TSL: Bull or Bear?
Five Reasons to Buy Trina Solar
TSL
-79.25%
in
1146 days
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Green Stocks  Trina Solar (TSL) has had a rough couple of years. After a $10 IPO in 2006, it flew up to peak at $35 in 2007 ... only to bottom out under $4 at the end of 2008. It was partially the broader market that held back Trina, but also speculation over the viability of solar power as oil prices softened.
<>Trina Solar nearly became a bear market statistic. But the company has fought back from less than $3 a share to its current $25 price, and there are a lot of reasons to think that Trina Solar is making a comeback. In fact, it's one of <>my favorite small-cap ...

Filed under: Trina Solar ADS (TSL), Suntech Power Hldgs ADS (STP), Stocks to Buy, Green Stocks, Obama Picks  President-elect Barack Obama has often repeated his stance on alternative energy. He plans to spend $150 billion over 10 years on alternative energy, not only as part of his energy independence plan, but also in order to help clean the environment, and perhaps most important of all, to create 5 million new jobs.
With Obama winning in the polls, it is no wonder that on Tuesday solar stock prices soared: SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWRA) finished the day up 14.6%, Suntech Power (NYSE...

Solar and Oil, Part Deux

<>So...I wrote about a break in the correlation between oil and solar stocks the day before oil takes a major tumble that crushes solar stocks at the same time. The one-day massive move on September 2 did not re-establish a correlation, but it was jarring nonetheless. All sorts of stops and targets triggered, and I am still trying to sort out the meaning of the action and make plans for the next month or so. At times like these, I find writing to be a great organizing and clarifying tool. I will focus here on explaining my short-term positioning in various solar stocks since I did not do so t...

7/16 - "I believe many Chinese Solar companies like Trina Solar (TSL), Yingli (YGE), and LDK (LDK), are good buys after the recent sell off...In the past two weeks, a small perfect storm has forced solar shares much lower. There have been analyst downgrades and concerns over secondary offerings, speculation that Spain might cut subsidies, and in general, a steep sell off in Chinese and US equity markets. These stocks seem to be highly susceptible to fear, greed, analyst remarks, and speculation."
"I think all of the above concerns are mere speed bumps for these companies to roll right over...

A Look at Four Polysilicon-Based PV Manufacturers' Funding

In this post we will take a look at the future capital needs and funding requirements of four Chinese polysilicon-based PV Manufacturers. <>Briefly, our conclusion, based on current low cash levels, high outstanding short-term debt as a percentage of total capital, and future capital needs, in the form of outstanding purchase obligations listed in recent 20-F filings, is that nearly all of the companies mentioned here will have a significant weakening of balance sheets in the near term, as short-term debt levels soar to support growing operating cash losses and purchase obligations.

Bookkeeping: Taking Some Solar Exposure off the Table

It is always tricky trading solar stocks on technicals, because much like the dry bulk shippers they don't seem to trade on technicals much, but simply on macro viewpoints and sentiment. Many times you will sell a solar stock at a traditional resistance point and the whole sector gets into favor and stocks rally 30% in the following 2 weeks. Or vice versa. Perhaps this is why my style of investing falters in the solar sector.
With that said, both Yingli Green Energy (YGE) and Trina Solar (TSL) have been beaten with the ugly stick of late, but have enjoyed a couple of days of rebound. In ...

In this era where the masses only look at what Briefing.com tells <!---->them
and/or never actually open up an earnings report to look inside but
only react to the "headline" number, Trina Solar (TSL) is
giving back Thursday's gains on what I consider to be a stellar
report. The stock is back down to the $46 level, so I'll be adding to
my position when the market opens as I consider this a gift based on
what I saw. I'll explain the reality behind the numbers below.
<>As anyone in the market for more than a few months knows, earnings are all about "expectations" - Trina Solarreported $0.51 EPS ...

Which Solar Stocks Will Continue To Shine?
TSL
-87.98%
in
1837 days
In early February 2008, I wrote this article giving my thoughts on 11 solar stocks. As you will recall, the stock market was hurting in January, and so were the solar stocks. In that article, I opined that the high-PE stocks in the group - First Solar (FSLR), SunPower (SPWR), and Suntech (STP) - were overpriced, while two were underpriced and screaming “BUY ME.” I further opined that if the market is truly rational, the investment returns on the low-priced stocks would exceed the returns from the high-PE stocks. <><>In that first article, I submitted a table I had put together, wh...
