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

Shorters must be booking their next holiday on the profit from this one.
Back to 450p ish?

Yep outstanding prediction Hlyeo, you called short at 575p and it shot up to 660p first, timing is everything doncha know :)

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN AND WHAT COMES DOWN MUST GO UP-ITS CALLED MAKING A MARKET.
ONLY WITH THIS STOCK THE REWARDS ARE MASSIVE BOTH WAYS.
I REMAIN LONG AND HAVE DONE SINCE MID 2'S.

I am not questioning your judgement, sivad, but why remain long on what would appear to be a falling sp? This has got to be one of the easier graphs to read with fairly obvious resistance & support levels. Or am I missing something important?

SOLA just gone below 500p...do not go against the downward flow.

Time to go long soon ;)

HARRYCAT-a good question-graphs are a history lesson-they do not predict the future.
SOLA is in a sector which is the future in my humble opinion and that is why I will stay long.
Yes it hurts to see profits eroded,but they are only paper profits until taken.

I am in JHL and PVCS too so my risk is spread.Just very keen on the sector.

Is sola an energy company or tech company or a combination? Does it take its cues from oils or the Nasdaq or some darker speculative force?

I would guess it is an 'Alternative Energy Co', also falling under the 'Green' heading.
Nothing to do with oil, but subject to world price/availability of waste silicon.

hlyeo

On 23 May you said 'SOLA is clearly a sell now at 575p'. Well my friend you actually managed to pick the bottom cause the price went up to 660p. As has already been pointed out, timing is everything unless you are arguing that you will be proved right eventually.

Well, we can all say that. I guess my shares will be in profit eventually but it still doesn't get away from the fact that they were crap picks at the time!

Somebody is bitten by the sound of it.

No I haven't held these shares for about 3 mnths now.

if it were not that SOLA ADRs are quoted in NY, thus potentially skewing things in London, i hope i would have had the courage to short (easy one that, as obviously i have not!), as chart is showing southward journey to continue ...... no encouragement for holders today other than market generally looking a little perkier

opening at 489p now.

Maybe tempted to top up again! Test roughly the same lows in last three days so it looks like it has found some support here around 500p.

Where is the support??? It is slipping away.

As I keep saying this will never do what you expect which makes it extremely dangerous to trade

now you see the huge prob and risk of trading SOLA while its ADRs are tradable in US ...... only way to play (i think) is to buy/sell SOLA when London is open and to close at close, and then do similarly with ADRs.

given the dual listing and variation of "type", also difficult to determine whether or not the chart has even less meaning/reliability than usual.

agreed

Sorry, I don't agree. The chart showed typical weakness and I still say it will go down further although it may not be in a straight line.
