Because it is.

I saw this article and remember of this little discussion about solar stock prices and oil prices.

Why solar stock prices are correlated to oil prices is beyond me but maybe investor just short the entire energy sector all together.

Solar Stocks Plummet With Oil Prices

Solar company executives and analysts say solar stocks have fallen in tandem with falling oil prices, although they see no fundamental connection.

i think in general when there is more free cash in a household budget (such as when oil/gas is cheap), people are less inclined to look to save in other places (reduce electricity bills with solar). there is probably some of what Inc is saying too, for example, Petrobras (PBR) actually benefits from lower oil prices since it is a net importer of gas into brazil and sells at fixed government prices at the pump, but oil trades down in a day and it drags down PBR.
 
FCX, got slaughtered today, the last couple of days actually since copper plunged. Picked some up in my account and my inlaws account. For those who missed out on NBR the last time it was 10, closed at 10.36, picked up some more today.
 
BIG step for me today, bought AMZN shares, bouncing off 52 week lows (it's tech is kinda meh but it's bread/butter Prime should be its focus)

My rule for stocks is buy what you know/use and just hold it long term.

AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, TGT and DIS should be no-brainers for you. :)

Not sure if 8LEG, SQD, REFI and GOLD are actual ticker symbols.

So you should be buying BBY no?

I would buy Google over Amazon. Due to the fact Amazon is not profitable right now.
 
@ps9:

BBY is too limited and I shop there infrequently.

You can say that about AAPL too but they have cult-like followers and I actually use their products.

MSFT and GOOG are always going to be around... AMZN and TGT are basically the online vs. brick/mortar duo and DIS is going to blow up with all the non-princess properties they now have (Star Wars and Marvel Comics).

I should have also mentioned NFLX (where is USC?).

+1

I would be very cautious about BBY.  The brick and mortar store model might going the way of dodo bird, just look at Circuit City and Good Guys.  The consumer electronic retail will never be the same.
 
I would also stay away from best buy. A couple of long term holds would also be Home Depot and Nike.
 
Maybe now is a good time to buy more stocks.

Stock dividend yields are above Treasury yields -- and that?s bullish

Long-term investors are getting a rare signal suggesting that now might be a great time to buy stocks.

For just the fourth time in over 50 years, the S&P 500?s dividend yield moved last week above the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note. If history is any guide, this means 2015 could be a very good year for the stock market.
