Aggressive Growth Stock – First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR)
I mentioned in the last post that I expect the Oil services industry to get hammered due to the BP oil spill. This leaves me to seek opportunities in the renewable energy services sector. Solar, Wind and even Natural Gas (with the endorsement by Obama) may be the power giants of the future.
Future of Oil projections:
-Oil extracting will be very costly, as companies must follow regulation and may be hit with new taxes.
-This will be passed down to consumers making oil costly for the end user.
-The current state of the economy cannot handle another large increase in oil prices.
-This will be passed down to consumers making oil costly for the end user.
-The current state of the economy cannot handle another large increase in oil prices.
This leads me to the conclusion that alternative energy has to grow, aggressively. Hybrid batteries are not excluded - Azure Dynamics Corporation (Public, TSE:AZD) is a speculative stock I keep a close eye on. I will do a in depth analysis of this company on a later day.

Mr. Stock Picks Conclusion:
Seeing how FSLR’s exposure being significant in Europe in order to buy this stock you must believe in the recovery in Europe. I feel this recovery will surprise everyone and the Euro will once again be strong. The global growth along with problems in the oil service sector are just added reasons for the future of this company. Not to mention the company's financial health is well.
