MOST NOTEWORTHY: The U.S. clean energy sector, MGI Pharma, Apple and Kosan Biosciences were today's noteworthy initiations:
- Morgan Stanley initiated the U.S. clean energy sector with an Attractive view. The analyst assumed coverage of First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), Fuel Tech (NASDAQ: FTEK) and SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) with Overweight ratings and EnerNOC, Inc (NASDAQ: ENOC) with an Underweight rating.
- Banc of America started shares of MGI Pharma (NASDAQ: MOGN) with a Buy rating and $45 target, as they expect sales growth in 2008 to be driven by Aquavan, which they view as an underappreciated asset, and potential survival data for Dacogen.

- Roth Capital initiated Kosan Biosciences (NASDAQ: KOSN) with a Buy rating and $10 target, as they are positive on the company's Hsp90 program and expect an NDA filing as early as 2009 in the relapsed-refractory settings.
