Reading an article that pointed out FLSR has big insider selling. Along with their discount pricing this may continue to send the stock lower. Interesting analysis and I would like to track this.

After the recent earnings announcement and short covering move this looks to be a good entry to the short side.

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.

Just something to keep your eye on as your politicians promise you that the US will be the world leader in green tech jobs.  In fact they have to layer countless more debt on your children and grandchildren for temporary jobs, to make this dream come true.  Most likely this promise will come next spring as the next massive stimulus hits to create "green jobs" retrofitting buildings and such.  Meanwhile, ask where the production is and what work we will be left with after we borrow money from China to create temporary jobs.  [<>Nov 2, 2009: Lack of Green Energy Manufacturing Capability in ...
