Top High Tech Companies To Buy Right Now

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the Federal Reserve's decision not to taper its asset purchases, gold is getting a nice boost.

Telling TheStreet's Gregg Greenberg his take on the yellow metal is Christopher Blasi, president of Neptune Global Holdings.

Gold prices are near $1,370 an ounce, and Blasi said the Fed is helping the metal's long-term move higher, after suffering a nasty correction earlier this year. Investors can gain exposure to gold by purchasing the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).

Blasi also said the metal should be substantially higher in two to three years but may have some downward pressure in the next three to four months. Ultimately, when central banks print money, they weaken a nation's currency strength, subsequently weakening the purchasing power for assets such as gold. That means more money is required to buy the same amount of something -- for instance, an ounce of gold. However, Blasi said he expects that the U.S. dollar will get a bounce soon, which will put downward pressure on the precious metal. Overall, though, he expects gold to be just fine over the long haul. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

  Naturally the news is a big positive for the industry, with Chinese solar names like Yingli (YGE), Trina (TSL), Canadian Solar (CSIQ) -- which is actually Chinese despite its name -- JinkoSolar (JKS), JA Solar (JASO), and LDK Solar (LDK) each up more than 10% at midday. The Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN), which tracks several global solar companies, was up 8%, breaking to a new 52-week high.

  What: After a two-day run-up in solar stocks, the party ended quickly, and every stock in the industry is dropping like a rock. Suntech Power (NYSE: STP  ) led the declines by falling 23%, and LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK  ) , Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE  ) , and JA Solar (NASDAQ: JASO  ) all dropped at least 15%.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Finally, beyond the Dow, Chinese solar stock JA Solar (NASDAQ: JASO  ) has dropped 9.1% following an analyst downgrade. Despite soaring sales during the past quarter, with particularly strong growth in the Japanese market, JA Solar still isn't close to making money and has to rely on the potential for module prices to rise once some of its Chinese competitors drop out of the picture. Funding sources continue to provide financing to many struggling Chinese solar companies, and this forestalling of the day of reckoning is bad for companies like JA Solar that would benefit the most from a shakeout.
