Hyleo, the reason I give the alternative scenario is to give both sides of the story, I have no wish to encourage others to catch falling knives. If you engage your other brain cell you can work out what I think. Have a nice day :)
good morning Toya and Ricardo, hope you are both well

All in all, rubbish. Had a lesson on Monday with the pro. He made a few adjustments and after 10 good strikes with a 6 iron said 'i'm officially bored now, lets do something else'! Naturally when out on the course the next day couldn't hit the ball to save my life, very frustrating :(
Well done on the cut, must have been a really good round!

Chinese SOL AR Stocks Struggling
Interesting read. Note SOL up about 6% in the US this afternoon (at the time of posting).
Incidentally 35% is more or less a Fib number. Make of it what you will.

Dated 10 July 2009
Oppenheimer & Co. upgrades ReneSola (NYSE:SOL) from Perform to Outperform, and issues a price target of $7.
Oppenheimer analysts expect pressure on the pricing of SOL's products will ease in the near term. This will lead to higher profit margin in 2009. The analysts also believe ReneSola's strategy of vertical integration will potentially pay off and became a catalyst for the company's business.
The analysts note investors' expectattions are very low for SOL's strategy to produce polysilicon internally. They believe this means the downside risk is limited. They upgrade SOL primarily based on their increased revenue and EPS estimates for 2010.

SOLA bouncing from trendline support quite nicely over the last few trading days.
See previous post and today's announcement for the rationale.
PS. It's all in the charts donchaknow :)
Dated 14 July 2009
ReneSola Ltd ("ReneSola" or the "Company") (NYSE: SOL - News; AIM: SOLA), a leading global manufacturer of solar wafers, today announced that it has successfully commenced trial production on the first batch of polysilicon from Phase 1 of its two-phase, 3,000 metric tonne ("MT") annualized capacity polysilicon manufacturing facility located in China's Sichuan province.
"The launch of our in-house polysilicon manufacturing facility represents another exciting strategic milestone for ReneSola," commented Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer. "As an integral part of our vertical integration strategy, this state-of-the-art facility is designed to enhance our competitiveness as we benefit from cost synergies associated with upstream integration. The production output from this new facility will provide us with a stable, cost-effective flow of polysilicon as we strengthen our position as one of the world's leading, low-cost, fully integrated solar companies."
ReneSola's two-phase, 3,000 MT annualized capacity polysilicon manufacturing facility utilizes the Siemens process and a closed loop system to produce polysilicon. Phase 2 of the facility, representing approximately 1,500 MT annualized capacity, is scheduled to reach mechanical completion in September 2009.

Talking of charts, here's the latest with supporting comments:
1. As suggested, SOLA found support from the trendline and the trend since the low in March remains intact.
2. The MACD positive divergence remains and will do so for some time. The histogram is possibly returning to positive territory. The MAs may cross soon and also complete a zero line crossover (a bullish move).
3. The 13EMA is touching the 50EMA and ideally needs to move up.
4. Assuming the SP remains in an uptrend, the near future will see a Golden Cross and by default the EMAs will be in the correct order, again, good news.
5. Downside is a sharp SP fall and a broken uptrend. My stop is at entry so no worries.
DYOR etc etc

A quiet day for UK SOLA was not replicated by US SOL which experienced a 8.6% rise during the day and a further 2.4% rise after hours to finish just shy of $6 (equivalent to 184p or thereabouts). Expecting a 10% rise tomorrow, although not taking that for granted. The US rise today was supported by considerable volume, 4.4m versus the three monthly average of 2.5m (always a positive sign). My first target has always been for the SP to make a higher high (cross hair on chart) and that target coincides with the closing price on the US tonight (cross hair on chart) and the 200EMA. All the indicators remain positive, particualry the MACD MAs which are about to cross up and also achieve a centreline (zero) crossover (assuming the uptrend continues).
Slightly surprised the usual suspects have not entered the fray (yet).

I was curious as to what caused the US spike, just noticed this:

"We are delighted to announce the addition of these new projects to our

year period.

This is why YOU must always do your own research and ignore ill informed comments with little or no supporting argument (actually, there is a good case to ignore everything Hyleo posts!)
hlyeo98 - 22 Jun 2009 20:05 - 2868 of 2919
There is hardly any support at 160p,
I think it will go to 120-130p range most likely.
(140p was the low)
hlyeo98 - 24 Jun 2009 17:20 - 2875 of 2919
Nothing goes down or up in a straight line. I agree with Harry, SOLA will move down tomorrow.
SP went up!
hlyeo98 - 03 Jul 2009 08:04 - 2881 of 2920
SOLA will move downwards within the next 4 weeks.
Two weeks gone and up over 25%. Was it going to go up first and then down or down first and then up?
hlyeo98 - 07 Jul 2009 11:51 - 2886 of 2920
Shorted from 205p so I'm not that jittery, now 157p, Harry.
Can't recall you posting that you closed, getting jittery now?
hlyeo98 - 08 Jul 2009 16:24 - 2892 of 2920
Harry, didn't I tell you so? And the other thing is your 140p support will be broken with ease. Brace yourself. ;o)
Errr, I think not
hlyeo98 - 08 Jul 2009 17:22 - 2894 of 2920
I think about 100-120p.
I think you should be very careful about your 'thinking'

This morning's rise not unexpected following the announcements and the US SOL rise yesterday, SP now trying to push through my first resistance level.

A slight softening of the SP since the first hour of this morning. My impression for the last 14 days has been that UK SOL has taken the lead and US SOL follows accordingly. However, the release of news post UK trading yesterday has reversed that process and I expect UK to react when US opens. Can't say I'm a great fan of this morning's gap, but gaps are not always filled despite what some say. If this level of resistance is breached (can't see any reason from the chart why it shouldn't) next target is 240p.
