I mentioned FSLR in another thread. Think it was around $104 then. Closed today at $91.55. Be doing pretty good had I actually bought some puts. I believe it's still going lower.

If oil prices ease (which I think they will be) throughout the remainder of the year then solar will probably come down more (sectorwise) as a whole with it...

I like FSLR but it may come down more like you suggest lux...nice call from $104
...I just wish Ethanol would go away and the subsidies along with it (what a disaster, imho) and solar continue to grow over the long term...just my wish...

Yeah, FSLR got an upgrade today and it's still down 10%.

Nice call on ETFC and PCU.
Man, I like that dividend on PCU. What's going on with them that it's down that much?

PCU - Copper demand falling (speculation).....was priced for perfection with continued strong copper demands...

ETFC - Many didnt realize that E-Trade has a sig segment of their business in Home Mortgages in addition to being a discount broker.....recent Put/Call ratios were an excellent indication for this fall, along with the market as a whole...

FSLR - Look at the price of crude, as it falls, so will solar imo...again, great call from $104...

I had forgotten about that with etrade. I saw their ceo on a tv show a while back and he mentioned that the broker business was a very small percentage of their revenue.
