Solar Rises As Senate Adds 'Tax Extender' Legislation to Bailout Bill

pretty ironic that this thing would've been left in the gutter if the u.s. economy wasn't tanking!

fingers are crossed that the house approves the measure. i bought in big on solar yesterday in anticipation that the senate would vote "yea".

and they did!

so...good for my portfolio AND the environment.

just the way i like it.

Solarfun's Huge Run: Time To Lock in Solar Profits

User 76581 --

I'm speculating that since a lot of the daily market drama is driven by hedge funds...and since these hedge funds use an army of computers to make automatic technical trades...that's why you saw today's drop on solar stocks...they ran up to value "x", the hedge-funds grabbed their profits, and now they go down...but the fundamentals are still the same...so the overall TREND-LINE should be up...

Again, this is pure speculation on my part. But i think it's the Quants (the algorithms the hedgies derive from their quantitative analyses of the market sectors) which drive these up and down prices.

Black box trading.

I normally don't comment in the negative, but this article really irked me. How the author managed to link Obama/Biden with SOLF is beyond me...if there's any politician to reference it's the Governator (Schwarzenegger) in CA...who's state inked a big deal with SPWR recently.

Sorry, Kevin, this isn't analysis. It barely event qualifies as drunken bar chatter.

Solar Co's are growth stocks. Oil may go down in the short term, but in the long-term it's up up up.

And as an aside, it's truly pathetic that the majority of Americans think we can drill ourselves out of our energy crisis. We need to conserve and develop alternative/renewable fuels.

And yes, I am voting for Obama/Biden.
