The future of First Solar looks everything else as rosy. First Solar closes all factories in Germany, 1200 jobs is lost. The danger of a new sharp fall in prices is very probable. $ 9,70 are possible. The change at the group's leaders had already serious reasons. http://charting.nasdaq.com/ext/charts.dll?2-1-17-0-0-00800200... http://www.otcbb.com/asp/quote_module.asp?qm_page=52952&symbo...

The Company expects diluted earnings per share (EPS) for 2011 to be in the range of $5.75 to $6.00, with consolidated operating income of $575 to $600 million. The primary reason for the revised 2011 guidance is continued delays of certain projects in First Solar’s systems business due to weather and other factors.

The First Solar Roller-Coaster Continues Graphic_rating_buy FSLR

Filed under: Stocks to Buy

The shares of First Solar Inc. (FSLR), first discussed here on February 1, 2010, at a price of $113.81, continue to progress, but it's been a wild ride and the shares definitely are not for squeamish investors.

Further, First Solar's roller-coaster pattern continued this autumn: a rise to $150 in October was followed by a plunge to $120 in November; FSLR currently trades at about $135.

First Solar should post a 20% to 25% revenue increase in 2010, and a 35% to 40% revenue increase in 2011, and it's those eye-opening growth rates that have attracted the attention of ...

Generally, my bias is toward large-cap companies with a demonstrated business model. In a nutshell, "experimental" business models need not apply. However, every once in a while I make an exception, and First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) is one. Here's why:

In addition to growth potential for its proprietary thin film semiconductor solar module technology, First Solar has a building macroeconomic tailwind in the bottoming U.S./global recession and dawning recovery. The First Call FY2009/FY2010 EPS estimates for FSLR are $7.18 to $8.72.

The downside reward is much greater now that the stock is up 24% today. The upside risk is lower. Long term, FSLR sells a commodity product whose margins will come down due to competitive pressure. Margin risk shouldn't be underestimated in this stock, since current margins are fat enough to invite plenty of different types of competition.

"President Obama has stated that he's been studying Roosevelt's first 100 days and the way out of the current economic mess will look a lot like the New Deal," says David Fessler.

The advisory panelist for The Oxford Club explains, "Seventy-five years after Roosevelt's inauguration, I think we will soon see President Obama get the ball rolling on his version of the New Deal, focused on two very specific areas: energy and infrastructure." Here, he looks at stocks poised to benefit.

If there was any doubt whether the rally at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 was anything but a bear market rally, this week put these doubts to rest. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is already down 8.3% year-to-date; it sank 6.2% this week alone (notwithstanding Friday).

This week the financial crisis once again took center stage as Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE: C) received a second round of bailout money and more guarantees. BAC is finding ...
