Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

Also should consider what happens US. It was up 18% last night which explained the gap up this morning. I think the US likes these sort of company more than we do! Someone on other BB posted a broker's target is $40 (currently $26.31). This would equate something like 1000p!

don't be silly ..... divide by approx 4 not 2

Yes cynic!
currently in US its $26.31 with target of $40 divide that 4 gives 1000p!
Thats what I said Silly!

mea culpa .... lol!

The US just loving this share!

Five Big Bulls To Know For May 16
May 16, 2008 | By Ayton MacEachernThe stock markets are constantly providing us with hot stocks. If you're willing to take extreme risks, you have the opportunity to see extraordinary gains virtually every single trading day. In reality though, the average investor is not in a position to take on the amount of risk that is necessary to get in front of these big moves before they happen. And so, we find ourselves waiting for the moves to begin before jumping on board and hoping that the rally will continue. By doing this, we are effectively becoming momentum traders.



Investors and traders that do this often come to know the thrills and profit that can be had from hopping in on these momentum stocks. But the most important part of being a momentum trader is knowing how to separate truly great stocks from those that have just simply been pumped up for the wrong reasons. These rallies can provide big money from taking advantage of movement for the right reasons. However, big money can be lost even faster. If you get in at the end of a rally, the phrase "buy high and sell low" will become a constant drumbeat in your skull. For these reasons, it is important when looking at a company that has seen extraordinary gains to make sure to understand why the gains have occurred; at least to help in preventing us from picking the wrong opportunities. (For further reading, be sure to check out our related article Riding The Momentum Investing Wave.)


Let's take a look at a few stocks with bullish momentum. Here are five companies, whose stocks have produced relatively large gains this week:

*Data as of market close May 15, 2008



It is important to note, that while these single-week gains certainly seem impressive, it is crucial to dig beneath the surface to see what has caused these extraordinary gains.

In a market (as measured by the S&P 500) that has declined about 3% since the beginning of 2008, equity investors have had to look hard to find good returns in their portfolios. By diversification into the right global companies, though, savvy investors have been able to beat the market. This has helped them to steer clear of the slowing U.S economy that has been the cause of most of the pain in the current equities market. (Read more on diversification in our articles Introduction To Diversification, and The Importance of Diversification.)

This can be seen in this week's list of bulls, as China leads the pack. My favorite on this list, though, was introduced not long ago in our article Earth Day Stocks To Know.

Basking In Solar
Solar stocks across the globe were boosted this week, as witnessed in the three solar stocks on our gainers list this week. Leading the charge is ReneSola, which blew everyone away with a 50% gain this week on news it topped Q1 expectations. First quarter net revenue grew over 240% to $124 million compared to revenue of just $35 million in Q1 2007. Revenue even increase almost 30% from the $96 million that was seen in last year's fourth quarter. Along with increased revenue, ReneSola also increased profits; bringing in $17.7 million in net income compared to $6.8 million in the same quarter last year - an increase of 160%!

Not only has ReneSola released earnings that have impressed, it has raised its guidance going forward. ReneSola recently announced it has signed a six-year agreement to supply 525 megawatts of solar wafers to Taiwanese solar-cell maker Gintech Energy. An increase of only 15 megawatts of production (to 67 megawatts for Q1) caused revenue and profits to soar skyrocket this quarter. Just imagine what this new huge deal will mean. It represents an increase in production of roughly 22 megawatts per quarter for six-years (calculated as 525 / 6 years / 4 quarters).

ReneSola, is a solar stock that is making money, and growing at an exponential rate. The industry is constantly growing as the world becomes more consciences about how it finds its energy, and Renesola is situated in a country whose energy demands are growing just as fast as its economy- China.

China's GDP growth was estimated at 11.4% in 2007, and Renesola is in a position to continue making money for its investors. Stock Picking Community members agree, with ReneSola boasting a 100% bullish community sentiment. Members such as 7mood, and noreyes feel that high oil prices will be good for this provider of alternative energy. 7mood also mentions that the company "saves costs with a lot of efficiency." How else could Renesola produce increases in net income so easily?

What do you think will happen with ReneSola going forward? Will its new production contracts and business efficiencies continue to keep this bull's momentum on the upswing?

Will this continue its positive trend next week or will it be time for a break,any views.

i am always concerned when i see articles effectively stating "can't lose", as that invariably means you can and probably will lose a lot and very quickly!

whatever the merits or otherwise of SOLA, it is certainly now a much more dangerous stock to trade as UK price will affect USA ADR and vice versa.

At least they didn't call it the next BP, that's normally fatal!

Surely, for those people trading shares, it would seem sensible to bank some profits, even if it's just top slicing. This can't go on forever!

Solar is back in the spotlight so would rather keep running it at this stage. Look also at PVCS today, great results and new highs.

Greyhound ..... in that case watch out for or protect against sharp and unexpected reversal .... as was said previously, nothing keeps going up in a straight line

quite true especially with resistance at new highs, but with the sector strong this "could" break new ground, significantly.

I'm fortunate enough to be seeing very strong performance in a lot of my stocks today - PVCS, NPE, DNX so running the profits but wary of taking money away along the way...

Just for info, Evo saying sell today, target 500p

Greyhound

Plse post the EVO link.
Thankyou

I don't have a link sorry, it's on my Bloomberg screens.

Sold part of my holding and doubled up in PVCS, staying in the sector. The latter possibly representing better short term value.

Have to consider selling the remainder, some 250% in a couple months "appears" almost too good to be true. But the sector is driving forward. I like the look of Jetion too.

GH
I am in Jetion-plenty of upsides once 1/4 results are published.

can you post a link for pvcs share price plse.
Being lazy!

Check out the chart at the top of the PVCS thread.
