Soaring Solar, solong (PFLM)     

hangon - 07 Jun 2007 14:27

I wonder if we aren't bonkers?
This is a small stock value at an expensive price.The product is very interesting and has some military and commercial users, I understand.
But this is all about being Green by using solar power...which is hideously expensive to produce so only someone that has no alternative (or wants to spend money on PR) would contemplate.
In 10years time we shall see greater efficiencies and lower cost per watt - but the current sp shows it like it isn't - IMHO.
Indeed at 35p it might be a good investment to help tip a portfolio into the "green". but at 3.50 - ...arrgh.
Perhaps it's me, I'll lie down.

25 Sept up 33% - on no News and just �40k-worth of Buys.

-No this is still not "quite right", IMHO . . . . . maybe if it had continued to fall to sub20p - then the "Risk/Rewards" would be a lot better ( twice as good as "today" ), so I'm prepared to wait . . .

Note that UK plc is making noises that our energy must come from coal + Nuclear and by selling off Nuclear, UK-Gov will leave the construction-bill to the French and the "Market price" for elec "at coal-prices".....quite a neat fix for Labour to employ more miners . . . and improve some run-down areas, in traditional areas.
/
However, This requires that we drop Green-Elec ideas - and that must lead to a softening of Solar-cells. SO invest ONLY if it's cheap . . . . . IMHO.
I suggest the same fate will befall Wind-generators . . . . . . . . always a daft idea I thought.
At least Wave-power + Tidal is predictable!
EDIT(26Jn09)-18p mid - down 30% on results. - stll way too expensive - for me 1.8p would be nearer the mark - and- that when punters are likely to return to flash the Market . . . . . .
EDIT-(29Jy09)- yesterday the Co bought its own share - will they never learn? - so todays rise is purely an arithmetic exercise - I doubt that folk are suddenly buying solar-cells, rather with few new-builds I doubt Architechs are even thinking about any solar electrics. This last week has been dull and rainy (UK-here,) with floods predicted....Oooer.
EDIT-(23Jn10)-up 17% on No News in the past month; still, Wimbledon is on and the sun is shining...now 27p - Investors must have been in the sun too long.
EDIT_(2Jy10)_24p to buy, but not yet, maybe at 12p I might, but "over here?"...Note: I'd suggested 1.8p ...doesn't look as though punters will let that happen, pity.
EDIT (9May2012)- Oh deary, 16p(today=down 15%), that's half this time last year...
