Boeing Co.’s (NYSE: BA) stock has been moving up by leaps and bounds ever since it acquired the remaining interest in Global Aeronautica LLC on December 22. The move had brought more of the 787 Dreamliner's operations under the aerospace giant Boeing Co’s (BA) direct control. The Boeing (BA) stock, which closed at $55.10 on December 22 following that deal, has since got several sweet reasons to discuss about as it has already appreciated by close to 9% since the deal.

One of them has been the fact that Boeing (BA) has managed to offer deliveries of 122 commercial planes in Q4, a figure that it has revealed earlier today. For the entire 2009, Boeing was able to maintain its target by offering deliveries of 481 commercial planes, in line with its target of 480-485 deliveries.

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the popular mail order movie-rental service, has struck a new movie licensing agreement with Time Warner Inc.’s (NYSE: TWX), Warner Bros., giving the studio four weeks to sell new releases before customers can check out DVDs.

Netflix (NFLX) gets new releases from Warner after the four weeks exclusivity window, and an expanded access to catalog titles for rental and online viewing. Though the financial terms have not been revealed, the terms could be used as a model for deals with studios facing a drop in DVD sales.

Netflix (NFLX) stock is likely to a take a fillip out of the new accord signed with Warner Bros, and its stock, which closed at $53.32 on Wednesday, could improve in early hours today. However, its stock, still trading well below its 20 day and 50 day MA of $55.19 and $54.74 respectively, may still take some time to confirm a bullish trend on the charts.

Valcent Products (OTCBB:VCTZF) vertical farming technology was named one of the Top 50 "Best Innovations of 2009" from Time Magazine in the issue on the newsstands today.

"Real estate - the one thing we're not making any more of," reports Time Magazine. "That might be good news for landlords but not for the world's farmers, who have finite cropland to feed a growing global population. The answer: build up by farming vertically. Valcent is pioneering a hydroponic-farming system that grows plants in rotating rows, one on top of another. The rotation gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients they need, while the vertical stacking enables the use of far less water than conventional farming. But best of all, by growing upward instead of outward, vertical farming can expand food supplies without using more land." (read more…)

I'm bullish on uranium. Any thoughts on any individual equities that might run?

Share your thoughts here... is the bull market back after posting the best three-month tally since 2007. A recent article by Small Cap Sentinel columnist Kris Davis gives an informed opinion here http://fispace.net/politics/2009/05/30/is-bull-market-back

What do you think?

One of Obama's top priorities is making our nation energy independent with alternative energy. A barrel of oil trades in the $60s and has been coming down for awhile. But over time, energy will probably rise. If our country can build energy independence, it creates jobs, helps our national security and stops the dramatic wealth transfer to potential enemies of our country.

If Obama does what he promises, there will be more investments in the alternative energy field. Instead of trying to pick the best stocks and learn all about these companies, you can own one stock, an ETF (exchange traded fund) that is a basket of the top companies in this sector.

The Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy ETF (NYSE: GEX) is a low cost way to play alternative energy. GEX is built around an index developed by Ardour Global which includes companies that generate power through eco friendly and non-traditional sources. It started the year at $60.45 and has corrected down to $23.27 today.

Here's is my quick form strategy for investing during an Obama presidency:

Health care stocks should perform well under an Obama administration. It has been made clear that within the next four years our healthcare system shall be taking on a radical new form. There is certain to be a massive infusion of new money into the sector. I would hasten to clarify that pharmaceutical stocks might not be the angle that you want to play here. I would lean more towards hospitals and long-term care providers. Check out this analysis from Kiplinger, to get yourself started.

Now that the election is over, many fund managers are deciding whether to re-position in stocks that are supposed to be winners in soon-to-be President Barrack Obama’s gameplan.

Let’s start with a names that may be a winner: Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is a generic drug-maker that stands to benefit from the administrations desire to bring drug costs down. On the flipside, Aetna (AET) may be a loser if a major overhaul of the health care system is proposed. Also seeing a potential hit could be energy plays like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Peabody Energy (BTU) which are in areas that the Obama administration want to see more alternative energy plays play a bigger role. We would get interested in some of the energy plays if any selling gets overdone and the dividend yields get to attractive levels.

The Federal Reserve Board on Tuesday said emergency conditions warranted its expedited action to approve Wells Fargo & Co's (NYSE:WFC - News) bid to acquire weakened banking rival Wachovia Corp (NYSE:WB - News).

The Fed issued its approval of the $12.2 billion deal in an unusual Sunday announcement on October 12, three days after Citigroup (NYSE:C - News) abandoned a brief but acrimonious battle over the third-largest U.S. bank by deposits.

With Yahoo (YHOO) announcing that it would fire at least 1,500 workers (what did all those people do there?) Microsoft (MSFT) must be rubbing its proverbial hands together and curling its handlebar mustache. That $47 Billion offer seems like it was made 100 years ago now. If MSFT even still wants YHOO - what could it likely get away with paying? $20 billion? $10 Billion? I'm sure they are at least running the numbers.
