Trina Solar Looks Good, Though Market Yawns
Trader Mark submits: Just another day of good solar news ignored by the market - today is Trina Solar's TSL turn. Some upside to previous guidance given in today's press release - market could care less. On $3.53 estimated 2008 earnings the company now trades at under 4x earnings. I'd...

Perfect World Announces Share Repurchase Program
Trader Mark submits: We don't currently own Perfect World PWRD because the market, in all its wisdom, has deemed that the youth of China will stop playing video games, because Americans can't pay their mortgages.

Wells Fargo, JPM Report, and Survive
Trader Mark submits: I honestly think every major mutual fund in America is flocking to Wells Fargo WFC - every dip is bought and this is one of the very few stocks over both the 50 and 200 day moving averages. They should have quite a powerful franchise when all...

Two Banks That Don't Need Handouts: PNC, BBT
Trader Mark submits: PNC Financial PNC "missed" by more than BB&T BBT but the market has them both down 5% or so this morning. Even Wells Fargo WFC is down 7% today - miracle of miracles.  Overall, two banks not needing government handouts (but I'm sure they'll...

Watching the Malls: As Goes Retail, So Go Communities Across America
Trader Mark submits: Part and parcel with our "Pooring of America" theme is the credit bubble has resulted in overbuilding of too much retail - in just about every niche. We're way overbuilt - we build for a steroid-filled credit demand cycle. Unfortunately, as the U.S. has moved away from...

Icon - Even CROs with Decent Earnings Aren't Immune
Trader Mark submits: It has been quite awe-inspiring to see even the safety sectors hit this badly - one of them should have been healthcare, but there has been no safety in this storm. I've stuck with contract research organization firms in general, despite eroding charts. Icon  ICLR continues...

Will CF Industries Take Itself Private?
Trader Mark submits: CF Industries CF is yet another fertilizer company whose valuation simply makes little sense. It reported stellar earnings  Monday and was up 12% early Tuesday morning. That sounds exciting, except when you realize that takes it all the way back to Friday's pricing... which is the...

Share Buybacks Make Apple Sweeter
Trader Mark submits: Some interesting comments on the blog of late debating the merits of buying stocks with dividends versus not. I don't have a problem buying stocks without dividends since many stocks I focus on are relatively young and in high growth states. In markets like this they are...

Sequenom Misses, but Who Cares?
Trader Mark submits: Near term results for Sequenom SQNM are really a moot point as we're looking to mid 2009 forward on this story; the main issue in this new and not so improved environment is making sure young companies have cash to get them to the point where they...

Cramer Effect Hits AeroVironment
Trader Mark submits: I did not notice the performance of AeroVironment AVAV yesterday because so many stocks are now being whipsawed 10-25% a day up and down, but it looks like the stock was mentioned by Jim Cramer on Monday's Mad Money and the stock has screamed higher - I...

After Smashing Earnings, Thoratec Actually Guides Up
Trader Mark submits: As I expected, Thoratec THOR demolished earnings expectations as this quarter's sales came before the product recall of their heart device.
