On Tuesday, April 24, I went to a screening of a PBS Frontline episode on global warming at Goldcrest Post Screening Room. The title of the show was “Hot Politics,” and the show examined why the US government has failed to take appropriate measures to combat the issue of global warming.
Earlier this month Joe Nocera of The New York Times (NYT) published an article entitled “Well-Meaning But Misguided Stock Screens” about the socially responsible investment (SRI) industry. He argues not that SRI produces lower financial returns – in fact, asserting that many funds have done well or even outperformed non-SRI funds – but that they…
Nine months ago, Popular Mechanics wondered aloud why the automotive industry couldn't develop a car that could get 100 miles to the gallon. While progressive-minded individuals have reached triple digits on occasion by mixing solar energy with a traditional powertrain, no automaker has taken the initiative to mass produce an eco-friendly and reliable model. The…
On April 17, Evergreen Solar (ESLR – Last trade $10.72) announced a polysilicon supply contract with Korean company DC Chemical. Some analysts have been skeptical about the true costs and benefits of the supply contract and, with earnings from the supply contract not expected to have an impact until 2009, impatient traders have dumped the…
It would be nice if, in today’s world, ethical practices, including environmentally friendly practices, meant high profits. But in the case of Exxon Mobile (XOM), the biggest of big oil companies, the opposite is true.
Ever wondered how you'd ever get around without a rental car on long road trips or when your vacation destination doesn't have a subway system? More families and budget-conscious travelers may have to find out for themselves as Avis and Hertz continue to raise rental car prices that have already escalated almost 20% in the last two…
Remember when you used to dream about taking the field for your favorite professional sports team? You spent hours in the backyard rehearsing how you'd come through in clutch situations, neglecting the homework you'd never need to do anyway once you signed your first big contract. Unfortunately for most of us, the dream faded relatively…
Every day seems to bring yet another round of pet food recalls, and even the ASPCA recently issued an urgent alert stating that the pet food crisis isn’t over and nobody knows anything, including what’s actually poisoning pets.

The number of women in charge of Fortune 1000 companies is pathetically low. However, they are leading a more diverse mix…
In honor of Earth Day, here is a list of 50 things we can do to stop global warming. Feel free to brag about all the ways in which you save the world from imminent destruction, as well as the ways in which you are an environmentally irresponsible monster (I'll start):
A few days ago, Energy Conversion Devices (ENER – Last trade $36.19) announced that they will have a "corporate update conference call." This was seen as a notable development, given that the company has never released its results until mid-May. Option traders got excited and on April 18 over 11,500 calls were traded. The stock…
Unless you've turned off your TV or sworn off the Internet for the past couple of weeks, you probably know about the recent Don Imus controversy. If you haven't heard about it, the long-time radio shock jock made an off-hand comment on the air about the Rutgers women's basketball team, referring to the predominantly African-American…
According to a press release by EuroStar, the operator of trains crossing under the English Channel on their way between The Continent and Britain, Eurostar travel between Paris and London is ten times less polluting than flying. However, we at The Panelist are not just green but greedy too. Previous Page: Photo: jahovil, Creative Commons,…
It still makes no economic sense to install a solar power system for your home, but solar stocks continue to skyrocket higher and higher.

It is no mystery that America’s Big 3 automakers are in critical condition right now, they have clearly entered uncharted waters. Foreign automakers, particularly from Japan, have weighed down on the Big 3’s former stronghold on the global auto industry and are now posing serious threats to become the new leaders. Since 2005, net losses…
I just opened a 529 College Savings account for my 7 week-old son while bouncing him on my knee. I had been thinking of doing this for a long time and I’m glad I can check it off my list of things to do. I was very surprised by how reluctant I was to finally…
I just looked at my Coca Cola Inc (KO) Proxy Statement for the annual meet to take place on Wednesday April, 18 2007 in Wilmington, Delaware and was disgusted by how much Board of Coca-Cola decided to pay the CEO. But I will keep holding the stock. I think it’s going higher.
Stockholders should pay close attention to whether American Airlines' new gender marketing campaign to attract more women travelers will add revenue or crash and burn in a cash-squeezed industry.
There is part of the U.S. tax code that has always annoyed me.
You are leading a double life.
