Welcome to the Green Chip Weekend Edition — our insights from the week in everything alternative and cleantech, as well as links to our most-read Green Chip and sister publication articles. 

On Wednesday, I made the contrarian case for cleantech.

I asserted that, given the past, present, and future growth projections for clean energy resources, stocks in the sector are simply undervalued.

Specifically in the solar sector, I pointed out Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ), Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL), and Suntech Power (NYSE: STP) — noting they we're down between 20% and 40% in the past three months.

And I wasn't shy about what that meant for Green Chip investors:

Being able to recognize and buy those kinds of unjustified dips is how my readers make serious money in the market.

It's what Buffett calls "buying fear," and it almost always leads to above-average returns.

Had you listened, you are much wealthier today than you were earlier this week.

Take a look at a price table of the stocks I recommended you buy on Tuesday:

You could've made three double-digit trades this week simply by reading a free newsletter — one as high as 20%.

You know how much the Dow has returned this year? Zilch. It's actually down a few percentage points since January...

So Are Most Cleantech Stocks

Take a look at this chart:

The blue line shows the Dow — down about 3% for the year — compared to the three solar stocks mentioned above.

The solar stocks are down much more than the Dow — anywhere from 35% to 55%.

Yet it was still possible, if you had the right know-how, to trade each of those stocks for great gains in the past week.

That's the benefit of knowing this market inside and out. If you know fair value for the stocks in the industry... you can buy when they fall below that value and make a profit every time — even if the stocks are broadly down or in a volatile state, like right now.

If you're a long-term, buy-and-hold investor, it's looking like a great time to load up on big names in clean energy and sit tight.

But if you're looking to make money in the short-term, they only way to do it is by getting comfortable with a group of stocks and trading them repeatedly when they fall below what is fair value.

In addition to the solar stocks I told free Green Chip readers about this week, I also recommended five stocks to Alternative Energy Speculator readers that I knew were undervalued...

We're sitting on double-digit gains from each and every one of them. And keep in mind that it's only been a few days.

To learn more about how to constantly recognize these patterns and make winning trades, you can read this report on the system I use to pick clean energy stocks.

In addition, you can catch up on the rest of this week's profit ideas below.

Call it like you see it,
