    A handful of solar names are posting big gains this morning: FSLR +6.4%. STP +5.6%. TSL +3.8%. JKS +9.1%. SOL +5.1%. The gains come even as the Chinese government, upset over the solar anti-dumping  tariffs imposed by the U.S. in May, threatens "legal measures" against American solar manufacturers over U.S. government support for various renewable energy programs.

  • The big difference about US government support for renewable energy programs is that the support is earmarked for domestic consumption not exports . China does almost nothing but exports !! China has to learn to quench its thirst itself first before entertaining any export ideas... China exports so much aluminium for what purposes??/ None whatsoever!! China consumes probably only a quarter of what it produces and export three quarters in aluminium overseas!

  • FSLR still hard to borrow (to short). Doubt this is a coincidence.
