TAN vs. ETF Alternatives
TAN Description
The Guggenheim/MAC Global Solar Energy Index ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the MAC Global Solar Energy Index. The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock, American depositary receipts and global depositary receipts that comprise the Index. Guggenheim Advisors, LLC seeks a correlation over time of 0.95 or better between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index. The Index is designed to track companies within the following business segments of the solar energy industry: companies that produce solar power equipment and products for end-users, companies that produce fabrication products (such as the equipment used by solar cell and module producers to manufacture solar power equipment) or services (such as companies specializing in the solar cell manufacturing or the provision of consulting services to solar cell and module producers) for solar power equipment producers, companies that supply raw materials or components to solar power equipment producers or integrators; companies that derive a significant portion of their business (measured in the manner set forth below under “Index Methodology" section) from solar power system sales, distribution, installation, integration or financing; and companies that specialize in selling electricity derived from solar power.

Friday, May 24, 4:42 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: GDXJ +6.5%. GAZ +6.3%. TAN +5.2%. UNG +4.4%. GDX +4.3%.
ETF Losers: WPS -6.1%. EWJ -5.7%. EWA -5.6%. EPI -5.6%. IYR -3.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, May 24, 12:21 PM Solar stocks (TAN +0.8%; KWT +1.5%) wrap up a banner week, as Chinese solar panel makers begin to shift emphasis from their overcrowded home market in favor of lucrative exports. The rally was sparked by JA Solar's better than expected shipments, but analysts call for caution: The stocks are addicted to momentum, and stock moves are often disconnected from dire market prospects most of the companies face. Comment! [Tech, Energy]
- Wednesday, May 22, 10:19 AM Talks designed to ease the solar panel trade spat between China and the EU by agreeing on export prices have failed, Xinhua reports. Solar shares are broadly lower: STP -18.7%, JASO -3.4%, TSL -2.3%, YGE -2.5%, SPWR -2.5%, LDK -7.3%, JKS -4.1%, FSLR -2.5%. Comment! [Energy, Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, May 20, 10:45 AM JA Solar (JASO +34.4%) is now skying higher following its Q1 beat and full-year shipment guidance reiteration, and is providing fresh fuel for the colossal solar stock rally that started last fall (TAN +4.4%). TSL +13.3%. DQ +20%. LDK +9.9%. JKS +10.3%. SCTY +11.6%. SOL +9.4%. CSUN +8.9%. SPWR +4.9%. ASTI +9.4%. YGE +8.4%. CSIQ +6.6%. The fact 38% of JA's Q1 module shipments went to Japan (a market with higher ASPs/margins than China) is likely going over well with investors. 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]

SIVR -6.7%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Wednesday, May 15, 2:14 PM Solar stocks continue to surge (TAN +4.6%) following SunPower's strong analyst day guidance. A few more winners: DQ +19.8%. SCTY +4.3%. JASO +9.2%. CSUN +7.9%. YGE +6.8%. Chinese solar names could also be getting a lift from news bankrupt Suntech (STP +9.7%) has reached a new forbearance agreement with a majority of its convertible debtholders, under which the debtholders agree not to exercise their rights until June 28. Also: LDK (LDK +8%) has filed its 2012 20-F. (yesterday) (Monday) 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, May 13, 11:27 AM SolarCity (SCTY +18.6%) is skyrocketing ahead of today's Q1 report - does someone know something? - and many other solar peers are also doing pretty well (TAN +4.5%). SOL +9.8%. CSIQ +11.6%. WFR +8%. LDK +9.3%. JASO +5.4%. SPWR +4.8%. FSLR +4.5%. GTAT +5.2%. JKS +7.9%. Short interests for many industry names remain sky-high: SolarCity had 16.6% of its float shorted as of April 30. SunPower was at 29.9%, First Solar 33.4%, and GT Advanced 34.8%. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

ETF Losers: GAZ -4.5%. UNG -3.6%. FXA -3.0%. EWY -2.7%. EWA -2.7%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, May 10, 12:29 PM Volatile/well-shorted solar stocks are ripping higher (TAN +5.4%) to close out a week in which the EU imposed long-expected tariffs on Chinese solar panel imports. TSL +10%. CSIQ +16.1%. STP +9.1%. SCTY +8.6%. SOL +8.3%. JASO +7.5%. FSLR +4.6%. JKS +9.4%. LDK +3.4%. SPWR +7.8% A Reuters column today notes the pace of module price declines is expected to slow, as weaker players are forced out and U.S./emerging markets demand gradually soaks up excess capacity. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 7, 10:43 AM Solar stocks head south (TAN -3.3%) in sympathy with First Solar, which is giving back some of this year's huge gains in response to a Q1 miss, a margin drop, and pipeline visibility concerns. SCTY -8.1%. LDK -6.2%. JASO -5.9%. SPWR -4.8%. CSIQ -4.3%. WFR -3.8%. YGE -3.5%. TSL -3.4%. GAT -3.1%. JKS -6.2%. The declines come a few days after a rally triggered by SunPower's strong Q1. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 2, 4:37 PM Solar stocks spiked in the final hour of trading (TAN +2.3%) after SunPower's blowout Q1 results were leaked. LDK +8%. JKS +9.5%. JASO +11%. TSL +7.5%. WFR +3.6%. DQ +4.6%. YGE +3.7%. FSLR +1.4% after spending most of the day in negative territory. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +14.6%. XHB +6.2%. OIL +5.5%. USO +5.5%. PHYS +4.4%.
ETF Losers: VXX -5.8%. GAZ -5.3%. UNG -4.5%. DBA -1.0%. EPI -0.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, April 24, 12:59 PM First Solar (FSLR +12.9%) and other solar stocks (TAN +3%) are sharply higher, apparently related to news the MLP Parity Act is being re-introduced today in the House and Senate - a bill that's not likely to even pass and is not a game changer. JKS +12.1%, SPWR +10.7%, STP +11.4%, LDK +9.6%. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 12:49 PM Disappointing Chinese GDP data helps fuel a rout in solar stocks (TAN -3.8%). A broader selloff in risk assets isn't helping either. Suntech (STP -21.1%) is the biggest loser, as the Buffett rumor rally officially comes to an end. JASO -11.8%. LDK -10.7%. YGE -8%. WFR -7.9%. GTAT -5.9%. SOL -8.2%. TSL -6.9%. SPWR -5.1%. JKS -8.5%. DQ -5.2%. YGE -8%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Friday, April 12, 5:26 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +14.8%. GAZ +5.1%. REMX +3.9%. EWJ +3.7%. IDV +3.5%.
ETF Losers: GDXJ -9.1%. VXX -8.7%. GDX -8.1%. PHYS -7.0%. GLD -5.8%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, April 10, 12:38 PM Many solar stocks are giving back some of yesterday's monumental First Solar-driven gains. A weak Q4 report from JinkoSolar (JKS -5%) is a likely factor: in addition to soundly missing estimates, Jinko reported a gross margin of just 3.8% (-200 bps Q/Q and +820 bps Y/Y), and guided for Q1 module shipments to fall to 270MW-300MW from Q4's 301.9MW. YGE -7.4%. SOL -6.2%. LSK -4.5%. CSUN -2%. LDK -4.5%. TSL -1.6%. SunPower (SPWR -2.7%) is lower in spite of receiving an upgrade to Buy from S&P. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
