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

been sitting in AMUR (up 130%) ; SOLA (up 22% resistance at 180p) and YELL.
Just sold all 3. It could be said I've had a good morning... for a change!

Interestingly the news about the letter of intent had been in the public domain for a couple of days. I suppose the rise is more due to the broker upgrade.

this will be back to 500p before you know it..not many shares and tightly held

agreed 5 year end which is only a few months away!

3.50 should be next stop!

230 if you're lucky - see below

fuck it...tanking..bloody j boy crooks!

sola stocks hit in the US.

behave yourself maestro or you'll find yourself keeping company with the shoket

I have never ever bought this one...incredibly unpredictable....must have another look at this during the weekend.

it's a bit of a flake, but it's not too bad trading off the chart ..... PTH is much brighter than me on these things - i just use very basic MDAs and similar as indicators

China legislators seen mulling renewables fund

BEIJING, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Chinese lawmakers have proposed draft legislation that would establish state guarantees for the purchase of renewable energy production, Xinhua reported late on Monday.

The draft amendment to China's Renewable Energy Law, would, if approved, guarantee the direct purchase by the central government of an annual minimum of renewable energy for the state electricity grid, according to the Xinhua report issued The report did not provide any timetable or details for the legislation.

China is preparing a renewable energy stimulus package, and plans to raise the proportion of renewable energy to 15 percent of total energy consumption by 2020.

Currently, the buying of energy from renewable sources is left to state grids to negotiate with power producers.

The guarantees should benefit renewable energy companies including Suntech Power (STP.N), Trina Solar (TSL.N) and ReneSola (SOLA.L). Wind firms Sinovel Wind, Goldwind Science and Technology (002202.SZ) and Dongfang Electric (600875.SS) (1072.HK) would also be potential beneficiaries

The announcement comes after the news agency reported that lawmakers were discussing a new fund to develop renewable energy technologies. [ID:nPEK374521]

The fund would be financed in part by surcharges levied on renewable energy prices, and would be used to support scientific and technological research, it said.

China's renewable energy stimulus package is expected to raise its solar power generation target for 2020 at least fivefold, although it will remain a much smaller player in China's power mix than wind and nuclear sources.

Good historical support at the 140p level, which is also the current 200 DMA level.
Am hoping for a nice bounce.

certainly has some logic ..... do you have L2, as that way you can set an entry price very easily and also edit same as you wish?

No. But can set a limit buy on the system with Selftrade. Just a matter of picking a realistic buy price. Not very scientific but all I have to work with atm.

Anybody any idea why the sola stocks (SOLA; PVCS) have not taken part in the rally at all and don't look as though they are going to move?

Demand falling away due to the crunch, people realise solar and other so called alternative energy sources are very expensive unless subsidised by governments (taxpayers).

Thanks. Seems like a good theory. Did you eventually buy?

Waiting ... watching PVCS nearer to home and has a known track record.
