Alternative Energy and Comedy Club

It's amazing how much all the controversy surrounding Tibet has calmed down. Although it's probably in good taste, 70,000 people were killed by the recent earthquake, with millions more homeless due to the earthquake and floods. A crazy time for China right now.

I went to a comedy club the other day in Times Square. It was so lame, i was really disapointed. First off, there were 6 comedians. 4 of them asked me if I am a ninja. Now, i realize i'm Asian........but I don't see how that is remotely funny. So those guys were idiots.

But even worse, there were a couple Pakistani guys to my left, and one of the comedian was really offensive. First he kept joking that they are terrorists, which is old, overdone, and not funny anymore. Then, he said like "wouldn't it suck if you spent your whole life doing whatever crap you have to do, then one day find out that allah doesn't exist. You'd be screwed, wasted your life. aren't you worried about that?"

I thought that was really low class.

I'm really enjoying my work. I'm covering some alternative energy companies. The one that really caught my attention is a company called Energy Conversion Devices, ENER. They make solar energy panels to generate renewable clean energy. I'm really high on this company. When it was trading at $62, I thought it was BUY. So i recommended it to my manager, just in the past few days, it's been up 5 days in a row, culminating today with a 15% single day gain. it's up to $77 now!

So if you looking for a stock with great potential, you can't go wrong with this one. I honestly think solar energy is the future. Thinking about a clean solar powered world gets me excited. It's great that i get to learn about such emerging technologies at work.
