Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Welcome back Solarfun, oh how I missed thee! After over a 105% run in a matter of days I've deemed them worthy of another such run. Solarfun is producing huge contracts and is set to grow revenues at over 230% this year and 101% next year. They have seen their earnings estimates rise so dramatically...More

Got 25 points on an outperform last week, should get 25 to the downside this week... love the volatility. This was a $14 stock last week... no reason for this $21 nonsense.

The same as with my other alternative energy picks, solar will be very relevant over the next few years. Even though oil has begun to drop, I think we're past the tipping point.

All good enough for my money. I only suggest stocks that I own !

(See posts 388/584/665/760/1051/1807/2213/3546/3755/4046/4208/4225/4345/4573/4818/5241/5242/5310
5169 on 'Investment Analysis Clubs / Dynamic Value Investing ' board for extra due diligence applied ). **MaxPrice is a generic version of Mike Klein's Maxprice and ROC and Earnings yields are generic versions of Greenblatt's metrics. *** PosFCF generic % free cash flow yield taken from AAII and posts 5248 and 5253

See 'Investment Analysis Clubs / Dynamic Value Investing' board and my CAPS profile for further excellent companies selling at a discount to Maxprice with excellent current metrics. CAPS only shows my selections over 100Mill (unfortunately due to restricted lower market cap applied by MF CAPS).

As stated on the 'Investment Analysis Clubs /Dynamic Value Investing' board my aim is to obtain up to 50% returns p.a. as Buffett stated he could obtain (3 times) recently. A very difficult task but you can follow along with my buys and sells on my CAPS page, where I put my money where my mouth is . If I perform well I hope you can benefit. If not , feel free to ignore my comments. CAPS allows each and everyone of us to be clinically judged on our stock picking abilities over the LONG TERM.

Please always do your own due diligence before investing.

Whatever, this is the cheapest solar stock (The $14 solarfun, not the $28 solarfun of last month)... at $14 this stock is still grossly overvalued, but it has upside to 20 due to stupid people buying the hype. This is a hot potato, but should get a bounce as people try to buy "what's working"--or what was working last month.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
