since the August 31 low at 19.82, Cisco (CSCO) is in the process of completing a pullback from Friday's recovery high at 22.25 (into today's low at 21.86). If accurate that means that the rally off of this morning's low is the start of a new upleg that should hurdle 22.25 on the way to 22.50 next.

Three Junior Potash Developers Are Sitting on Big Assets / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Richard_Mills
The United Nations estimates that the world's population will reach 7.7 billion by 2020 and 9.3 billion in 2050. Another United Nations estimate says that only 30% of the arable land in use in the 1950's will be available per person in 2050.

Four Reasons to Invest in ETFs And Five Ways to Get Started / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes: A mere 15 years ago, selecting the right exchange-traded fund (ETF) was no big challenge. That's because the first ETF wasn't introduced until 1993, and the second didn't follow until 1995. Since then, however, the growth rate among these versatile investment vehicles has been exponential - so fast, in fact, that the monitoring firm Morningstar now tracks the performance of 854 ETFs, with new funds being added almost weekly.

By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes:
When Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) last week announced that it would institute the first dividend in company history, it raised hopes among investors that hi-tech companies would finally begin to loosen the strings on their hefty cash holdings.
But will other tech giants really follow suit and institute dividends of their own?

Almost 200,000 people heading to the California gold fields crossed through what is now Nevada via the California Trail. Many camped close to the confluence of the Humboldt River and Maggie Creek in northeastern Nevada.
