Money Morning's "unloved" stock to buy this week is smart Wi-Fi technology provider Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS).

Ruckus stock came to the attention of Money Morning Defense & Tech Specialist Michael Robinson in late September. He liked the fact that RKUS supplies a technology that will soon be in very high demand. Ruckus stock is down 37% from September.

Most investors focus exclusively on buying stocks in an attempt to capture huge returns. That's too bad, because it means they restrict themselves to half the opportunities available to them.
I bring this up because markets move up AND down, which means there is plenty of profit potential to be had in both directions.
George Soros, for instance, is reported to have made $1 billion in a single trade that famously almost broke the Bank of England in 1992.

Solar power is leading the clean energy sector toward a tipping point. It's a brand new age for renewable energy. Gone are the days of requisite private investment for progress and innovation.

Target Corp. had one chance to make a good first impression in Canada… and blew it. And Target stock may soon feel the effects.
I know because I saw it clearly for myself.
While that may sound harsh, it's the reality of what happened.
Just two years into their expansion north of the border, and billions of dollars later, the chain's closing up shop and taking a big hit.
This should never have happened and it is another blow to an increasingly punch-drunk retailer.
Here's the story behind it and what to do...
