Yeah, this earnings deal in August will be crucial to FSLR. If they blow out the numbers and can sell the prospects to the street, then this sucker could hit 160 by November. I think it could announce a 2:1 on earnings day.

But then again, this one could get slaughtered if anything out of their earnings isn't VERY STRONG forward.

Earnings could very well set the stage for a fall move up. I hope so.

Looks like an uneventful day the rest of trading.

Am content to be boring with GTLS.

Good luck on WFR, Best.

Have a good one!

Are you talking about the market in general? To me the more they sell in the summer, the higher chance we move back and higher in the fall. The lack of selling to me COULD mean selling after Labor Day.

FSLR is too new of a company to announce a split..I dont see them doing it. To me they are not great at communicating to the market..they havent done a good job thus far. News about the plant in Germany is non-existant..

I will be tempted with some Aug calls/puts on FSLR..maybe 5-10 bucks from the price on both directions..I expect a 20-30 buck move depending on where the stock is by then. I wouldnt be shocked to see 120 by earnings, not after but by earnings.

The larger players want the stock higher..defies everything I know and that makes sense, but up she goes.

thats interesting ws but lets talk about the 10 year yield with interest rates falling to around the 5 to 5.05 rate this bodes well for a bull market i see a strong 3rd quarter as long as interest rates stay in check.

Fslr will blow thru earnings with 154 percent growth over previous quarter shorts will get squeezed to death look at the short interest in fslr the short interest on a month to month basis has increased over 550 percent

160. fslr.

maybe

by end of december.

(now, it's doomed)

WS-

Talking about FSLR, not market. Yes, good point.....maybe too young to start doing the split thing. You know as well as I that if their earnings in August aren't blow-out, and I mean BLOW-OUT then this stock will get decapitated, and the shorts will cheer wildly. And there'll be no time to get on the short train, cause it'll drop 30-40% in the after-market on a gap.

I've seen it all before, and that is why FSLR is scary. Chasing this thing is lunacy.....it can only be bought on a decent pull-back, and then sold before earnings unless you have inside info.

GTLS is my solid vehicle for the rest of the CY.

It is 30.5 now (high), but I think it has legs to 35 by end of year. I think it could be bought very small now, and much larger on any pullbacks. There'll be little stress and roller-coasting with this one.

14.75% on my money for the next six months without anxiety attacks is good enough for me.

Anjoy the holiday, guys!!!!

i wanted some opinions...

SLB - @ 85... report earnings end of july... i think they will beat est and be a $100 stock within a couple months

ETR - could be forming a double bottom @ 105 w/ breakthrough @ 112.5... if it does breakthrough, i think it will be a 120 stock

ICE - i hate keeping the back-and-forth nature of this CME/CBOT/ICE crap... i think ICE could be a $167-169 stock, but i cannot predict how these negotiations will pan out

Tough time logging on in Mexico..horrible satellite internet service.

I am quite pissed at LOCM, I take a 500 buck loss and the stock is now 1.50 higher than where I bot.

Tough time having a real tight stop daytrading..but it is a definate learning tool.

Yeah LOCM up almost 30% again today. Lot of manipulation going on but the bottom line is good IMO. Lots of interest in acquiring this company still very cheap just barely over 100 mil. It'll take twice that at least.

i got in BCON 3 days ago at 1.35. 5 trading days ago it was 1.1. today again it close at the hod at 1.63. looks like lots of good news on tap for this one. the bad news is dilution is on the way but they need funding for their bright looking future.

LOCM is not getting slammed. Holding strong above $12. Yeah, it's down around 5% on the day but that's pennies with this stock now after being up 45% yesterday. I'm holding long-term come hell or high water. We'll see. If I was looking for quick money I probably would have sold at $7,8,9,10 and 11. Bottom line I think multiple companies would bid much higher for this co. than the current valuation. $25-30 target.

i agree wallstreet the fundamentals are not there ! it is a zero. i certainly do not reccommend this fundamentally. in fact it was almost delisted this past week. it has held over a buck now and can remain being traded on the naz.

personally i like the way it was moving thats why i got in. then i read their annual report and decided to stay in. at this point i am holding and will await to see the action this week.

spottie,

yeah you have it right. I have been in or around BCON for 5 plus yrs and they are good for runs when alt-energy moves up, but in the end they will dissapoint and dilute. On nearly any run up they ALWAYS do a stupid secondary at brutal terms..then have bad earnings and the stock gets smashed.

Who knows, maybe they are turning a corner, I just dont see a huge large scale margin business in flywheel technology.

Its definately a scary ride, but I hope it works out for you.

Those Alt and Clean Energy ETF's continue to outperform the market. Really great way to play the market going forward IMO. Some of the individual stocks are hit and miss but the area of clean and renewable energy, etc. is only going to accelerate. Put in your IRA's and forget about em. PZD, PBW, PUW
