Had a good run again here cyners on the downside and closed out monday.
Just watching again for the moment.
Dont trust the management or I would follow it both up and down.
Theres a lot of news lately over in the US on the falling margins on wafers due to a surge in industry supply and at some point if demand doesnt catch up we are I reckon going to be getting analyst downgrades and profit warnings.

Just to sum it up, its got to be good news $20.5 for each shares which is about 513p/share. Up and away imo.

actually, the only interesting bit was "A total of 9,000,000 ADSs, each representing two shares of the Company, are being sold in the Offering at a price of US$20.50 per ADS", so the balance could have been omitted without loss.
just because these are being offerd at 513 ($20.50) has no real bearing on the share performance .... in fact, it is likley that the the price has been manipulated (legally of course!) to ensure that these new shares go at a slight discount.
looks like a (probable) good opportunity to short some time during the next week, even if only for a quick turn.

15% to 17% dilution says this is not such a good deal.
heres my original post on sol ipo on nyse.....
Total of $119 million underwritten, and not $130 million, see post above.
and as for trading at a huge discount, throw in the dilution of
bonds 10%
employee scheme 7%
and now this defunked IPO 17% and the total prospective dilution is
a grand total of 34%.
Dont have to tell you how this will now affect the P/E ratio going forward.
Watching initial reaction on the Dow.ENDS
now we add in a further 17% for this share issue and we have a potential grand total 51% potential dilution.
yes 51%.
EPS diluted, P/E forecast far higher than the one used by analysts promoting this stock and my calcs show its trading at a premium to peers within the industry.
Add in the over supply situation of wafers within the industry and the fact that sola STILL does not generate positive operational cash and the story here does not look so good as first thought.
Watching with interest.

Seems a good deal and after disgestion and the expected fall due to dilution worries slao will be flying north again.
the Yanks just love this stock if you read the US bb's.
They love to trade on ups and downs and with Sola you have as they say got the real deal.

if Dow tumbles further, which is very much on the cards, then SOLA will be whacked ...... regardless, i would expect to see SOLA ADRs (aka SOL in NY) trading at $19.00 or less within a couple of weeks, and goodness knows how low ($15.00?) if Dow really turns sick

If the Dow tumbles on oil price fears cynic than this will benefit Sola-stay long.

no thanks! ..... took my profits yesterday and am happy to stay neutral with a possible view to short ...... Dow is likley to tumble, but not necessarily because of continued rise in oil (Nymex) ..... imo, Nymex level is now very bubble-like, but i thought that $5.00 or so lower!

looks strongly as though the managed support has been withdrawn now that the second offering has been successfully launched.
to short or not to short? ...... probably shall, even though away on hol
did so at 514.5
