Questions regarding Solar Stocks and meaning of Relative Strength
J Peter Lynch
I have received a number of e-mails since we started publishing our solar stock ratings table and the majority of the questions center around the term "relative strength".

As readers have seen in my year end article that the strongest "relative" solar stocks dramatically outperformed the markets in 2010, 42.94% to 13.87% , while the average solar stock actually decreased (-14.6%) in 2010, this is significant out performance and certainly worthy of note.
Most people seem to understand what relative strength means, on the surface - that one stock is stronger "relative" to another stock or that one stock is stronger "relative" to the market as a whole.
I use a proprietary method for measuring and comparing stocks to stocks and stocks to the market as a whole and I am sure there are other methods available that can be utilized that I am not aware of.
However, I have always found that an "example" is ALWAYS better than a bunch of words. So I have picked an example that will CLEARLY show the power of this selection process and how truly valuable it can be to investors, especially over the longer term.
I will compare two IDENTICAL portfolio of stocks
The first is the Standard and Poors 500 � symbol SPX
The second is the Rydex Standard and Poors 500 Equal weighted � symbol RSP
Both include the EXACT SAME 500 stocks except that the SPX is CAP (capitalization weighted) so that the largest stocks hold for a larger weight i.e. percentage of the total 500 stocks and the other, RSP in which EACH stock has an equal weight in the index.
When I compared these two indexes to each other I found that in early 2000 that my system indicated that the RSP had just turned positive against the SPX � which means it was the stronger (relative to each other) of the two.
To see how significant this indication was I went back to 1/1/2000 and compared the performance of both up to the close yesterday 1-19-2011 � over a ten year + period.
The results were:
SPX was down 12.69% over this decade long period and the RSP was UP 69.92% over the exact same time period with the exact same stocks included. Amazingly the RSP outperformed the SPX by over 650% in that period.
I think this illustration is a crystal clear example of how significant it is for an investor to make sure they invest in the "strongest" stocks relative to markets and to their peers and not just what they hear in the press or on TV that tells them what is "hot". The most important thing is to see what stocks or groups are the strongest relative to others and bet on those. Bet on "what is" NOT on what people think "emotionally" are the best stocks.
Remember what I said in my year end article:
"Let me give you a totally NON logical example that will make it clear that guessing and perhaps "logical" are not really good tools for an investor. I think I can safely say that the top topics for 2010 and the ones that are on everyone's mind are: jobs, the economy, the housing crisis and the persistent recession as it drags on. So, given that background, what do you think were the top 3 market sectors in 2010 in terms of returns for investors?
Give up? Can't even guess?
Well they were:

1. Autos
2. Restaurants
3. Leisure

All of them are consumer related and we all KNOW (for sure?) that this is a terrible recession and that the economy is in bad shape and that it would be impossible for consumer related areas to do well, right?
Wrong! They not only did well they were the best 3 areas.
So what can we learn from this?
What we can learn is that an investor has to STOP thinking they KNOW what "should be" given the circumstances as the investor sees them and realize that the most important thing is NOT what you think should be but "WHAT IS". If umbrella sales are going thru the roof during a massive drought � forget about what you "know" � BUY umbrella stocks!"

"Solar Seven Lead the Solar Sector Roaring into 2011", J. Peter Lynch

The Market in 2010
Solar Stocks and Market Commentary with J Peter Lynch
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York � January 12, 2011 � www.Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new commentary from solar contributor, J. Peter Lynch, reporting on the "solar seven" stocks he follows and charts.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch -
Read other articles, Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com: http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
As we all know by now, 2010 was not a good year for solar stocks. In fact, the solar sector was the worst performing sector for the year - down an average of 14.6% in a very good year (up 13.87% on average) for the market.

Throughout the year we have discussed that it was important to buy stocks that were the leaders in their sector � i.e. the strongest relative to the market and to their peer solar stocks. In fact, the seven stocks that I picked as the leaders � the solar seven, were up an average of 42.94% more than 300% better than the general market averages in 2010.
This concept of relative strength is one of many forms of stock analysis that one can utilize, but one characteristic of relative strength is that it tends to continue for a longer period of time - i.e. the strong get stronger and will generally lead the group in the beginning of a turnaround and will many times be the last to drop in the beginning of a decline.
So has been the case for our "solar seven" � so far in 2011 they have once again dramatically outperformed the market more than 10 fold - 18% to an average of 1.5%.

Symbol	Current Price	%Change YTD
JASO	7.8	12.72
JKS	25.94	28.93
LDK	12.39	22.43
SOL	10.77	23.23
SOLF	9.14	11.87
SOLR	10.66	16.89
TSL	26.32	12.38
Average Gain		18.35%
Major Indexes
S&P 500	1274.48	1.34
Dow Jones	11671.88	0.82
NASDAQ	2716.83	2.41

There is no real way to determine whether or not they will continue to outperform the market and their peers, but historically the odds are on the side of the strongest stocks and trying to figure out why they are the strongest or how long they will be is, in my opinion, a waste of time.
One of the best ways to make money in the market is to cut your losses quickly and let your profits run - i.e. the strongest stocks. In the end you will do very well indeed. You will, on average, have a certain number of stocks with small losses and another number of stocks with larger gains and on average a very successful portfolio.

Visualant Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) CEO Discusses Environmental, Agricultural and Environmental Applications for Technology

Q&A Interview with CEO of Visualant Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL); Applications and Licensing Opportunities for Authentication Technology


Point Roberts, WA- January 10, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research, presents a Q&A interview featuring Mr. Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board of Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL). Mr. Erickson discusses the bigger picture and the broad range of applications and licensing opportunities for its authentication /signature technology.
Interview:

Q: Investorideas.com

Ron, first of all can you explain to investors the basis of your patent pending technology so they can begin to understand the possibility of expanding into new industry sectors?


A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
Our proprietary technology, we call it Spectral Pattern Matching or SPM, analyzes color at the photon level. SPM “sees” color both within the humanly visible portion of the spectrum, and in the near infra-red and the near ultra-violet. Our proprietary algorithms store this color data is in our proprietary database. These unique signatures, now stored in the database, create the base line for future authentication and diagnostic processes. With that as a foundation, then just let your imagination run free! Where can color be used as an authenticator? Where can color be used as a diagnostic tool? Candidly, as we move our SPM Developer’s Kit into the marketplace, we want our customers to look creatively at new ways to deploy our technology.


Q: Investorideas.com

The primary focus for your technology is security and defense but other key sectors include environmental, agricultural and medical. Can you give us some examples of how that can be implemented and also what are the prospects for each of these sectors? There is a lot of buzz around the agricultural sector for example – do you see that as a big opportunity for the company?

A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board

You and I make many judgments based upon our human perception of color. We go into our garden and say, “That plant looks ready to eat, that plant looks like it needs water, or that plant looks sick.” In essence, our SPM technology can do that same thing, remotely. We are looking at a number of unique applications in the agricultural arena.


Q: Investorideas.com

You just announced this week that the Company has entered into a license agreement with Seattle-based Javelin LLC ("Javelin") for development of environmental diagnostic applications of its Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology. Can you give investors more detail as to what this lays the foundation for?


A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board

In many ways, the license with Javelin, for environmental applications of SPM, is a template for use with many other licenses we hope to secure. We want third parties to explore ways of exploiting SPM technology. The more smart people we have working on deploying our technology the greater the opportunity for Visualant to be the success we believe it can be. A typical license will include a market rate royalty on gross revenues, along with certain negotiated equity and participatory interests for Visualant in the company who licenses our technology.







Q: Investorideas.com

In the overall business model, how do you see the roll out of licensing over the next two to five years?





A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board

To use the vernacular, licensing could become the tail that wags the dog In other words, licensing revenues are typically high margin, and it will have a more dramatic impact upon our bottom line than lower margin business units.





Q: Investorideas.com



In closing, what is in the pipeline that you can discuss publicly within your primary sector, security and defense?



A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board

I like to call our primary sector or focus, security and authentication. As we have indicated previously, we are looking at additional acquisition opportunities to expand upon the approximately $10 million of annual revenues we obtained with our TransTech security and authentication distribution acquisition. These include both smaller “tuck in” deals to expand TransTech and larger deals to expand TransTech geographic reach. We are also looking at some early SPM product opportunities in this sector.







About Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL)

Visualant, Inc. develops low-cost, high speed, light-based security and quality control solutions for use in homeland security, anti-counterfeiting, forgery/fraud prevention, brand protection and process control applications. Its patent-pending technology uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching (SPM). SPM technology can be miniaturized and is easily integrated into a variety of hand-held or fixed mount configurations, and can be combined in the same package as a bar-code or biometric scanner. www.visulant.net

2010 Great for the Stock Market and even better for certain Solar Stocks

The Market in 2010
Solar Stocks and Market Commentary with J Peter Lynch
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York � December 31, 2010 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new solar stocks commentary from solar contributor, J. Peter Lynch.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch -
Read other articles, Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com: http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
2010 was certainly a year to remember. It had its ups and it had it downs, but in the end it was up an average of 13.87% (averaging the three major indexes � see table below) that is a far better than the average year and despite a constant barrage of terrible news the market continued to climb its �wall of worry�.

With everyone worrying about jobs and the economy the year seemed to be a never ending sequence of one bad set of news after the other. But if there is one think I have learned over the years is NEVER to listen to the talking heads on TV or to the hundreds of �experts� all over the internet who tell you what is going to happen tomorrow based upon what has happened today. That is silly and also, more importantly, impossible. No one can know what is going to happen or why it is going to happen, if you pay close attention you will eventually see that everyone is clearly guessing and guessing is NOT one of the tools that a successful investor employs.
The Importance of seeing �What is� verses what we think �should� be
Let me give you a totally NON logical example that will make it clear that guessing and perhaps "logical" are not really good tools for an investor. I think I can safely say that the top topics for 2010 and the ones that are on everyone's mind are: jobs, the economy, the housing crisis and the persistent recession as it drags on. So, given that background, what do you think were the top 3 market sectors in 2010 in terms of returns for investors?
Give up? Can't even guess?
Well they were:

1. Autos
2. Restaurants
3. Leisure

All of them are consumer related and we all KNOW (for sure?) that this is a terrible recession and that the economy is in bad shape and that it would be impossible for consumer related areas to do well, right?
Wrong! They not only did well they were the best 3 areas.
So what can we learn from this?
What we can learn is that an investor has to STOP thinking they KNOW what "should be" given the circumstances as the investor sees them and realize that the most important thing is NOT what you think should be but "WHAT IS". If umbrella sales are going thru the roof during a massive drought - forget about what you "know" - BUY umbrella stocks!
The Best and the Worst of 2010
Now that you know the three best areas for investors in 2010, what was the worst area for investors in 2011?
The worst area for investors in 2011 was the solar sector, specifically the PV sector that we follow closely it was down and average of 14.6% in a very good year (up 13.87% on average) for the market.
Based upon this fact, it would be terrible to invest in this area for any sane investor? Correct?
Well in general, yes. If you bought each of our solar stocks you would have been down approximately 14.6% for the year. However, if you bought the "best" of the solar stocks - our solar seven, you would have been up an average of 42.94% more than 300% better than the general market averages.

Solar Seven Selection Criteria
Back in the beginning of 2010 I explained that we were rating all of our solar stocks and that the seven strongest stocks – later named – “The Solar Seven” were the strongest stocks among the industry. My rating system is a proprietary combination of various relative strength measures, technical measures and some fundamental components.
What can we learn from this amazing performance in a terrible solar market?
What we can learn is that there are always stocks going up somewhere, even in a terrible market and if you select the “strongest” stocks in a given market segment you will, on average, do quite well. Even if, they are umbrella’s in a drought – regardless of what you “think” you know, always remember that “what is, is” and always buy the strongest stocks in a sector or market. You may not always know “why” something happens, but you will, on average, do much better than most investors and most likely better than the market.

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase Technologies (OTC.BB:XDSL) Continues to Position Scalable Smart Reserve Cell Technology for 2011 Federal Funding

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - December 30, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL) announced today that it will recommence active efforts in January of 2011 to secure federal funding for its scalable smart reserve cell technology, one of the line items included in the Fiscal Year 2011 Defense Appropriations bill that was passed in the United States House of Representatives. Scalable Smart Reserve Cell Technology was listed to receive funding as part of the omnibus appropriations bill that failed to achieve a bipartisan compromise in the United States Senate in December of 2010, as part of the budget for the current 2011 fiscal year. Nevertheless, the Company is actively seeking to have such line item funding reintroduced in January of 2011, as part of early consideration in a defense appropriations bill for the 2011 fiscal year, and it is anticipated that it should be a high-priority item for the next Congress to augment to the temporary resolution that is currently funding the U.S. government.

"We are encouraged that the prior Congress has recognized the importance of this technology," said Mr. Ronald Durando, mPhase's President and Chief Executive Officer. The bill that was passed by the House of Representative in the last Congressional session is the first time Congress specifically designated funding for this type of technology. The Company continues to believe that it will be well positioned for a defense appropriations line item in the next Congress that convenes in January of 2011, given the company's leadership in the field.
The company is a leader in developing new innovative products using micro fluid dynamics, MEMS and super-hydrophobic suspension and separation of liquids on micro structures of silicon, developed through the science of nanotechnology. mPhase began using nanotechnology to develop power cells in 2004 with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Lucent Technologies, Inc.)
The Company has successfully delivered to the United States Army under a Phase II STTR grant a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery. "We believe that the successful delivery of a prototype of a first of its kind reserve battery designed for backup power for critical mission computer memory is vital in strategic weapons systems and sensor networks," said Durando. The company is positioned to custom tailor its Smart NanoBattery for a variety of military subsystems and critical mission commercial products. The Company is in the process of applying for new Phase I grants under both STTR and SBIR programs promulgated by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Department of Energy, as well as National Science Foundation grants.
About mPhase Technologies, Inc.
mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab on a chip analytic systems, self cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.
In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award winning product designed by PorscheDesign Studio and sold via the mPower website: http://www.mpowertech.com.

Solar Stocks News ; NRG (NYSE:NRG) to Acquire 290-Megawatt Agua Caliente Solar Project from First Solar (Nasdaq:FSLR )

Solar Stocks News ; NRG (NYSE:NRG) to Acquire 290-Megawatt Agua Caliente Solar Project from First Solar (Nasdaq:FSLR )



Project will be the largest photovoltaic solar field in the world when completed; Enhances NRG’s growing Arizona business
PRINCETON, N.J. & TEMPE, Ariz.--(www.investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire ) -- NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) and First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq:FSLR ) announced that NRG, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NRG Solar, has agreed to acquire the 290-megawatt (MW) Agua Caliente solar project from First Solar. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2014 and has a 25-year power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company. When completed, Agua Caliente is expected to be the largest operational photovoltaic (PV) site in the world.


Located in Yuma County, AZ, the Agua Caliente project is expected to generate state and local tax revenues, provide wages for up to 400 construction jobs and create economic benefits for many local businesses.
“Solar power is critical to transitioning our nation to having a greater emphasis on large-scale clean energy technologies and it is going to be projects of the scale of Agua Caliente that will help us achieve this ambitious goal,” said David Crane, President and CEO of NRG Energy. “This investment significantly increases our presence in the state and benefits the residents of Arizona while providing attractive returns to NRG’s stakeholders.”


At full capacity, NRG estimates the 290 MW project will provide clean, zero-emission electricity for more than 225,000 homes. The project is expected to offset approximately 5.5 million metric tons of CO2 over 25 years, the equivalent of taking over 40,000 cars off the road annually. Agua Caliente will generate electricity with no air emissions, no waste production and no water consumption.
“Agua Caliente is representative of our mission to provide clean, affordable, sustainable solar energy, capitalizing on our advanced thin-film technology and the tremendous solar resource of Arizona,” said Rob Gillette, CEO of First Solar. “We are very pleased to further expand our relationship with NRG as the owner of Agua Caliente, the first of our multi-hundred-megawatt utility-scale projects to begin construction.”


An application has been submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy for a federal loan guarantee in connection with the financing of the project, which is expected to be one of the first in the U.S. to start construction under the program. Closing of the acquisition is contingent on receiving the federal loan guarantee. NRG plans to invest up to $800 million of equity in the project through 2014 through a potential combination of cash on hand in addition to third-party investor equity.


Situated on 2,400 acres of land between Yuma and Phoenix, AZ, the Agua Caliente project has secured all necessary permits for construction and the early construction phases have begun. First Solar has developed the project and is the engineering, procurement and construction contractor, using its advanced thin-film PV modules. First Solar will provide operations and maintenance services.


The Agua Caliente solar project is the latest in a series of clean energy advancements NRG has made in Arizona this year. In June, NRG purchased the district energy system in Phoenix, NRG Energy Center Phoenix, that produces and distributes chilled water to customers in the Phoenix central business district as well as operating and maintaining district energy/combined heat and power plants for Arizona State University and in Tucson. In September, NRG began an initiative with Kennedy Partners to develop solar arrays for Arizona schools to meet their own electricity needs while providing new teaching tools and shade for parking. NRG is also developing a 25 MW solar photovoltaic project for Tucson Electric Power to help meet the energy demands of the state with renewable energy.

“Arizona is a key area of growth for NRG where our investment is creating local jobs and building infrastructure,” said Tom Doyle, president of NRG Solar and a Phoenix resident. “It is very gratifying to be able to see the benefits of our partnerships with local schools, providing cooling and heating for local businesses and universities and developing solar fields like Agua Caliente and our project for Tucson Electric Power. This is a relationship that will benefit all Arizona residents for a very long time.”


About NRG Solar

Green Stocks; Westinghouse Solar (Nasdaq:WEST ) Fourth Quarter 2010 Update

Green  Stocks; Westinghouse Solar (Nasdaq:WEST ) Fourth Quarter 2010 Update
CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 15, 2010 (www.investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire ) -- Akeena Solar, Inc. d/b/a Westinghouse Solar, (Nasdaq:WEST ), a manufacturer and distributor of solar power systems, today provided a fourth quarter 2010 business update.
On September 10, 2010 Westinghouse Solar announced it would be expanding its distribution business to include sales of its Westinghouse Solar Power Systems directly to dealers in California, and exiting its solar panel installation business. The company provided guidance on October 28 that it anticipated sequential revenue growth for its distribution business of approximately 40-50% in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to the third quarter.

"We are encouraged by the pace of sales in the fourth quarter and we are confident that we will see sequential revenue growth in excess of 50%," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Westinghouse Solar. "Our agreement with Real Goods Solar to become an authorized Westinghouse Solar installer jump-started our California distribution business as they are installing Westinghouse Solar systems in the fourth quarter on projects we transferred to them, and are selling new systems that will be installed in 2011. We continue to add new dealers both within California and in the rest of the country, and our network of installers is now over 130 independent solar dealers extending into 34 states plus Canada.

"So far, we are seeing positive signs that the distribution business should prove to be as scalable as we anticipated when we made the decision to exit the installation business. We are also continuing discussions with new strategic distribution partners to increase our top line sales, and supplier partners to reduce our costs. We continue to anticipate that our cash operating expenses for continuing operations will be approximately $1.5 -- 1.6 million in the fourth quarter. In addition, our efforts to protect our solar panel installation technology are evidenced by the latest patent we received from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Organization," concluded Cinnamon.
