    I was a little unclear whether these actually were intended as recommendations . . . ?

  • Solar Stocks: Nine That Will Shine in a Bull Market
    This is a bit off the topic, but I'm interested in gathering relatively simple ideas for energy conservation, on an individual, local, state and Federal level. I live in a city which is making a strong effort to improve energy usage, and yet I've been coming across seemingly-obvious ideas that no one here has mentioned. (Often, I might say, in posting sentences which start "those hysteria-mongers will never get ME to change my lifestyle at all until they at least bother to do . . . " and the sentence ends with a great idea!) I'm sure there are useful sites, but I don't know what they are. Suggestions?

  • Solar Stocks: Nine That Will Shine in a Bull Market
    This is a good discussion, although I find myself reluctant to read anything written in a nasty way. I'm sure you lose readers that way. Now for my own very strong opinion:

    We need to put vast resources, money, and scientific energy into clean, renewable energy and the task of making it safe, without noxious side effects, etc. We simply have to succeed.

    Remember Three Mile Island? According to the official study, it was either due to design error, operation/material error (I've forgotten the exact words for this one), or human error.

    In other words, they narrowed everything conceivable or possible down to -- everything possible or conceivable. I was so reassured.

    It's always possible to overlook something, no matter how thorough the preparation. Next to this, even the very serious problem of nuclear waste becomes relatively unimportant.

    The panalties for even one failure being what they could be -- nuclear's just too dangerous.

    Safe (or easily made-safe, or even penalties-for-failure-... technologies just cannot be "too expensive" -- we're talking survival, minimization of climate change -- really, our grandchildren's lives.

  • First Solar Vulnerable to a Tellurium Shortage?
    From a new investor w/o much knowledge of geology and chemistry:

    Well! I was about to post a question -- namely, why sell immediately avoid a total loss? It doesn't seem warranted from the article itself, and for someone like myself (expecting a serious correction or bear market) it makes a lot of difference whether it is real soon, a few months,, or a few years.

    I decided to check the comments first. Glad I did! Here are a few comments not made yet.

    1. If Mr Anthony is the maldoer (I just coined that) suggested here, that would explain it. And the 2-3 mos. he mentions in a preceding comment might be enough to cover his shorts (altho isn't it now 60 days' max?). But please note that he is forthright about his short position.

    2. I thought his article seemed knowledgeable and plausible right up until that last paragraph. Why is Seeking Alpha negligent for not being aware of a problem (assuming there is one)? Seems unfair to them. Do they do peer reviews? I assume not, since these articles are turned out very fast. (In fact, I've also assumed that's the reason for lots of grammar-and-so-forth errors in these fin. articles, many made by clearly articulate and literate writers.)

    3. If he's all he's supposed to be, Seeking Alpha should be informed -- in particular, of the accusations made by User 123811. Please do tell them; ingenues like myself need protection from that sort of thing.

    4. At one point it seems as if the order of postings was reversed. Mr. Anthony first tells us where to buy Tellurium, and then states he won't tell us. Sounded really out of it until I noted that the order of the posts had been reversed. That's also worth mentioning to Seeking Alpha, although it might well just be a one-time glitch.

    I do hope you all keep the rest of the comments on this site. Moving it elsewhere would be a disservice to most of us.

    BTW: As a woman, I can easily understand using more than one pseudonym, and/or changing them. (On the other hand, I thought that talking back and forth to yourself by using different names was only done as a joke, on stage -- or at press conferences.)

    I don't have more time for this, but will try to check back later to see if there are responses to my comments and the implied associated questions . . .
