CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a manufacturer of both photovoltaic, or PV, cells and PV modules in China. It also manufactures and sells a variety of PV cells and PV modules using advanced manufacturing process technologies.

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 members 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.

Just an easy way to improve my CAPs raiting. This whole sector is stupidly oversold.

Great value Chinese solar company that should benefit from future renewable energy tax incentives.

All the solar manufacturers have sold off because of uncertainty over whether renewable energy tax credits will be extended. I'm very sure they will be, and so have picked a number of these companies to outperform for a few months. I think the credits will be renewed, which will cause these stocks to go up in price. I even have long positions in JASO and ESLR in my real-life account. I intend to sell them soon after the tax credits are renewed, as that should cause a nice pop in the stock prices. After that, I believe solar stocks will be a bad bet. Nanosolar (not a public company) will soon flood the market with much cheaper solar cells. Based on their press release in June, they have the potential to build a staggering number of solar cells with their breakthrough panel-printing method. Assuming they are telling the truth, I would estimate their capital cost to be fifty times lower than for silicon-cell manufacturing, and their materials and labor costs to be at least ten times cheaper. Once they get rolling, they will be able to make an essentially infinite supply of panels at a tenth the current price. That will make life REALLY hard for all the other manufacturers.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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