Hey
I have been thinking about the boon in "green" investments. I am going to be looking for companies that have solid business models while still finding ways to cut energy output and increase conservation.
This is one of the reasons I have chosen to invest in Pepsi. They are extremely innovative within the beverage/food sector. They have recently decided to purchase over 1 billion dollars worth of energy credits over the next three years.
My next stock purchase (at the end of the summer) will probably be either Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan. Both financial institutions are at the top of their game when it comes to their business model. But both companies are also taking large smart steps towards assisting energy usage and conservation.
You can find more detailed information at www.gs.com and www.jpmorgan.com or by going to yahoo finance (link in side bar).

Checkpoint bucks trend today
Hey
Checkpoint seemed to buck the trend on heavy volume closing the day up 2% while the rest of the market was clearly down. There was no news so I am unclear as to why there was such heavy buying. Stay tuned.
The Fed Chairman Bernanke came out with remarks about the economy suggesting that it will increase in the next six months. This brought some selling into the market as the thought of lower interest rates has gone away for a while. This might hurt some of the housing stocks going into the summer. The service sector jump seems to indicate some upcoming employment in the tech sector furthering the maturation of the internet economy.

Spreading and Creating Wealth
Hey
This past week the University of Chicago (www.uofc.edu) received a donation of 100 million dollars to be used solely for tuition over the next 15 years. The grants are to be given to students whose families make 75,000 dollars or less a year. I feel that this donation will create far more wealth than the 100 million dollars given.
This type of donation will spread wealth by giving parents a break on the task of paying tuition and allow that money to go into investments for retirement or business. It will create wealth by allowing students to go into the workforce with minimal debt. That should allow a more robust saving and investing that will in turn help the economy.
This donor has recognized that the less debt students are able to leave school with, the more financially stable they will be in the future. I hope more affluent individuals realize the overall good this type of donation will create for the economy and society. Having buildings and scholarships in your name are great, but giving others the financial freedom to pursue their dreams at this high level is truly honorable.
