Plug Power Inc (PLUG) news: Is It Time To Buy Plug Power? What's Next For The Market - Seeking Alpha

Plug Power Inc (PLUG) news: Is It Time To Buy Plug Power? What's Next For The Market - Seeking Alpha



Here is a good article on why Plug Power (PLUG) is still a good buy even after advancing over 70% this past week.  I own Plug Power myself, and I strongly believe in the company's future success.  The main reason for the company's advance involves a big Walmart deal, but Plug Power is expanding sales to other companies also.  In addition to Plug Power, the author discusses general stock market conditions which are still favorable.

Why the Dow could hit 26 000 by 2016- MSN Money

Why the Dow could hit 26 000 by 2016- MSN Money



This is a very interesting article about how the Dow is destined to hit 26,000 in the next three years rather than having a 30-50% decline.  The author predicts another 20% year for the Dow in 2014 followed by two 15% gain years.  Believe it or not, it is possible if we don't have a major war to scare everyone and if the economy continues to stay positive.  Currently, we have no bad signs economically.



The author also pointed out that thrifty people will eventually leave bonds and stable investments because the money they are earning just covers inflation.  They are not getting ahead any.  This is a very important issue for those who want to retire with a significant nest egg.  They will start to take chances.  Then, in a few years, when the last buyer has joined the crowd, the stock market will indeed fall because there is no one left to buy.  It will be like 2000 when the market was extremely overvalued, too.

Plug Power Inc (PLUG) news: Plug Power: Inside The Belly Of The Beast - Seeking Alpha



Here is an outstanding update article on Plug Power (PLUG).  I own shares of the company, and I believe it will eventually go to $10 per share.  Mr. Fox has done a great job in explaining the advantages of fuel cell batteries over regular batteries for forklifts.  The switch to fuel cell forklifts is just getting started, and Plug Power will be using its fuel cell expertise for other types of products in the future also.  This is definitely a buy and hold stock.

All About Dowsing - All You Need To Know About Dowsing



As I occasionally do, I will talk about other subjects in addition to the stock market.  The link above is a good article about dowsing.  As you have probably heard, California is going through a drought.  Water dowsers are also being hired to find water.  My own dad claimed that he could find water in this way, and he grew up on a west Tennessee farm.  Whether you believe it or not, the dowsing article gives some very interesting information.

How Do Experienced Investors Analyze Stocks? How About ETFs? - Seeking Alpha

How Do Experienced Investors Analyze Stocks? How About ETFs? - Seeking Alpha



This is another outstanding article by Peter Way.  He talks about investing in certain ETFs which have excellent odds of making a profit for the investor in a short amount of time.  The top three ETFs were FAS, PIN, and DRN.  The top 10 ETFs gained an average of 9% over typical holding periods of just five weeks, and the annual return from this strategy was 125%.  This high odds way of trading beats waiting for five or ten years on a buy-and-hold stock that may never gain multi-bagger status.  At the very least, 10 to 25% percent of your money should be allocated to trading only in the top ETFs that Peter talked about in his article.  In this way, you will be doubling this portion of your money every year regardless of whether your other stocks win or lose.




OncoSec Medical Inc (ONCS) news: OncoSec Medical: Unique Electroporation Technology Delivering Cytokines To Target Cancer - Seeking Alpha

OncoSec Medical Inc (ONCS) news: OncoSec Medical: Unique Electroporation Technology Delivering Cytokines To Target Cancer - Seeking Alpha



Hear is an excellent article about OncoSec Medical (ONCS), an anti-cancer drug company.  They have several drugs going through the approval processes.  I own shares in the company, and I believe the company will double or triple in price.  The only question is how long it will take.



ONCS is only a small part of my total portfolio.  I believe firmly in strict diversification.  An investor should own dividend stocks which pay a person right now.  An individual also needs to hold long-term speculative stocks like OncoSec, broad-based stocks like the S&P 500, and trading stocks for special situations.  Profits must be taken when a particular stock tops out, and you can use the new available money for buying the next winner.  It sounds simple, but the complication is knowing when a stock will no longer produce significant gains.  It will take a lot of due diligence to be successful.
