SolarCity Corporation (NASDAQ:SCTY)

Elon Musk!

Now that the stock has stabilized, time to buy in.

this is a great piece. the key metric to think about is retained value. that's the value of net cash to solarcity given a 6% return. it is currently at $569 million. a $2.58 billion market cap just does not make sense.

Lockup expiration on June 11. Short-term trade ahead of new shares that should kill off a short squeeze.

Real money pick. Mostly on the strength of Musk but the blessing of Goldman Sachs has given me additional confidence to pull the trigger. Volatility on this one is through the roof, making the options premiums irresistible so I also have short strangle on this one.

matter of time more people are looking in that direction

let the short drive it hopefully. Not really a good stock to invest in though..

1) This company provides an alternative to an existing energy company. 2) They are currently only in "sunny" states and will go nationwide at one point. 3) PV technology is still a growing technology. New innovations with next-gen tech in a few years. In my belief, this will have explosive growth in a few years.

Elon Musk

More people are investing in solar energy.

Profits gotta catch up first.

Market cap to (forward) revenues is a joke...overheated

Solar baby. Parity with grid. This company sells the power, not the panels. Elon Musk has a nice touch.

Definitely one for the long haul. Elon Musk - need I say more? The man has helped make 4-billion dollar companies. His record shows that he knows what he's doing and is willing to bet his own money on his endeavours. Along with Tesla, this company will grow as time progresses. The business model is solid and will help to develop a stronger customer base as people recognize the potential benefits. There is not a lot of competition in this market, and I doubt that will change much in the future due to the high upfront capital cost required. It will be a shaky ride, but it's going to be upward trending, at least.

In Elon Musk I trust.

In term of pure unstallation only the main players are Real Goods Solar (RSOL) and Solar City (SCTY) .Real Goods Solar (RSOL) is realitively cheap in comparison to Solar city (SCTY). Real Goods has %6 of the instlation market compared to %14 for Solar City, However considering that Solar city is worth $3.5 Billions where as REal Goods (even with the recent increase) is worth $150 Millions only!. RSOL is still very very cheap or Solar City is very much over-valued. In term of play, RSOL makes sense to purchase if compared to SCTY. Further if you need more value for your money buy Gaiam (GAIA), the comany owns 40% of RSOL and its worth 100 Million, the share is trading at $4.5 (compared to $5.5 for RSOL). GAIA will reach 7-9 by 2014. A hidden gem.

As Tesla grows, so will Solar City. Solar City is the recommended installer of the Tesla charger in homes. They will also build the Tesla supercharging stations across the country. Buy this stock, stick it in your pocket for five years and then reap the rewards.

Installations will rise.

Betting on Elon Musk...
