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.

This Week's Short Interest Developments: FSLR, TMOAF.PK, ILMN

These 9 companies all announced earnings results last week. These stocks show some interesting price movements and changes in short interest. For example, the short base in First Solar (FSLR) is close to its three year high, and earnings Thursday were well below expectations.

Tomtom (TMOAF.PK) also disappointed and sentiment has been further hit by the announcement of the Google (GOOG) entry to the satnav phone market. The short base is currently over 9% and has more than doubled in the past few weeks.

The oil embargo of 1973 was the first incident, with OPEC’s “October War” when they decided to stop shipping oil to countries that supported Israel. Followed by the “Energy Crisis of 1979”, which saw Iran’s oil infrastructure impeded due to a coup d’état that installed Ayatollah Khomeini as the new ruler.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>...
