My Stock of the Day: DOW The Dow Chemical Company is working with CalTech and Sol Systems, LLC, to improve the efficiency of solar power so as to make it far more cost-efficient than fossil fuel. My 5-year Yahoo chart for Dow Chemical shows a brisk recovery from the market lows of 2009, followed by mostly sideways price movement from 2010 through 2012 and into early 2013. My 3-month chart suggests bottom feeders need to be patient is their search for a good moment to acquire more shares of DOW. Never forget this: All investments and savings are gambles on the unknowable future and thus subject to loss. MIT Focus: Breakthrough Tech Here’s how the editors of MIT Technology Review approach their search for breakthrough technology: “Our definition of a breakthrough is simple: an advance that gives people powerful new ways to use technology. It could be an intuitive design that provides a useful interface (see Smart Watches) or experimental devices that could allow people who have suffered brain damage to once again form memories (Memory Implants). Some could be a key to sustainable economic growth (Additive Manufacturing) and Supergrids), while others could change how we communicate (Temporary Social Media) or think about the unborn (Prenatal DNA Sequencing). Some are brilliant feats of engineering (Baxter). Others stem from attempts to rethink longstanding problems in their fields (Deep Learning and Ultra-Efficient Solar Power). As a whole, we intend this annual list not only to tell you which technologies you need to know about, but also to celebrate the creativity that produced them."
