Excerpts: Stock X-Change
What stocks will help America kick our oil habit and also make you some green?
Scott [Bleier] : My pick is Energy Conversion Devices (ENER), which is involved in advanced technologies for alternative fuels such as solar energy, batteries for hybrid vehicles, and hydrogen. It's a controversial stock, but I think it's going to $100 in a year or two as the company's technologies get better and it begins to make more money. (Energy Conversion Devices closed on Friday at $45.02.)
Pat: Scott should have recommended it six months ago. It's risky.
Gary K: I cannot buy companies that lose money and this one loses a lot of money. |
