    My pick is FSLR in the technology sector. The reason is because this Company has developed the leading edge in the solar technology. Keep a look out when the price of oil sour pass US100!

    COIN: A NASDAQ US based organic fertilizer stock

    FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

    The below COIN financials I got from listening to conference:
    http://tinyurl.com/3b2wor

    In the second quarter of 2008 the Woodbridge facility will be converting 250k tons a day but has permits available to operate at full capacity of 500k tons per day. 100k tons brings in $21,200 in fertilizer + $6200 in tipp of revenue, 250k tons a day will bring in $53,000 fertilizer + $15,500 in tipp revenue per day. There are approximately 66 days in a quarter taking away Saturday & Sundays : 66 x $68,500 =$4.52M in revenue per quarter. POT & TNH have between 20%-30% in profit margins so lets give COIN a Profit margin of 15% of $4.52M = 678k profit per qtr. COIN has 4.23M shares outstanding not including any future warrents that could be converted into shares. That equates to .15 eps per qtr with 15% profit margins with Plant at only 50% production capacity. The plant at full capacity will convert 500k tons per day which equals to $1.20 EPS per year. Remember this is based on 15% profit margins, actual could be lower or higher.
