Water Energy Stocks Alert: Hong Kong Water Supplies Department Chooses Itron's (NASDAQ:ITRI) Water Metering Technology

October 28, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors including water stocks reports on water metering news issued today by Itron, Inc (NASDAQ:ITRI). The stock is trading at $37.40, up 0.21 (0.56%) 11:41AM EDT, with a morning high of $37.58.

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI) announced today that it will provide Hong Kong Water Supplies Department (WSD) with 400,000 highly accurate, residential water meters over a period of two years beginning in late 2011. The project is building on Hong Kong WSD's water conservation objectives.

As an island, Hong Kong faces limited water reserves and relies primarily on Dongjiang in Guangdong, a province in Southern China, for its water supply. With supply and storage constraints, a highly populated service territory, and increasing water demand, Hong Kong WSD needs to address these challenges by closely monitoring and managing its water resources.

One of the primary ways for Hong Kong WSD to achieve this effectively is to raise customer awareness of the value of water in effort to lower usage of this precious natural resource. Itron is helping Hong Kong WSD address these issues by delivering 400,000 volumetric water meters that provide reliable measurement and accurate invoices for end-consumers.

"This contract with Hong Kong WSD directly aligns with our vision to deliver water resource management solutions tailored to the Asia-Pacific region,” said Marcel Regnier, Itron president and COO, Water. "We are already successfully helping water providers in Macao, Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines better manage limited water supplies, and now, with our technology, the Hong Kong water department will achieve its conservation and consumer awareness goals.”

Point Roberts, WA - October 27, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research, releases a trading alert for China BAK Battery, Inc. (NasdaqGM: CBAK). The stock is trading up at $1.02, up 0.1750 (20.71%) 1:40PM EDT.
The stock is up just in time as the company reported today it has received a staff deficiency notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market informing the Company that its common stock has not met the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Company did not meet NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement because the closing bid price for its common stock for each trading day in the 30-business day period from September 12, 2011 to October 21, 2011 was less than $1.00 per share. The notification letter stated that China BAK will receive 180 calendar days, or until April 23, 2012, to regain compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. During this compliance period, the closing bid price for China BAK's common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days for the Company to regain compliance. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this period, it may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance by filing a listing application to transfer its common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market and satisfying certain other requirements. The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. China BAK's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "CBAK."

Renewable Energy Stock Alert: What Happened to First Solar (FSLR)?

Point Roberts, WA - October 27, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research, releases an investor alert for solar stock First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGS: FSLR) following its collapse this week.

Solar expert, J. Peter Lynch, who provides ongoing commentary on solar stocks at Investorideas.com, had this to say" First Solar (FSLR) was down almost 25% on Tuesday when the company announced that their Chairman was replacing the current CEO.
This event cannot be the whole story - but the company stock continues to drop from its high this year of $174.00. I am sure that the company is being affected by decreasing margins and the usual uncertainty about U.S. tax subsidies and treasury grants.
Regardless of what is causing the stock to go down, it really does not matter. I said in early September that the stock was NOT a buy at $98.00 and it is certainly not a buy at this juncture. The stock continues to produce lower tops and lower tops - very negative technically.
Will it turn around or not? We will see, but the stock will have to put in a much broader base and show some positive action before anyone who is serious would give this stock a serious look."
Peter also announced his bottom fishing buy list this week for solar stocks: WFR, JASO, JKS, YGE, SOL.
