Water Stocks Investor Alert: Mueller Water Products (NYSE:MWA) Closes up 21% on News

March 9, 2012 - www.investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks issues a news and trading alert for Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA). The stock closed up at $3.45, up 0.60 or 21.0% on volume of 6,242,190 shares, making it a top percentage gainer on the NYSE for Thursday’s session.

The Company reported Thursday it signed a purchase agreement to divest United States Pipe and Foundry Company, LLC and Fast Fabricators, LLC (together "U.S. Pipe") to an affiliate of Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd.  a Chicago-based private equity firm with offices in Dallas, Detroit and Toronto, the Company announced today. Partnering with Wynnchurch in the transaction is the Comvest Group, a leading private investment firm focused on providing equity and debt capital to lower middle-market companies.
"The divestiture of U.S. Pipe enables us to focus on our higher-margin businesses and newer technology initiatives," said Gregory E. Hyland, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products. "We believe that with this enhanced focus, the true potential of these initiatives will become more apparent to both our customers and stockholders. The ductile iron pipe business has been volatile, which has negatively impacted our financial performance and, we believe, masked the true value of our overall business. We have a solid platform for growth, and we believe the financial flexibility generated from the sale of U.S. Pipe, coupled with our strategic vision, will increase our ability to more profitably grow our business."

J Peter Lynch’s Solar Portfolio Closed out - Outperforms Market by 412%

New York, New York- March 7, 2012- Solar stocks report at Investorideas.com
Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors releases solar stocks commentary from solar expert, J Peter Lynch.   Mr. Lynch discusses the solar stocks portfolio  performance for 2012, his current positions sold out and his outlook for the sector.

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/

Current Status
Our portfolios two remaining positions - CSIQ (600 shares) and LDK (500 shares) were closed out on Monday CSIQ @ $3.50 and Tuesday LDK @ $5.25 after they hit their respective stop loss prices.
The final status of the 2012 portfolio was a gain of 18.98% with a holding time of 9 weeks.
Since the date 1/11/2012 we started the portfolio the solar sector as a whole, including our portfolio stocks is down an average of -7.8% vs our portfolio gain of +18.98%.
The market in general during this period is UP an average of 4.6% with our solar portfolio outperforming the general markets by over 400% (412%).
Stop Loss Points
We sold all the positions in our portfolio when they hit their stop loss points that were set very close due to the fact that the market was very over bought and overdue for a correction.
We adhered to our system and did not question whether to sell or not. If one of our positions hit the designed stop point we sold – without question. By doing this we minimized our losses and rode our gains as far as we could.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember – the number one rule of investing:
Minimize your LOSSES and Maximize your GAINS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market Psychology
The HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. That is why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.
Trust in your system and follow it regardless of what you think “should happen”. Once you try to impose your will on your portfolio you will stop paying attention to what is most important - “what is” NOT what you think it should be.
Remember this system has enabled us to significantly outperform the rest of the solar sector and the general markets in 2010 and 2011:
Summary Performance

2010: Solar Portfolio outperforms markets by 310%
Solar Portfolio   + 42.94%
Solar Industry Average   -14.2%
Major Markets Average   + 13.87%

2011: Solar Portfolio outperforms markets by 1,416%
Solar Portfolio   + 17.56%
Solar Industry Average   - 70.3%
Major Markets Average   + 1.24%
General Market Comments
Today the market had a big down day and may have started the correction that I was anticipated.
At this point the general market is still looking like this will only be a correction and that once it has run its course the markets advance will continue. Since solar stocks as a whole have much higher volatility (beta) than the general markets I would expect them to fall further than the market and perhaps give us another buying opportunity later this year..
Keep in mind that periodic corrections are normal in the stock market – what was NOT normal is for the market to be sharply up, without a correction since October 2011.
Background Analysis Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis – this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right.  This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis – this form of analysis will tell you “when” to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

Natural Gas and Nanotechnology; How 3M (NYSE:MMM) and Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) are Changing the Game

Advancements into the natural gas transportation fuel market

New York, NY – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investor’s reports on developments in nanotechnology that can be a potential game changer in the natural gas sector. In February 3M (NYSE:MMM) and Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) announced news on a new partnership to create a CNG Tank, incorporating 3M’s nanotech technology.

As oil prices move higher, it makes perfect sense for this partnership to forge ahead and make advancements into the natural gas transportation fuel market. 3M is a leader in nanotech technology and Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) is the second-largest producer of natural gas; a perfect marriage.

According to the press release, “The new CNG tanks developed through the 3M and Chesapeake partnership will reduce costs while increasing performance. Less expensive tanks will enable greater market adoption of CNG as an alternative automotive fuel source. “

“We are excited about this collaboration to speed the development and adoption of natural gas-powered vehicles.”

3M’s CNG tank solution combines the company’s proprietary liner advancements, thermoplastic materials, barrier films and coatings, and damage-resistant films to transform the pressure vessel industry. Using nanoparticle-enhanced resin technology, 3M™ Matrix Resin for Pressure Vessels, 3M will create CNG tanks that are 10 to 20 percent lighter with 10 to 20 percent greater capacity, all at a lower cost than standard vessels. In addition to these benefits, the 3M technology produces safer and more durable tanks than those currently on the market. This tank innovation builds on 3M’s proven history of developing and introducing pioneering technologies to the market.

“3M believes in the potential of natural gas, and this agreement illustrates our commitment to the industry,” said George Buckley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3M. “We are excited about this collaboration to speed the development and adoption of natural gas-powered vehicles.”

“This partnership brings together two leading companies from different sectors, both committed to advancing the natural gas transportation fuel market,” said Aubrey K. McClendon, Chesapeake’s Chief Executive Officer. “We applaud 3M for recognizing the future of natural gas as a low-cost, cleaner alternative to gasoline, and for creating innovative tank technology that will make natural gas vehicles more affordable and accessible to fleets and individual consumers nationwide. Our country needs a solution to break the foreign stranglehold on our fuels market, and today’s announcement is another step to transition our nation away from costly imports.”

Chesapeake has pledged an initial $10 million toward design and certification services, market development support and a commitment to use the new tanks for its corporate fleet conversion to CNG. The company’s investment will be provided by Chesapeake NG Ventures Corporation (CNGV), established in 2011 to identify and invest in companies and technologies that will replace the use of gasoline and diesel derived primarily from foreign oil. CNGV has committed $1 billion over the next 10 years to help fund various initiatives to increase demand for natural gas, including investments totaling $300 million in Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NYSE:CLNE) and privately-held Sundrop Fuels, Inc.

J. Peter Lynch's Solar Portfolio Outperforms Market by 300%

New York, New York - March 5, 2012 - Solar stocks commentary; Investor Ideas www.Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors releases solar stocks commentary from solar expert, J Peter Lynch. Mr. Lynch discusses his portfolio of solar stocks ant their performance as of March 5th.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/
Current Status
Our portfolio currently has two remaining positions - CSIQ (600 shares) and LDK (500 shares). Of the two stocks LDK is the strongest as this time and in fact is the ONLY solar stock that is trading ABOVE both its 50 day moving average (short term positive) and its 200 day moving average (longer term positive).
The current status of the 2012 portfolio is an unrealized gain of 19.6% on the two positions remaining in the portfolio and a realized gain of 20.13% on the positions we have sold.
Since the date 1/11/2012 we started the portfolio the solar sector as a whole, including our portfolio stocks is down an average of -15.6% vs our portfolio gain of +20%.
The market in general during this period is UP an average of 6.94% with our solar portfolio outperforming by almost 300%.
Stop Loss Points
As a reminder below are the stop loss points I have selected based upon technical support levels in each stock. I have set these stop points very close, since, as I mentioned in the last article I did expect the markets to pull back due to the fact that they are short term overbought.
The stop loss points for the remaining stocks in our Solar Portfolio are.
CSIQ - $3.50
LDK - $5.25
Both of these stocks are approximately .25 cents from their stop points, so we will get quick sells or we will have to be patient to see if they turn around. If either of these stocks reaches these levels I would recommend selling that position.
-------------------------------------------------------
Remember - the number one rule of investing:
Minimize your LOSSES and Maximize your GAINS.
--------------------------------------------------------
Market Psychology
The HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. That is why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.
Markets fool the majority of investors by “Climbing a Wall of Worry” which is exactly what it is doing now. Once losses start and keep getting worse is when investors get on the “Slopes of Hope” and hope that their stock comes back – trust me, the “I hope my stock comes back” technique will NOT work. Trust in your system and follow it regardless of what you think “should happen”. Once you try to impose your will on your portfolio you will stop paying attention to what is most important - “what is” NOT what you think it should be.
Remember this system has enabled us to significantly outperform the rest of the solar sector and the general markets in 2010 and 2011:
Summary Performance
2010: Solar Portfolio outperforms markets by 310%
Solar Portfolio + 42.94%
Solar Industry Average -14.2%
Major Markets Average + 13.87%
2011: Solar Portfolio outperforms markets by 1,416%
Solar Portfolio + 17.56%
Solar Industry Average - 70.3%
Major Markets Average + 1.24%
General Market Comments
At the current time the market is still very extended above its 50 day moving average – a level which historically results in a pullback in the market closer to the 50 day moving average. As a result of this I have been setting our stop loss points very conservatively in order to make sure that when the correction comes we will still lock in healthy profits.
At this point the general market is STRONGER than the solar stocks as a whole, so when the market pulls back and corrects I would anticipate that our solar stocks will move down further than the market correction.
Keep in mind that periodic corrections are normal in the stock market – what is NOT normal is for the market to be sharply up, without a correction since October 2011. Background Analysis Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.

Water Stocks Alert: Cadiz (NASDAQ:CDZI) Trades up on News of Retaining Investment Banking Firm to Lead Water Project Construction Financing

New York, NY - February 28, 2012 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks issues a news alert for water stock, Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ:CDZI). The stock is trading up at 10.69 0.25 (2.39%), with a day's high of $10.96.
Investorideas.com Newswire

Cadiz Inc. (NASDAQ:CDZI) announced today that Hannon Armstrong Securities, LLC ("Hannon Armstrong"), an investment bank specializing in the financing of essential infrastructure assets in the United States, including next generation water, energy and telecommunication projects, will lead the Company through the construction financing process for the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery and Storage Project (the "Water Project"). The Water Project would provide a new, reliable water supply to Southern California residents by capturing and conserving groundwater currently being lost to evaporation from the aquifer system beneath the Company's 34,000-acre property in California's Mojave Desert.

For over three decades, Hannon Armstrong has been providing and arranging capital for companies and governmental entities seeking innovative, low-cost capital structures for new infrastructure assets. Hannon Armstrong has particular expertise in structuring and placing long term infrastructure project finance, including projects involving multiple governmental agencies. Last year Hannon Armstrong's $400 million Hudson Ranch 1 geothermal power project located in Imperial County, CA received the Project Finance Deal of the Year award from EuroMoney magazine.

The Water Project facilities include an expanded wellfield on the Company's property and a 43-mile underground water conveyance pipeline that would deliver conserved water to the Colorado River Aqueduct, one of Southern California's primary water distribution facilities. Capital costs for construction of the Water Project facilities are estimated at approximately $225 million and Hannon Armstrong expects that these facilities can be privately financed with lower-cost senior debt supporting a lower cost of water.

"Given the Water Project's sound fundamentals and Cadiz's strong asset position, opportunities exist to develop a comprehensive finance solution that will fund the capital requirements on terms customary for public water purveyors," said Jeffrey Eckel, President and CEO of Hannon Armstrong. "The finance solution will be an attractive investment opportunity for long-term investors, such as insurance companies and pension funds, seeking steady fixed-income returns."

Over the last 3 years, the Company has invested more than $15 million in development activities critical to designing a Project that once permitted will avoid environmental harm. The Company has sufficient cash on hand to continue to fund development activities throughout the entitlement phase. The Project is currently undergoing an environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). A Draft Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Water Project was issued in December 2011 by the Santa Margarita Water District, the Lead Agency for the CEQA review. A public comment period is open until March 14, 2012 and a Final EIR is expected to be issued once all comments have been considered and analyzed.

The Water Project is expected to provide numerous benefits for local communities throughout Southern California, including improvement of local water supply reliability, reduced demand for imported water from Northern California and certain economic improvements. According to a study published by Inland Empire economist Dr. John Husing in May 2011, the Water Project will support over 5,900 jobs, generate more than $878 million in economic activity in the Inland Empire, and infuse millions of dollars in tax revenue to local governments, including $5.4 million per year for San Bernardino County and approximately $613,000 per year for the Needles Unified School District.

About Hannon Armstrong

Hannon Armstrong Securities, LLC is a registered broker dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC that specializes in financing infrastructure assets by arranging capital for companies and governments that are solving the critical infrastructure issues of today.
