Here is a great article on four worthwhile stocks. I own Plug Power, and I highly recommend it. Himax is also interesting. Study the charts for both stocks for good entry points because I think these two stocks in particular will be big future winners.

Why We Cut Stocks, Added Bonds Thursday And Friday [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust] - Seeking Alpha
Why We Cut Stocks, Added Bonds Thursday And Friday [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust] - Seeking Alpha
Here is another great article by Chris Ciovacco about how to handle changing stock market conditions. A lot of people were probably shocked and bewildered by the -318 point drop for the Dow on Friday. However, we had a couple of -100+ days before the big drop, and investors should have already changed portfolio allocations. Chris presented an excellent chart of the S&P 500 compared to bonds ($SPX:AGG), and if you look closely at the chart, you will see early warning indicators for moving partly into bonds.
For example, the chart shows a downtrend beginning on December 23 and continuing for a month into January 2014. Also, the 3 day and 5 day EMA lines have both recently been broken. It is time to move to safe stocks or short-related stocks until the chart direction reverses. You could also buy VXX or TVIX since volatility has returned to the stock market. Just be sure to sell your bear stocks when the market turns bullish again.

This is an outstanding article which tries to make sense of a big -318 point down day on the Dow which was already preceded by two -100+ days over the last two weeks. Has a bear market started? The author does a good job of drawing rational conclusions. For example, not all asset classes are going down. MDY and IWM, mid-caps and small-caps held their 50 day lines. The S&P is still above its 100 day line which served as recent support during minor recent pullbacks. So, we are probably just experiencing a correction, but we must still keep monitoring the market in various ways to know when to head for the hills.

Stag Industrial Inc (STAG): STAG May Soon Be The Next 'Monthly Dividend Machine' - Seeking Alpha
Stag Industrial Inc (STAG): STAG May Soon Be The Next 'Monthly Dividend Machine' - Seeking Alpha
This is an outstanding article about Stag Industrial (STAG), a rental REIT like Realty Income (O). Stag pays a monthly dividend just like Realty Income, and they both pay almost 6% annually. I have been a fan of Realty Income for a long time, but this is my first exposure to Stag. I am very impressed with the author's coverage of the company, and I plan to buy shares in the near future. Moreover, Stag is growing more than Realty Income currently, and this translates into a stock price gain as well. This is definitely a good stock to buy as part of a diversified portfolio.

Electric Cars by the Numbers
Electric Cars by the Numbers
Here is an excellent article about the exponential rise of electric cars and hybrid vehicles. Not only are we gushing with oil in America now, but we are also adopting electric vehicles which will certainly make us energy independent in the future. Tesla, of course, is the most popular electric car, but several other car makers are churning out electric vehicles also. The author lists the car makers and approximate prices and mileage ranges of the cars. So, this is a great article to update yourself about dramatic changes in our country and the world.

This is an outstanding article about the booming solar industry. The author lists many leading solar contractors. Solar City (SCTY) has been a fantastic stock this past year. Then, if you want to own an ETF which contains a lot of solar stocks for great diversification, TAN is the stock you want to buy. I currently own TAN, and I plan to buy SCTY when it cools off a little.

Golar LNG Stock: Another Way to Play the Energy Revolution Today
Golar LNG Stock: Another Way to Play the Energy Revolution Today
Here is a great article about why Golar LNG is a great buy. I have owned Golar in the past, and I am planning on buying the company again. This time, though, I plan to hold onto my shares. The natural gas shipping business has been slow in developing, but we are now almost there with export facilities being built for widespread shipping. Since a lot of the world has turned its back on nuclear energy, natural gas is the next cleanest energy source other than wind and solar. Moreover, natural gas trumps wind and solar because of 24-hour availability and greater potential power. Golar shipping needs to be bought before the stock really takes off.
