What a difference a day makes in the market - Following the Fed the market reacted strongly to the upside with the Dow Jones industrial average up 156.86 points, (1.28 %), at 12,444.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index up 23.67 points, (1.68 %) at 1,434.61, The NASDAQ Composite Index up 47.71 points, (1.98 %) at 2,455.92.
Our site sometimes sees a trend before it happens and felt some of the pain in the market prior to the big drop in the Dow and then saw things gain momentum online before todays reaction .
Retail investor activity tells an interesting story if you listen.
The biggest thing we see, like the market, is how global and reactive the markets have become and investors think more short term than long term based on input from data. We think the smart investors think long term and wait out the short term volatility and market scares we have just felt to see better days like - today !

InvestorIdeas.com Adds New Investor Podcast- “Shrewd Speculators”; Market and Sector Commentary
Introductory "Shrewd Speculators” Podcast, with Kevin Sylla and Eric Axel; Discuss Mining, Oil and Gas Sectors
www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research resource portal specialized in sector investing news, stock directories and research links, has added a new Investor Podcast to its growing audio content. The launch of Shrewd Speculators; Market and Sector Commentary with Kevin Sylla and Eric Axel, opens the series with a discussion on the market, focusing in on mining and oil and gas sectors.
With the focus on global warming increasing as the awareness of the damage caused through the burning of fossil fuels has become apparent, uranium stocks have benefited as the bid for nuclear power strengthens.
Eric Axel describes, “The run for many uranium stock prices has been enormous, on average between 80-100%, and with uranium companies expanding I think there is still a run left in them. You do need to be selective and this of course always goes back management.”
Looking to the oil market both ‘speculators’ have a positive outlook on the sector. “I am very bullish on oil for several reasons. I think the geopolitical uncertainty and the nearing U.S. election will drive prices north of $70 per barrel. Short-term I think pure oil plays will continue to do well going into the summer. As an investor I would look for oil and gas service companies as my number one priority,” states Kevin Sylla.
The audience is invited to submit questions to the Shrewd Speculators for response in future podcasts. Please email all questions through: speculators@investorideas.com
Shrewd Speculators ( www.investorideas.com/ss/ ) hosts include Kevin Sylla, who currently serves as the Special Situations Director at Bathgate Capital Partners LLC (www.bathgatepartners.com), an innovative investment bank focused on providing comprehensive services to underexposed and undervalued micro cap companies.
Eric Axel is the Director of Special Situations with Perrin, Holden & Davenport (www.phdc.com), a full service brokerage and investment banking firm located in New York City.

Our newly added non profit to Investorideas.com-
Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) www.safepassage.org
If we are to believe the saying “you are what you eat”, then the families living in the Guatemala City dump are garbage. As we live our lives of manicured lawns and manicured nails in North America, the families of the Guatemala City dump wake up in huts built of cardboard or tin, landscaped with garbage and find their daily survival needs within the layers of the city dump.
Never before imagining leaving the boundaries of smell and decay, the children and families have been given a light of hope through Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) www.safepassage.org. The dream of empowering children and creating change through education started with founder Hanley Denning, who was tragically killed in a car accident in January 2007. Her vision of “creating opportunities and dignity through the power of education “lives on in the faces and the hearts of the children at Camino Seguro.
Thanks to my sister and niece (Darcy and Chelsea) who recently volunteered at the organization and fell in love with the children for bringing the cause to our attention.

The conference theme “Mining and Resources: Perspectives on gold, silver, copper, diamond, uranium, metals and other key mining segments” will be discussed by industry experts including Peter Grandich, Founder of Grandich Publications, LLC and Jon Nadler, Investment Products Analyst at Kitco, as well as presenting public companies. The conference is sponsored by well-known industry publication, Resource World Magazine.

Peter Grandich
Founder, Grandich Publications, LLC
With no formal education or training, Peter Grandich entered Wall Street and within three years was appointed Vice President of Investment Strategy for a leading New York Stock Exchange member firm. A prolific and often-quoted writer, he edited and published four investment newsletters.
Labelled the Wall Street Whiz Kid, Grandich gained national notoriety by being among the very few who not only forecasted the 1987 stock market crash just weeks before it happened, but on the very next day he predicted that within a year the market would reach a new all-time high – which it did. Proving his 1987 forecast was no fluke, Mr. Grandich said in January 2000 that the year 2000 will go down as the year the great mega bull market of the 80s and 90s came to an end.
Jon Nadler
Investment Products Analyst, Kitco Inc.
Mr. Jon Nadler's precious metals career encompasses 30 years of extensive client asset management, metals market analysis, and direct metals sales experience.

Jon has long-established business ties with all major governmental mints (US Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint), reputable precious metals dealers (Kitco, GoldMoney, Asset Strategies International), the precious metals wholesale trade, and industry membership organizations (the World Gold Council, The Industry Council on Tangible Assets).

For investors following oil sands stocks
As the oil and gas sector goes thru its ups and downs with the price of oil and new energy sources such as renewable and green tech are looked at - some oil industry analysts love the prospects of the oil sands stocks.
With environmental concerns being an issue see how the players are adjusting and track what is happening in some of the stocks drilling and buying properties in the sector.
According to a recent article in the Globe:
"Oil sands woes will be resolved, energy board says
DAVID EBNER
Sunday, January 28, 2007
Calgary — Alberta will overcome the difficult challenges facing oil sands development, the head of the provincial energy regulator says.
“I firmly believe this will be very well organized and deliberately planned on the part of everybody to ensure this resource is extracted properly. We will make sure of that, because as an organization we can't stand by and see it done otherwise,” Neil McCrank, chairman of the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, said in an interview.
In November and December, the board approved two new oil sands projects but both times warned that rapid expansion of the oil sands was reaching a critical point.
With roughly $100-billion of work planned for the region over the next decade, problems are everywhere in Fort McMurray, from a severe housing shortage that has made the remote city one of Canada's most expensive to extremely stressed health care facilities"

Three Tiny Mo-Mo Stocks for a Big Mo-Mo Market
By Michael BrushExclusively for InvestorIdeas.comJanuary 25, 2007
There’s so much bullishness in the market now as indices and many stocks hit all-time highs, you need to be careful. Often when bullishness gets to these extremes, a pullback providing better prices lies around the corner.
But if you insist on jumping on the bandwagon and buying stocks trading at or near all-time highs, why not go along with insiders who are doing the same?

Follow up on China Solar IPO's
from one of our columnists on Investorideas.com-
Solar IPO’s Boom in 2006
By Peter Lynch
for InvestorIdeas.com
January 19, 2007
In the past, a solar IPO (Initial Public Offering) was a rare event, with never more than 2 or 3 coming public in any given year. This past year, 2006, marks the beginning of a significant ramp up in solar IPO’s and more importantly, it is the beginning of serious financial resources coming into the solar industry which will allow the industry to continue its current robust growth. In fact, the 2006 solar IPO boom, really started in the last 6 weeks of 2005, when Sunpower (SPWR) and Suntech (STP) came public and are up 130% and 75% respectively since their IPO’s.
The days of the solar industry being an under funded “cottage industry” are over and with the onset of serious funding, a bright new future awaits us all.
advertisement Although once again, the photovoltaics (PV) sector has dominated the public financing arena, there have been a number of ethanol related IPO’s that have also started to trade their shares on the public markets in the U.S. Below is a break down of the PV IPO’s in terms of offerings that have been completed in 2006 and offerings that have filed (with the SEC) or rumored to go public in the very near future.

Proposed stock symbol: PWAT. Photowatt produces conventional PV panels from polysilicon and from recycled metallurgical grade silicon. It is partially owned by a Canadian public company, ATS Automation Tooling Systems (symbol:ATS.TO), which trades on the Toronto stock exchange. I would expect the IPO in the first or second quarter of 2007.

Proposed initial stock price: unknown. Market cap: unknown
Website: www.n-pv.com/english/index.asp
Notes:
The term “market capitalization” (market cap) is the total number of shares outstanding times the current stock price – this is an important number investors should be aware of since it is the value that the market is currently placing on the entire company. Thin Film technology is what I would describe as the “next generation” of PV technology. It will NOT be subject to silicon shortages and will allow much lower cost of manufacturing.

Thin Film technology is what I would describe as the “next generation” of PV technology. It will NOT be subject to silicon shortages and will allow much lower cost of manufacturing.

Going Green - Investing in Renewable Energy- Fashionable or Necessary?
We started RenewableEnergyStocks.com® years ago based on a long term philosophy in the energy sector and also influenced by issues like Homeland Security that it was only a matter of time that the transition in energy technology would take place as oil prices became higher and the countdown to a diminishing oil supply got closer . We knew it could be years – up to ten maybe- but it was inevitable that the transition would come as the technology improved and the costs for producing renewable and clean energy came down. Throw in the global growth engine fuelled by China and India and the resulting environmental damage and accelerated climate changes and we have the perfect climate so to speak or companies to go green and so investors must follow.
In fairness, there has been a global following for the sector for some time, but it has now reached the minds and trading accounts of mainstream investors that aren’t all investing with their hearts.
It is an exciting time as the momentum is coming from government and industry to make this revolutionary change .
We like to pat ourselves on the back that we were here and around before the copy cat sites for Renewableenergystocks.com jumped on the bandwagon. We are still the leader on Google, Yahoo , MSN and AOL if you are searching for info on “renewable energy stocks”
We think our upcoming Greentech Investor Conference "Investing in the Environment: Global Warming, Global Warning – Investing Today for Tomorrow’s Future" will be another milestone for our site in terms of providing research resources and information for investors and industry looking at the sector
Register early- its free – not like some of the conferences where visitors have to pay- this is free to investors – like most of our info

But as always , remember even if you are doing what you think is the right thing by investing in Green companies, there is risk and you may loose a little green if you don’t do your homework .
