Future Dealings of the Oil and Natural Gas Companies
Novel deepwater drilling projects are postponed by the United States Government after the disaster of BP's Oil well in the Gulf of Mexico and the United States Government has put ban on oil drilling near the Coastal region of Florida. In the forth coming year a Spanish company is expected to drill a fresh well sited, 50 miles away from Florida. Currently Cuba is producing a small amount of Oil, according to the oil analyst and expert's predictions, the Northern Coast of the country may contain plethora of Oil resources. The oil extracted in the Northern Coast will be sufficient and it will equal to the amount produced by Ecuador and Colombia, these are the world famous largest oil producer and it can stop depending on Venezuela for their energy and oil necessary.
This Cuban venture may lead to huge risks to the United States and the island nation, many oceanographers have warned that, the drilling may break out like the BP disaster and within a short time of the oil ejection it may reach the beaches in the Cuba and Florida Keys. If the oil spew from the disaster reaches the Gulf Stream, the herculean ocean stream may carry those spew to the Miami coastal line and may even extend beyond Miami. The Cuban don't have the latest precautionary equipments possessed by the United States such as the submarine robots, the deepwater rig equipment and they did not possess the readymade platform to take preliminary relief measures in short span of time.

QUESTION:
I am a new investor looking for some stocks in solar energy, can anyone make some recommendations?
I am looking for an assortment of smaller, mid-size and large companies. Thanks-
ANSWER:
JASO, CSUN, ESLR, STP, SOL, FSLR etc........TAN (it's an ETF with all of them).................. better "bet".
You could be up 25% in a week.... you could be down 35% in a week with these solar stocks.
Do you know technical analysis?
Do you know how to plan a "stop" & do it with the buy order?
Will you have an exit plan. Will you use a trailing stop at some point?
Do you understand "position sizing"
Hopefullly this is a small part of your portfolio (like less than 1%).I suspect you may have no idea on what you're doing. If you make a lot of money on this...... it will be the worst thing for you. You'll think you can't lose.... & then you will.....big!
Please don't be mad at what I've said here. I've seen too many people think they can make easy money in the market.

QUESTION:
Stocks in Solar/Renewable Energy Industry?
The company I'm working for is willing to give me stock options at $.25/share... I never ownned stock before and I dont have any clue how this works, all I know is that if the company grows, my stock grows... I was woondering if Im getting a good deal. The company is still private and its going public this year..Solar/Renewable Energy Industry a good place to invest your money? Does it yeild big return?

ANSWER:
Most likely, the options cost you nothing. What the company is saying is that at a later time, you are allowed to buy a certain number of shares of the company at 4/. If, at that time, the stock is , then you can turn right around and sell it on the open market, and make money. On the other hand, if the stock is 0.24, then your options are worthless.How much the option is worth depends on the total number of shares issued. If there are 10,000 shares outstanding, and you are allowed to buy 100, then that's 1% of the company. Pretty good, if it turns out to be the next Microsoft or Google. If there are 50 million shares, then that's not much.
An initial public offering of a stock is typically at or more. Are you VERY SURE that the company is going public this year? These are hard times, and a startup has to be doing well to go public. Personally, I would be very surprised to see a new solar company go public in the coming year.
If I actually had to pay money to buy the options, now, I would be doubly suspicious of whether the company is actually going public. Maybe they're just trying to raise money (although, I don't know how much they could get from you).
If you have a wealthy and successful relative, I would go to them with the particulars of the deal, and ask them what they would do. Don't trust Y!A for major financial decisions (not even me!)

QUESTION:
How is it possible to get rich investing in stocks for 5 or more years?
Can you invest in stocks for 10 or 20 years and make great profits? If I invested 00 in MSFT and forgot about it, than 20 years later looked at it and it's worth ,000,000, is that possible? What is your opinion on small-cap stocks? Solar Energy stocks? Etc stocks?-
ANSWER:
First off, Solar Energy stocks are having a hard time in my opinion due to the not so great global economy. It is a risky stock to invest in.It is possible to make money in Microsoft stock if the market conditions are favorable to the company. Be sure to do lots of research regarding the company before you commit to the investment.
Small Cap stocks can be good and bad. Sometimes the small cap stocks don't get anywhere. Sometimes they are companies on the verge of success. Do lots of RESEARCH on the company and the industry it is in. Lots of companies come and go that promise great returns and success to their investors. Be sure to read up on the industry and see how the smaller companies fair in the overall industry.
If you invest for the long term then take at least time once a quarter or semi-annually to evaluate your stock portfolio to make sure that your stocks are in good shape. Don't just forget about it for 10-20 years. That may prove to be unwise if you are depending on this to be a future safety financial cushion for retirement.
Best of Luck to you!!!!!
