  • Solar's Brightest Companies Named; Sector Outlook Is Dim [View article]
    Solarguy:

    You are dead wrong. The insiders have still been dumping at SPWR. Cypress sold 2.5 million shares. Yep, they sure are buying. This one will be in the 20's by January '09.

  • Solar Shorts Keep On Rising Even As Oil Surprises [View article]
    Secmaven, after what has happened lately in the financials, there isn't much more to go down. SPWR is at 70 now and will probably be at 20 by years end. Solars have high P/E ratios, the insiders are selling their shares the same way the inside guys at IndyMac and Countrywide were selling theirs. The solars will be the next financials.

  • Solar Sector Plunges Right Along With Market [View article]
    Unlike the little reporter on Thestreet.com, real experts, like Piper Jaffray send people to China, practically audit the company, and report as truthfully and accurately as possible, ethically, and responsibly let the public know what is going on.

    Furthermore, Zacks reports on what a multitude of analysts carefully have found out about a company. In SOL they found out it is a great investment.

    Investors Business Daily has a computer program that has no reason to lie about a company. It is a computer. IBD simply reports the profit exponential growth and compares it to 25,000 or so other companies in the world. IBD's computer report of course tells us other additional information, accurately about the company. IBD is another great source, in June proving SOL the 4th best company in the world to invest in.


    If you follow stock accumulator, that's what you will be a dead dog stock accumulator. Where to begin..........First of all, No company, entity, nor analyst has been given an accurate insight into a China company. China stock is the biggest oxymoron there is. The government controls these companies, they have a pegged currency and don't hesitate not even for a split second to lie, subjugate, opress and with violence if needed to apply their will. You can never ever believe anything that comes out of China, much less a company's fundamentals. But the pegged currency and their propensity to price fix should be enough to drive anyone away. I am a shorter, and believe I would love to short these companies, but they issue lies as much as Obama Hussein changes his platform.

    Following IBD is like following ywo week old news. There is nothing new or explosive there. If you use IBD, it's good for a 2-3% gain at best for most stocks. Every once in a blue moon they get a "winner" but so do gamblers. If you are a gambler, then by all means wait for that one payout while the majority will be losers.

    Zacks is another dubious "rater" Most of their picks don't work out. Their accuracy is also dismal. So using is worse than using IBD, because they are almost always wrong with their calls.

    The fundamentals are this guys and gals. These solar companies had a vision, just like the housing boom in the 70's and subsequent stag-flation (looks familiar doesn't it) that everyone would install these panels at rediculous prices because the economy was burning hot along. That isn't going to materialize, because alas, the suckers that put in these sytems see that the returns and savings are not what's expected. Did anyone look into solar panels for their house? That is the real test. Well I did about a year ago. The jerks wanted over 100K for a system that would still need standard electricity backup. I can afford this even without the subsides. But I evaluated this on it's own merits and came to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it. Well I am not the sharpest tack in the box, but noone has ever taken me for a fool, but this solar is just plain fool's gold.

  • Those Bubbling Solar Stocks [View article]
    Finally a voice of reason here on SA. Although those bubbleheads on CNBC are frequently wrong. I have short positions and am unable to borrow more. I held them even though I was down 30% on SPWR at one point because it ran to 100. The problem with shorting is that when there are no shares available to "borrow" anymore, that usually means the stock is set to tank, even during a run up as SPWR and FSLR had. So if you cover and take the loss, you won't be able to get back in. The bubble has burst friends. Get out while you can. SPWR is a crashing.
