Advisors' Opinion:

  Finally, outside the Dow, Power-One (NASDAQ: PWER.DL  ) soared 57% after ABB (NYSE: ABB  ) made a $1 billion bid for the solar industry player. The ABB bid values Power-One at $6.35 per share, and the stock climbed to within just a couple of cents of that figure as investors take the acceptance of the deal as a foregone conclusion. Consolidation within the solar industry has been inevitable, and with Power-One's position in the solar inverter market, ABB hopes to bolster its sales by making Power-One's equipment available to the more than 100 countries in which ABB operates.

  Moreover, other potential growth opportunities face similar competitive pressures. In the inverter market, Power-One (NASDAQ: PWER.DL  ) represented a formidable opponent even before energy giant ABB (NYSE: ABB  ) agreed to pay $1 billion to acquire the solar-inverter company.
