Does anyone have a guess at who the battery company is that ChangeWave is alluding to in this email I received?

Dear Investor,

This is my new #1 pick for the investment money you want to be
aggressive with.

It's a little company riding in the catbird seat, on one of the
most powerful growth stories of the decade.

HOTCAKES

That's what hybrid cars are selling like. Dealers can't keep up
with demand - I'll tell you why in just a moment. Hint: The
answer can double, even triple, your money by 2007:

Just a few years ago, the first hybrids were novelties.
Putt-putts. Toys for the Greenpeace set. But they sure have
made a move mainstream FAST. That's because hybrid buyers aren't
balking at the $3,000-$4,000 price premium attached to the cars.
Some folks are buying for environmental reasons, but growing
numbers are buying just for a chance to "stick it to OPEC."

And demand is much stronger than nearly anyone had expected.

Honda and Toyota got the ball rolling with gas/electric hybrids.
But now everybody who's anybody in the auto business is set to
enter the fray - from Chevy to Lexus and everywhere in-between.

If you're truly a growth investor, this story should have you
licking your chops: iplacereports.com

PROBLEM

According to R.L. Polk & Co., the hybrid market has grown 960%
since 2000, and hybrid registrations increased 81% in 2004 to
83,153 -- mostly vehicles from Honda and Toyota.

Our ChangeWave Research Alliance called it. We said - a year ago
- that hybrid growth would be much stronger than anyone on Wall
Street was predicting. But that growth, while quite remarkable,
is NOT the real story.

It's the hybrid cars that weren't built - that's what's got me
really jazzed!

You see, if Toyota and Honda had enough high-energy batteries,
they would have sold five times as many hybrid cars! Batteries.
It's a money-doubler, or tripler, from here:

OPPORTUNITY

This company makes the rechargeable batteries that make hybrids
run - and they can't make them fast enough to keep up with
demand.

In fact, Toyota was all set to introduce its Lexus RX400h SUV,
but had to delay the launch by a few months. They say they want
more of the SUVs in the sales channel, but our analysis suggests
they're having a parts supply problem -- think batteries.

Here's the basic story on the stock: This company invents,
engineers and develops new materials and products in the fields
of alternative energy technology, and information technology.
And as you'll see when you join us at ChangeWave Investing, the
firm is playing a critical role in the march towards energy's
"alternative age".

But right NOW, this company's invention of nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) batteries is why we are so bullish on the stock.

Their Cobasys joint venture with ChevronTexaco has a
manufacturing plant in Springboro, Ohio that can turn out over
1.2 million NiMH batteries per year at full capacity (right now
they are at 60,000). This joint venture has spent nearly $200
million in development of the battery and manufacturing system
and is now ready for prime time.

In fact, they are bidding on more than 20 contracts for NiMH
batteries with various manufacturers -- with Toyota already in
the bag and Toyota licensing their hybrid technology to other
carmakers.

And unlike a few years ago when all their patents were tied up in
lawsuits, that legal ledger is all clear now. Panasonic settled
and cannot sell its NiMH batteries for use in cars until 2010 and
must pay a 3%-5% royalty thereafter.

We're right at the tipping point of the hybrid wave - and this is
the single best way we've found so far to take advantage:

PLUS...

...there is MUCH more to this firm than just batteries.

They also own the leader in photovoltaic roofing (i.e., roofs
that create electricity). Using their proprietary thin-film a-Si alloy materials,
the company has developed the most cost-effective solar cell on the
market.

Not only do their solar cells absorb light more efficiently than
crystalline counterparts, but their thickness can be 100 times
less, thereby significantly reducing materials cost. And the firm
holds the current world records for both large- and
small-area conversion efficiency for a-Si solar cells, as
measured by the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

This is an exploding technology in the more energy-efficient
world, especially big in Europe - but now catching fire in the
U.S., as well.

BOTTOM LINE

With this stock, we get a double-play on the Alternative Energy
Wave: Affordable solar energy AND hybrid vehicles.

There is no doubt that these guys have been an over-promising,
under-delivering group of engineering nerds. They went public in
the mid-'80s and have taken about 20 years to get to the point of
breaking out.

But all the regulatory, energy and funding stars are now in
alignment -- and there is simply NO purer play on the Hybrid Wave
and Affordable Solar Energy Wave out there -- not to mention 80%
year-over-year growth.
