Global Warming and why we need more solar power and other alternative-energy stocks

Global Warming

Do you believe or buy into this one? Well, while you will honestly not be seeing and major effects immediately. Though we believe that this is happening and that it could have some long term effects with will hit home in time. Which time will only tell us.

Nature can be gruel. With global warming the world's glaciers are melting faster than ever before. This is increasing the water supply for the 40% of the worlds population that rely on glacial melt for their water supply. Then, the glaciers will be gone and with them, the water supply for over 2 billion people. But we won't have the energy required to build and run desalination (remove the excess salt and other minerals from water in order to obtain fresh water) plants to deliver potable water to that many people, because the world will not be able to increase energy production at will, it will have lacked that ability for many years.

Cramer, Jim Cramer, Cramer Mad Money!

Here is a new one for you and myself, but it's going on. We are calling it the Cramer report and that's right it's all about the Cramer report. Cramer report is very entertaining and he is drawing a great fan base or even close to a bandwagon that continue to turn into his Cramer TV Mad Money! Cramer with all his rants about business and investing during Mad Money, it's like ESPN hits the stock market so BOOYAH!

Though, Cramer, Mad Money, the street, Cramer's Blog all that is honestly is great. Cramer is a very smart man, and the fact of the matter is...Cramer is a genius! There is one thing that what we would like to talk about today. This would be what we are calling the cramer bandwagons. These are the average joe trader sitting on the couch yelling booyah right along with Cramer throughout the whole show. Some of these same people are traders that could take every little thing that Cramer says rather it's entertaining or serious they are taking it all in as stock information to the very last booyah Cramer says! But, the fact of the matter is they are not stopping there. They will then run to there computer and get on yahoo stock discussion boards, stock forums, and etc and will continue to repeat everything that Cramer stated rather it was a joke or not.

So, your probably asking yourself so what...everyone had there opinion which is fine and great and dandy! Even Cramer has his strong and funny opinions as well. Though, the fact of the matter is people on this Cramer bandwagon are taking his word and turning into gold or even better investing. Investing is not rocket science we know this, but it's not always that easy as well.

Though, here is a new Cramer bandwagon theory that seems to be sort of trend of and in of it's self. The Cramer bandwagon strategy is go buy the stock that Cramer picks, and it should be going up. Why, because Cramer has these bandwagon fans that will take everything that he has to say and will start discussing them and even buying into his stock suggestions!

Well, to conclude, keep tuning into Mad Money, reading Cramer's log, the cramer report, and etc. We know for sure we will. It's a great resource for new stock ideas, and his introductions to be loaded with great information. Though, remember to do your own homework, listen with one ear while read and research with two eyes, and then you will be the true booyah stock winner! And Remember...Picks that stick. Stocks that rock. Equities sans inequities. Money without the madness. Booyah!

Have you ever wondered why some say buy and other say sell?

Have you ever wondered why some say buy and other say sell? Seriously why is it that some analysts recommend some stocks but not others? Let us do some research and work for you to help completely explaing this very great investing question. The simple, quick, and easy answer is intrinsic value of a company. Now, I know what your thinking what in the world is this intrinsic value of a company. Well let us break it down to an average trader joe. Though using the intrinsic value, analysts are able to predict what the target price for a stock should be. And your asking well who cares about the target price of a stock or what it should be. Well, if your investing money into a stock you should care!

The target price for a stock is found by taking the market cap (the price of the stock multiplied by the number of outstanding shares) and the intrinsic value and putting them into the following formula: -((market cap-intrinsic value)/intrinsic) x 100. This formula gives the percentage of whether the company is overvalued or undervalued. This percentage is then taken and multiplied by the current stock price to get the target price. For example, if a company is trading at $50 a share, and is undervalued by 15% to find the target price, you would use the following formula: 50 x 1.15=57.5 or Current Stock Price times percent difference + current stock price= target price.
