I plan to write about a couple of the companies that readers asked about two weeks ago. I'd like to research the ones of interest to as many readers as possible. Let me know!
UPDATE: I'll publish articles on CPTC.OB and PSUD.PK soon. If the stock you want to know about is not in the poll, please leave a comment here, and I'll do another round at a future date. --TomI often get questions from readers asking me what I think about this alternative energy company or that one. Much of the time, I simply have to say "I haven't researched it." What can I say, I'm not Jim Cramer. Even when I do have an opinion, and the question is left in the comments (my rule is, if you want free advice, you have to be willing to share,) it's probably not researched in the depth that the person was hoping for.
For all of you wondering about my take on a specific stock, please let me know by leaving a comment on this article. I'll write articles with the same depth of research I'm doing in the current 10 Solid Clean Energy Companies to Buy on the Cheap series on at least some of them. The Ten Solid Companies series will resume this Sunday with a company focused on efficient transportation.
When that series is over, we'll have a look at some of our Readers' requests.

This poll opened Aug 16, 2007 and closed Aug 18, 2007
Since it peaked at 569.12 on July 13, the Nasdaq Clean Edge US Total Return index (^CLNX) has fallen 17.5% to 470, compared with a 12.0% drop for the S&P 500. Part of this decline is that alternative energy companies tend to be smaller and more speculative than members of the S&P, but despite the greater riskiness (at least when defined as market sensitivity, or Beta), at least one of our readers thinks "our chance to avoid the bear market and worse" lies in the alt energy space. What do you think?
