choad: As the owner of some security and alternative energy
stocks, I've asked myself the same questions:
why have the security stocks continued to slump,even amongst the terror environment, and why have the alternative energy stocks not reacted to the continuing escalation of oil prices in a relative way.
I don't know what Bearmove will say, but my best guess is that the market awaits proof of concept and profit (and even demand) from both sectors. Press releases and starter contracts don't signal anything close to break-even demand, much less profits.
For now the demand is there for security products with demonstrable and affordable efficacy, but we could be pleasantly surprised to find that changing. For now the demand isn't there for alternative energy (which I ascribe to blissful ignorance and short-sightedness). I'm certain most investors will be unpleasantly surprised to find that changing.
I try to buy a few microcaps and hope for winners to hold LT.
