Dec 21-24: Dow, NASDAQ, Solar All Strong

Market looks to end bullish

Wall Street keeps looking up even though many maintain the worst of the economic downturn is still ahead. The Dow gained over 191 points since Friday's close, nearly a 2% gain. NASDAQ gained 74 and the 20 Solar Stock Index (20SSI) added over 11 points, 3.3% and 2.6% respectively.

MarketWatch says the bulls are out of the gate but nowhere near stampeding. A weekly poll by the American Association of Individual Investors reported that 38% of single investors said they were bullish on stocks for the next six months. This is 19% higher than last March but 13% less than the survey showed in August. The current market rebound is still not close than the 2007 Bull Market but still bodes well in light of the country's current state. The 2009 rebound could continue into next year as investors may hold onto stocks with hopes of recouping some 2008 losses.

Thirteen in the 20SSI gained, a fourth straight positive week for this solar index. Biggest winners included Akeena, Amtel Systems and Canadian Solar. Average solar stocks gained over 3%.

Dec 14-18: Tech, Solar Stocks Kick Some Butt

Solar index up third straight week

The DJIA slipped almost 143 points (-1.4%) since last Friday although today's finish was stronger than expected at 10328.89. Tech stocks did well however, and the NASDAQ gained 21 points--nearly 1%--to end at 2211.69 with Intel, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard helping lead the way. Best of all, the 20 Solar Stock Index gained 14.55 points, a 3.43% gain to end at 438.99.

Boeing took a major hit when Ryanair cancelled an order for 200 new 737-800 jets and the stock became the Dow's biggest loser for the week. Oracle and Research in Motion, maker of the Blackberry, reported better-than-expected earnings reports and were two more reasons why tech stocks purred since last Friday.

Amtech Systems was solar's biggest winner on news the company closed $10 million in sales orders and a larger order from one existing customer. JA Solar was another big gainer, reporting on better Q4 earnings than earlier guidance suggested. Thirteen in the 20SSI gained this week with the average stock up over 8.13% overall.

Dec 7-11: Solar Outpaces Dow, NASDAQ Again

20SSI up over 10% since Nov 27

For the second week straight the 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) has out gained both the Dow Industrial Averages and the NASDAQ indexes. The 20SSI was up 10.45 points to finish at 424.44 while the Dow gained nearly 86 points finishing at 10471.5 and NASDAQ dropped 4 points to end today at 2190.31.

As results of the Copenhagen climate conference are made clearer, consensus shows the need to shift the energy paradigm from conventional, CO2-producing power sources to clean, renewable energy sources as the sun, wind and geothermal. Eleven in the 20SSI showed gains while another three remained unchanged from last Friday. Leaders were Akeena, Amtel Systems and SunTech.

Should this trend continue, solar will end 2009 higher than its Jan 5, 2009 close at 415.41.

MarketWatch reports that recent data from retailers and general consumer sentiment appear strong, uplifting hopes for a good holiday season for spending and bolstering retail profits. It appears most, if not all, major economic yardsticks are pointing toward recovery in the U.S.

Nov 30-Dec 4: Solar Tops Dow, NASDAQ

Decent jobs report bolsters week...

While the Dow struggled to a small gain this week, the NASDAQ was up 2.6% and the 20 Solar Stocks Index gained over 30 points to finish at 413.99, nearly an 8% gain since last Friday.

A better-than-expected jobs report from the federal government pushed the Dow up over 180 points earlier today before slipping back to a modest gain of 78.98 to finish at 10388.9.

All but one stock in the 20SSI went up for the week with the average stock price increase at over 8%. Leaders were LDK Solar, Yingli and Satcon. A decent December could beat the year's start of 415.41, a moral victory if nothing else.
