Suntech, SunPower, MEMC and First Solar: Four Solar Stocks Worth Investigating

For all of you who track the european solar and wind sector is there an ETF that can give me exposure to these companies?

Suntech, SunPower, MEMC and First Solar: Four Solar Stocks Worth Investigating

Hey Guys,

The reason I don't include Q-Cells and REC is because they are not listed here in the US.

Also, you have to decide on your entry point for all of these stocks but I think during these tough times you have to stick with quality if you are an investor. If you are a trader then go on and trade those other Chinese Solar stocks.

Also, I would love to invest in some of these Euro Solar and Wind companies but they are not listed here in the US. There is really no pure play wind company listed in the US and that is a shame.

Suntech Power Should Benefit From Kevin Rudd’s Victory Down Under

Andrew,

No, I am not short First Solar anymore. I went long right before earnings and got rewarded pretty well and that eased some of my pain. I learned the hard way with this one. Right now I am totally out of FSLR. I am still long STP and enjoying that.

Chinese Pollution Plays

ADES could benefit from this as well and from the limited research I did I couldn't find anyting about them doing business in China. I looked at their latest investor presentation on their website and couldn't find anything about China and if they are trying to expand up there. The reason I included FTEK was because they just announced a multi-million dollar contract in China.
