"If you hooked the U.S. Treasury market up to an electroencephalograph, you would see it flatlining." My favorite quote today is from the Trader Daily website. Yeah, I've been selling a few select stocks in the recent rally, but bonds have been painfully boring and, like a patient in the intensive care, you hope they…
I love anything counter-intutitive. The blog at Pajamas Media claims the Live Earth Concerts may release more carbon into the atmosphere than Afganistan in 2006. Because the vast majority of people attending these concerts would be out burning loads of fossil fuels in their cars, at the beach, attending some other electrified music event or flying around anyway,…
Let's assume for a moment that we had it wrong. Since we started covering solar stocks at The Panelist, we've been working with the assumption that solar valuations appear stretched. Love him or hate him, Mad Money host Jim Cramer also added his voice to the emerging consensus that solar valuations have gone too far.…

The Senate resuscitates its immigration bill, S 1639, hoping to bring it to a final vote before their Independence week break – but not before senators from both sides of the fence get a chance to nip and tuck the bill (possibly to death) with votes on 24 amendments. Senators will start the week, however,…
While we focus more on sea level investment opportunities through a socially responsible lens here at The Panelist, one cannot ignore the macro trends above sea level that are driving these opportunities. Less than two weeks ago, the U.S. Senate came out with their version of this year's Clean Energy Act, and just last week, the…

Lawmakers and securities regulators have been surprisingly silent on the recent alliance between the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext (the first trans-Atlantic securities exchange), and the future possibilities for mergers due to take place in Japan, India and other regional stock exchanges that the big board has under their radar.
Media headlines concerning climate change and the declining supplies of the world’s clean water have spawned an investment euphoria into water companies, utilities and the mutual funds that invest in them. Investment analysts have been forecasting that opportunities related to water in the 21st century could rival the same opportunities oil offered in the 20th…
If anyone were to ask me what company represents the fight for a greener planet, I would have to say Waste Management Inc., (WMI-NYSE), trading just below $40 per share.

Do you have the risk tolerance for a renewable energy ETF?
Photo:bear69designs, Creative Commons, Flickr Historically, Venezuela has a love/hate, mutual abuse relationship with foreign companies. Venezuela seems to nationalize its foreign partners every 30 years or so and, as the last time it happened was in the seventies, it would seem that we are due. Now, I don't know all the details behind the negotiations that made…
Another day, another note on a Chinese solar stock. With the exception of SolarFun (SOLF – Last trade $9.69), I still feel that the market hasn't separated the winners from the losers in the Chinese solar crowd. Is Trina Solar (TSL – Last trade $47.12) a winner? Today's trading was very interesting, with TSL suddenly…
