Late last week, Gaiam Inc (GAIA)<\/a>, the everything "green" retailer announced plans to spinoff its Real Goods Solar<\/a> unit (to trade under RSOL on the Nasdaq) which installs residential solar energy systems in <\/span>California<\/span>, which claims 2\/3 or the residential solar market.  If you’re a big believer in the green movement like I am and believe it can provide outstanding returns to your portfolio over the next decade (like I do), then Gaiam (GAIA) is a company to watch and this spinoff may just give the stock an additional pop over the next few months.  Yes, solar isn’t as hot as it was last summer, but a correction was needed and solar is far from dead.  <\/span><\/div>\n

What I like most about Gaiam (GAIA) is that in addition to its investments in solar, it’s a green retailer pure play and well diversified.  The company sells yoga supplies, wellness instructional media, exercise equipment, eco friendly home and outdoor supplies and is even building a growing community health conscious, green and spiritual individuals.  You have to see this – they even offer a hooded fleece made out of recycled pop bottles<\/a>. Oh yeah, ..and the company is growing and growing quickly with earnings rising more than 40% last year and expected to rise another 50% here in 2008. With just 2 analysts covering the company right now, GAIA remains relatively off of <\/span>Wall St<\/span> radar, but not for long.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
