I think the party's over for this one. I'm long on all other solar stocks though.

True, that's why I started investing in "Green" stocks. Going green is all the rage in the construction business, take a look at any related trade magazine and about every third page is something green. Before long all this will be mandated by the Federal Gov or at least penalized or rewarded through taxation, so a lot of cash will be pushed to the green companies. I picked up on FSLR after Wal-mart started using their products on the new green stores.

By the way, when AL Gore says he buys "carbon offsets" it's no charitable contribution, he's just investing in environmentally friendly companies through the investment firm he helped create. I figure he can steer world opinion and investing and put his money in just the right spot. So I'm investing the AL G way.

FSLR has a dark future ahead of itself due to a reason few even realize. It critically depends on the tellurium metal, an extremely scarce natural resource on earth. Glocal production of tellurium is only 215 tons a year. Industry demand excluding FSLR's own already exceeded the supply. FSLR will be killed by competing tellurium demands and go bankrupt in a few years. See:
