Today's stock is Yingli Green Energy (YGE), which broke out of a short cup with handle base today with strong volume.
ABOUT:

Through Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. (Tianwei Yingli), the Company's principal operating subsidiary based in China, it designs, manufactures and sells PV modules.

FUNDAMENTALS:
Yingli has been no exception to the exceptional growth seen in the solar industry over the past two years, with earnings growth nearly quadrupling in 2006. The company hit a bit of a snag with its earnings in the past two quarters but that is expected to be an aberration and the company is seen posting overall growth in 2007 of 82%, then another 90% growth in 2008.
Profit margins are good and return on equity is off the charts after a big spike over the past year. Overall, despite the hiccup in the last two quarters, this is a company with great fundamentals and a ton of momentum.
