| Anyone interested in DSTI? With oil getting higher and higher, solar energy is the way and currently DSTI seems to have the lightest, thinnest, and most efficient solar panels. If the stock does what it did over the last year , you could be in for 400%+ gains. Anyone else interested? |

| Very interested. Although this tech has been around for a while, I think it's mostly been tanked by Big Oil and "The Powers that Be," but I think the general public might have something to say now that we've hit $70 a barrel. What have you got in mind? |

I think the entire energy complex is overpriced, and CPST in particular right now, it was on its way to a new 52 week low yesterday until Jim Cramer said to buy it during his Mad Money show, he thinks CPST is going to $20 possibly LOL, it might, but not before it sees a new 52 week low, to Cramer's credit he said to buy between 3.50 and 4.00, we'll see if he actually buys it at that price when it gets there though, watch ENER collapse too, that hit a new 52 week high today and I think it is more highly followed by anal-ysts in the alternative energy sector, there won't be many safe havens in energy during the coming collapse, keep yer eye on HOFF when it trades to .15-.19, that's the best energy play out there right now  |

| Two more solar panel plays that have been doing great recently are xsnx, and wwat. xsnx went up a whopping 100% yesterday. xsnx is into clear solar panels that go over windows, and wwat is into solar panels for pumping water. They are tiny stocks, but that just gives them more room for growth. |

Careful, could be a sign of a top in the sector, ya can't buy CPST for 1.00 any more, and Joe Sixpaxk is lookin around and seeing everything in the alternative fuel sector running like a scalded dawg and he wants in! so what does he do? the only thing he can of course, cash in da cookie jar for a couple hundred shares of XSNX and hope for a move to oblivion! I think we will get some clearer direction about the entire energy sector at 10:30 when the oil and gas news comes out, the next time CPST trades down into (and below) the .80's I'm in!  |

| Check out XSNX today. It was up all the way to .40. It's still up 35% for the day. If you bought last Thursday in the 20s, you did pretty good! |

Oil prices are here to stay. 5 years from now, I wouldn't see people complaining of $1/litre. As prices rise, the public tries to get in on the scene. Soon they realize there's nothing they can do. Oil prices will continue to rise in the coming decades.
With the introduction of hybrid and solar vechiles, OPEC wants to get rid of their oil as fast as possible. Iraq alone has enough oil to continue supply at its current rate for another 70 years. Do you really think we'll rely on oil 70 years from today? Absolutely not. For OPEC, it's to make as much money and as soon as possible.

Here are a couple of alternate energy stocks that i have been watching:
BLDP..10/3/05@$5.68...$4.42..-22%
DESC..11/7/05@$8.89...$9.13..+2.7%
ESLR..11/30/05@$9.36...$11.69..+25%
MGPI..12/2/05@$11.82...$12.00..+1.5%
PEIX..11/17/05@$9.44...$10.15..+6.5%
PLUG..11/23/05@$5.03...$5.64..+12%
For some reason bldp isn't doing well although it should be, it is a big player in the fuel cell arena. |

I've been following DSTI for several months. Technically and fundamentally, I think it's ready for the next major leg up. Fundamentals are important, but I like to use TA to take the emotion out of it.
Here's what I'm looking at: Using $2.70 (the low on 1/24/05) to $17.50 (the high on 7/25/05) as a major leg up, the low on 10/21/05 of $8.13 gave us a 63% retracement of that move. A 1:1 expansion would take us to $23.39 for the next major move up. Of course, that won't happen all at once. But then again, a stock like this can do some pretty amazing things in a short amount on time. The next minor move up, the one we're in now, is based on this:
The $10.30 on 11/29 was a 52% retracement of the move up from the $8.13 (10/21) to the $12.68 (11/15). The next leg up takes us to $14.85 (1:1 expansion) or possibly $15.68 (1:38 expansion). We held support at the 200 dma, broke through the 50 dma on 12/2 with conviction, and gapped up and closed above the 20 dma today. Looks like we're breaking up out of a bull flag. We could see resistance at the $12.00 to $12.50 area, but once we break it, it's a clear shot to $14 - $15 range.
A caveat here is how the major markets act. We may see a pullback and may cause DSTI to move sideways, possibly retest the $12.60 of 12/2, and build cause before breaking up through the $12 resistance area. |

| Your fundamental analysis shouldn't be very emotional... if anything technical analysis is more open to interpretation. |

That depends on how the technical analysis is performed. When used as part of a mechanical trading system, the human element is completely removed, hence no emotion enters into the decision making process.
As far as I am aware, there is no mechanical way to evaluate the fundmentals of a company. If there is then please enlighten me, I'd like to know. It just seems that as soon as you use numbers that are objectively created, whether they are P/E, stock price, return of capital, etc, and plug them into a formula to get a buy/sell decision then it is, by definition, technical analysis. TA is not just drawing lines on charts, TA involves MACD, RSI, Stochastics, etc, they are the bread and butter of mechanical systems.
I'd love to see a counter-example. |

| If the new solar bill passes it will mean that $3 billion is made available for home and business owners in rebates for solar power in California. I think the expectation is that this will pass next month. |

| This is also great news for SPWR, the new solar power stock that Cramer gave a thumbs up on Thursday and today it reached a high at $30.83. I could see SPWR reaching $40 next week. |
