The Bog Mo'; 8 Green Energy Stocks show sparks of momentum

When we are further along in this rally, and particularly 6 to 9 months from now when the old 52 week highs will be falling daily, many companies will be on the new high list. Some pioneers will make it well before then, and will streak to new highs in the winter of 2009. One place to look for these is in stocks that have resisted downside volatility in recent days and begun to establish a nascent uptrend. It's far too early to come up with any comprehensive list or rankings, but here are some alternative energy stocks with momentum in early November 2008.

To me it seems there are people accumulating these shares, which is the reason they are able to avoid the fluctuations based on news and commodity prices; the company's "internal story" has come into view, and certain investors are taking notice.
