    On 5/3, this appeared in a forbes article, http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/03/hok...apbox_inl.html
    "While obvious, pure-play alternative energy companies have already been bid up dramatically, there are a few smaller-cap peripheral plays that are worthy of consideration.

    Given the abundance of coal within America's borders, coal-fired power-generation businesses should offer above-average growth opportunities. Growth in China and emerging market economies favors coal-fired electricity generation, and many of those plants will require emissions control. Companies that help to combat the pollution consequences of coal generation will have the wind at their back.

    Our favorite is Fuel Tech N.V. Fuel Tech helps utility and industrial customers reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, which in turn helps reduce air pollution. Sales jumped 110% in the fourth quarter of 2005, and pre-tax profits nearly doubled as well. We have added Fuel Tech to the model portfolio this month and expect earnings to be released May 9."

    I very close to buying PARL again. I agree that a lot of shorts will get burned very soon.

    I'll check those other picks of yours out.
    I am not, repeat NOT, recommending GIGM at this price. Merely a blast from the past, and still a position in my marketocracy portfolio. That's really the only reason I still even notice when it goes anywhere.

    I do love the smell of burning shorts.

    Hey webs, I finally sold half my CFK about a week ago for 17.50. Sold the shares bought at 15.50 in early Feb for the small short term gain, holding the ones bought just above 12.50 in late Feb until next spring for long term gains.

    Still waiting for the shorts to get burned in PARL, I have averaged down there a bit.

    My new find is FTEK. They make coal-fired plants more efficient and form less slag, and scrubber to clean up the exhaust. Have had some contracts in China.

    Got back into PRFT again after a long period of ignoring it.

    Seriously wishing I had stayed in GIGM when I found that thing a few years ago!

    best regards ... stenz

    CFK got whacked along with the rest of oilfield service (OSX), but seems to have found support at 12.50. I bought some more today. You still in this?

    Take a look at NICH. I waited too late to catch this move, but I'll be stalking it for another opportunity.

    SVL did well for me today.

    VTIV has popped back up to the top of it's six-month long trading range over the last few days, so I took the opportunity to lighten my overweighted position.

    Portfolio now about
    20% VTIV
    20% PARL
    15% CFK
    10% COGT

    I've also been playing a few penny stocks lately just for the heck of it, bought IDWD at 73 cents and sold for 90 cents later that day. Bought GMCC for 1.30 a few weeks ago, missed the good opportunity to sell for over $2 and still have it.

    Out of CRDN for a nice profit, I expect it to fall after report on Tuesday.

    - I had bailed out of CRDN looking for a pullback. Got one today and played the bounce, but not holding it given the volume of the selloff. Posted about it on the CRDN board.
    - Got back into CFK at $15.50 today after it bounced off the 50 day.
    - Story today about relatively new VTIV subsidiary inChord expansion and hiring. Posted about this on the VIV board.

    So, I'm currently holding VTIV, CFK, COGT and TCX.
    Watching CRDN and a few others.

    VTIV made acquisition announcement this morning that may finally give this thing the push it needed to get rolling again.
    CFK posted blowout earnings last night, I'm looking to jump back in it.

    CRDN is like the energizer bunny. Still holding and watching. One guy posted on the CRDN board that the Hamas victory in Palestinian election is good for defense stocks. Cynical, but perhaps true.

    Yes. The daily technicals have improved somewhat.

    The technicals suggest VTIV will be heading lower short-term, Stenzrob. The 200DMA has been strong support.
    Have you changed your mind about this, then?
