UARM VLCM and ESLR


Just a quick post about the market!

I've been a bit busy this past week and have not been watching the market as closely as usual. I guess the fact that I don't have any "play around money" right now also contributes to the fact.

All the fat cats that were able to get some Under Armour IPO shares are smiling mightily tonite. Although only the fat cats had an opportunity to pick up this gem at the $13.00 offering price.But a close of $25.30 and a 94% price gain sure looks nice. I will indeed add UARM to my watchlist and see if we pull back below $20.00 once this cools down. If it dips below $20.00 I will due my best to scrape up some cake and jump on the train. We must protect this house!

I've mentioned Volcom (Ticker:VLCM) here in the past. Jim Cramer gave VLCM some praise on MAd Money on Wednesday, on Thursday the stock traded at 3 to 4 times its normal volume and moved up nicely. Still room to grow here and things could go real well if Cramer keeps shining the light on it.

Also Evergreen Solar (Ticker: ESLR) continues to look strong and their prospects only look to get brighter when the EverQ joint venture in Germany starts up shortly. I think I first mentioned ESLR on this here little blog somewhere in the $8.00 range. I'm allowed to toot my own horn when I pick a winner, right? The sad thing is I could be up over 500% on this one as I have been watching it since the day after the big East Coast power outage back 2 summers ago. At that time ESLR was trading for about $2.50. Nice move over the past 2 years for a Massachusetts company.

Well I'm about to head out for the evening, hitting the gym and then off to the north and the west for a bit of movie night. Two nights in a row without sleeping in my own bed. Don't I feel special! Deep thoughts about life and the world at large are sure to follow tomorrow!

Plenty of Moolah in November. My big score was cost plus (CPWM). Who needs bacarrat? My big concern is terrorism for the holidays to fuck things up. Just look at YUM?

I was watching Cramer last night and he and the CEO of SBUX mentioned YUM and how much prime real estate YUM has in China since they were the first big foodie to really get aggressive there.

I've got some nic paper gains in Ceradyne as of late (CRDN) and BioMarin Pharma (BMRN) also watching SIRI for the pre Howard Stern rally, sell my position and hope to buy back in lower.

Not sure I like ESLR. ESLR makes solar panels out of silicon and the cost of silicon is very high right now and is only going higher. XSNX is my favorite solar panel / alt energy stock. They have a new thin film solar panel glaze that goes on the windows of high rise buildings. Look for XSNS to grow faster than any other solar panel stock out there.

Solar power is about to get billions of dollars in support on January 12 when the CPUC votes. Buy spwr, xsnx, and dsti to make 1000%+ in 2006. ESLR is not the best alternative energy stock. Wait for a correction in ELSR and don't buy until it goes down to under $7
