Financial Markets Circle the Drain: Where Does That Leave Clean Energy? [view article]
Congrats to the 40% of Republicans in the House and the 33% of Democrats in the House that blocked this. This bailout plan was a bad idea, and tons of economists came out saying so. Just doing "something" for the sake of doing "something" will get you a small bounce for a few days, but won't fix anything. Forgive me for not having a ton of confidence in 'ole Hank and Ben. And the pricetag on this one was astronomical. For you Survivor fans, $700 billion is 700,000 seasons of someone winning the million dollars. Or for you PowerBall fanatics, that's winning a hundred million jackpots 7,000 times! It is an un-Godly amount that would have saddled this country with an even bigger debt than we already have. About $2,800 each for every man, woman and child in this country. And if you think we'd get any of that back --- ask yourself this: who would sell it to us taxpayers if they would make money off of it? How about we get a REAL plan, and hammer out the details in more than a weekend? Call together all the leading economists in the country and get them together in a room, not all the Wall Street bankers! ReplyFinancial Markets Circle the Drain: Where Does That Leave Clean Energy?

No way!! The House did exactly the right thing. When the enemy is confidence, you have to do away with political aspects FIRST!Now that it's less political, time for the meat and potatoes of actually fixing the problem.
It's not over until it's over, this will be back up later this week.

AKNS's insider trading revealed something new to me - several insiders' acquisition costs are listed as "0". How does this work? I thought options, qualified or not, had a strike price. Aside from that, there was some selling in the 3rd QTR, but not, IMO, any significant % of their holdings. Thanks in advance to anyone fielding my question. ReplyHas the Sun Set on Solar Energy Stocks? [view article]
The sun has set. Heavy selling on good news is sure sign this bubble's done. A few months ago, I was reiterating the flight of Icarus. How ironic and what an amazing story. Learn from it fellows. ReplySolar Energy: Help Is on the Way [view article]
Yep, with help like this, who needs any enemies.SPWR and FSLR are clearly in bear market. Clearly. Heavy selling on good news is a sure sign the bubble has burst. SPWR is breaking through it's 10, 21, 50 and 200 day MA. FSLR formed a bear flag pattern yesterday. These will shoot down to reasonable p/e ratios. Look for them to lose at least 50% in the next two weeks. Reply

Great article and lots of good scenarios and information about the company. I am long shares of AKNS long term and have added to the position on the way down. I am looking forward to what the company will do once the tax credit bill is passed by the house. ReplySpain Considers Raising Solar Installation Cap [view article]
Spain is one of the few countries that can make large strides in these efforts. But again, we have either a government subsidy or a forced purchase at un-competitive prices. For any alternative energy to succeed sooner or later they must stand or fall on their own. This includes the conventional; oil and gas industries as well. Any subsidies to them should have ended long ago in the US after oil crossed 40 dollars a barrel. ReplySpain Considers Raising Solar Installation Cap [view article]
so now will these solar stocks rise reflecting these positive developments?next reason to sell solar growing pains and the need to finance expansion. capital needs could be at risk because of tight credit conditions.
the media campaign against solar doesnt end. Reply
Spain Considers Raising Solar Installation Cap [view article]
With financial support from Spain & the US, it looks like the solar industry is heading in the right direction. When you factor in higher coal costs (at least from the railroads which ship the coal), lower costs per watt for solar panels, as well as transmission & siting issues limiting wind energy's growth in the US, it seems more utilities will be forced by their state renewable portfolio standards to invest in more solar, including utility-scale power plants (like the 850MW plant - the size of a large coal plant - that Sunpower & another company started building recently). How can you not be bullish on solar right now? ReplyPerspective

Thin Film Solar Will Grow Eightfold By 2010 [view article]
What about SLTN.OB Gaining market share. They build the plants for thin film manufacturing and provide turnkey ops. ReplyWhen Will Solar Be Cost-Competitive with Electricity? [view article]
Having built and operated a few solar panels myself, my take is that what you read is hyped up subsidized BS with payback way too long. Once oil recedes a bit, solar will probably die (again) except for the few who understand the real economics and know how to make it work. Congrats to all who rode the wave and made $$ on the stocks. Exit happy. Leave real solar for the masses to harness in their humble ways. Reply
