Exchange Traded Funds

Filed in archive Idea on July 16, 2010

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a unique type of security that are part-stock and part-index. ETFs can be traded at any time during market hours and can be bought in amounts as small as one share. They can represent shares in hundreds of companies. For investing in ETFs a few things should be kept in mind.
• ETFs should be so chosen keeping in mind the type of investment an individual wants to take. There are many foreign ETFs also to choose from.
• One should approach the brokers with the exact amount of ETFs he/she wants to buy. This is because the brokers get the commission every time when one buys or sell securities, thus making small trades more costly than profit.
• To help in protecting investments, an individual should set, buy, sell and hold orders on the ETFs.
• ETF investments should be diversified.
• Before investment content of each ETF should be investigated.
These investment ideas should be followed to make something out of investment in ETFs.

First Solar

Filed in archive News on March 1, 2009

First Solar is part of the emerging green sector of the stock market. As in the technology sector, a green company's returns are often dependent on the future success of their innovation. The prospect of generating earnings much larger than their current revenues gives the stock a larger potential for growth than companies in more established sectors.
First Solar designs and manufactures solar panels. It currently has contracts with a dozen European companies. Its customers are in charge of the operation and distribution of the panels in solar power plants. The company has an extensive research and development arm, partnering with universities and research labs to further the efficiency of solar electricity.

As alternative sources of energy become more mainstream and oil prices begin to climb upwards again, First Solar could find itself in a very advantageous position – an early adopter in a growing market with almost limitless demand. In 2008 the price of their stock reached a high of over three hundred dollars and a low just above eighty. First Solar trades on the Nasdaq, with shares currently selling for just over a hundred dollars a share.

Are you an investor in first solar? What do you think how first solar will develop?

Should someone else buy or sell first solar? Why?
