Jersey City, NJ - October 5, 2007

The LocateStock.com HIGH FIVE for Friday, October 5th are:

5 - Huntsman Corp. - NYSE:HUN
4 - Yingli Green Energy Holding - NYSE:YGE
3 - NutriSystem - NASDAQ:NTRI
2 - China Finance Online - NASDAQ:JRJC
1 - LDK Solar - NYSE:LDK

Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) engages in the manufacture and marketing of
differentiated, inorganic, and commodity chemical products. It operates in
six segments: Polyurethanes, Materials and Effects, Performance Products,
Pigments, Polymers, and Base Chemicals.
* Chemicals company Huntsman Corp. said recently that it entered into a
memorandum of understanding to settle lawsuits that seek to stop a vote on
its pending $10.6 billion acquisition by private-equity company Apollo
Management LP. Under the proposed settlement, Huntsman agrees to make
additional disclosures in its definitive proxy statement, which it sent to
shareholders last week, according to a filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Huntsman denies all allegations of wrongdoing. Huntsman
said the proposed settlement won't affect the timing of the buyout. Shares
of HUN lost 10 cents or .38% to $26.30 on Thursday.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, (NYSE:YGE) through its
subsidiary, Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., engages
in the design, development, marketing, manufacturing, and installation and
sale of photovoltaic products in the People's Republic of China and
internationally. Its products include polysilicon ingots and wafers,
photovoltaic cells and modules, and integrated photovoltaic systems.
* China Sunergy led solar-stock gains on Wednesday, as some investors sent
shares soaring higher, while others took profits from elevated prices
following reports of potential solar-power expansion in Spain. Solar stocks
are up almost 50 percent, on average, since the end of August, according to
a note from Banc of America analyst Eric Brown on Wednesday. Gains have been
fueled, in part, by speculation Spain will use more solar power. On Monday,
Spain's Minister of Industry, Joan Clos, said a proposed incentive plan
would triple the country's targeted solar capacity to 1.2. Shares of solar
maker Yingli Green Energy lost 3.5% Wednesday and an additional 94 cents or
3.16% Thursday.

NutriSystem, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRI) provides weight management and fitness
products and services in the United States. Its weight management program
consists of a pre-packaged food program and counseling.
* Shares of diet company NutriSystem sank Thursday to their lowest point in
nearly two years after a slew of analysts blamed competition from a new diet
drug for a drop in new customers. At least five analysts downgraded
NutriSystem's shares by midday as the stock price dropped $15.98, or 33.59%,
to $31.59. Earlier in the day, the shares slipped to $30.60, their lowest
point since November 2005. The stock drop started after the company slashed
its third-quarter guidance after the market closed Wednesday, mainly due to
a 7 percent drop in new customers.
China Finance Online Co. Limited, (NASDAQ:JRJC) through its subsidiaries,
engages in selling online financial services analyzing financial and listed
company information in the People's Republic of China. It offers
subscription-based services based on a single information platform that

sells multicrystalline solar wafers to the manufacturers of solar cells and
solar modules in the People's Republic of China and internationally. It
offers multicrystalline solar wafers between 180 and 240 microns in
thickness.

* Shares of LDK Solar initially rose Thursday morning after the Chinese
solar wafer maker said an internal audit revealed no evidence of wrongdoing
related to the way it reports inventory. LDK said it conducted an
investigation after its former financial controller, Charley Situ, said the
company has been inconsistent in reporting its inventory. CIBC World Markets
also downgraded the stock from sector perform to sector underperform on
Thursday. Shares of LDK lost $3.35 or 6.49% on the NSYE.
