sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "This is a wind power stock and I'm bullish on wind power. But this one has gone up huge and I think we need to take our profits now."	Love	August 14, 2008
barrons2	I sense that everything from the wind power division of Otter Tail (OTTR) to Broadwind Energy could be vulnerable to takeovers. I own Trinity (TRN) because I believe that inside of Trinity is a dynamic wind business with a huge wind backlog.	Love	July 31, 2008

barrons2	Otter Tail (OTTR), the only one in the group with a gain of 15.8%. Cramer said the poor performance of the Wind-ex stocks has nothing to do with the wind power business, but rather with the industrial components of all of the companies. He reminded viewers that as wind power accounts for larger portions of their earnings, the other divisions will account for less. He views the current weakness in the stocks as a valid pullback and a buying opportunity.	Love	July 17, 2008
James Altucher	Utility company in Northwest. Bill Gates second largest shareholder after Tontine. 3% dividend. Owns DMI Industries which cant even keep up with demand for wind towers. Probably will spin out DMI.	Love	July 12, 2008

barrons2	According to Cramer, Otter Tail's wind power division, DMI Industries, is "on fire." DMI accounted for 27 cents a share of the company's most recent earnings, up 42% from just 19 cents in 2006. Cramer said this 63% growth is hard to find in any industry. Cramer speculated that if Otter Tail were to spin off its DMI division the stock could double in value. DMI, he said, has a solid $289 million backlog and an 18% market share. The company is also expanding its three plants in Canada to help meet its growing demand. Cramer called Otter Tail "the best play for wind power out there," and encouraged the company's management to bring DMI to the forefront of their earnings calls. He called the strong a strong buy under $37 a share.	Love	April 25, 2008
