Hope it will pass and sign into law. If that happens, solar stocks should do well in the next 12 months.

Solar Stocks Take Drubbing on Report Congess Won't Extend Investment Tax Credit

ITC for solar has 9 lives, it just won't die. Now it is combined with the $700 billion rescue plan (or bailout plan). This news came out in the evening of 9-30-08.

Canadian Solar: Opportunity in Multiple Contraction from Dilution

The author buried a very interesting link in his article. Since there are two readers misunderstood the author, far more readers may have missed this interesting link provided by the author.

Canadian Solar: Opportunity in Multiple Contraction from Dilution

Let me answer "User 226214's" question in simple English:

The author likes the stock, and he is buying the stock. When the options buyer exercises the option, the author will have bought the CSIQ - but at a few dollars less than $35 (because the author collected the "Put Option's Premium".

Canadian Solar: Opportunity in Multiple Contraction from Dilution

Here is the answer to "User 226214".
======================...

Disclosure (by author): I wrote $35 puts for July.
That means the author is buying.
----------------------...

"Wrote $35 purts" means he sold $35 put options.

There is a well-known strategy: "When one likes a particular stock, one sells 'put' option of that stock".

Note: Personally, I don't do any options. But I do know a little bit about options.

Solarfun Power: The Next Solar Giant?

Which stock appears to have a solid "uptrend"? And is way above its year-ago price?

Which stock appears to go nowhere? And is only slightly above its year-ago price?

If you want something "cheap" and something appears to be a "bargain", SOLF is the way to go. (90% of market players will take this route.)

If you want to go with something that is "strong" - sorry, it is very "expensive" and you just have to pay up to get it, CSIQ. (Less than 10% market players will take this route.)

Solarfun Power: The Next Solar Giant?

Only jbde mentioned 3 stocks and one of those is CSIQ. While other comments discussed many other solars - but no CSIQ. To me, it means that CSIQ is still under the radar of lots of investors - that's music to my ears, CSIQ will have a lot more to go on the upside.

Despite Dr. Jack Yetiv's lengthy discussion of CSIQ that uncovered this gem, and his numerous comments (on CSIQ) under other solar articles, CSIQ remains under the radar apparently - it is a good thing.

Canadian Solar: The Next Solar Takeover Target?

There are so many readers of "SA", we got to have quite a few people who have observed and played the stock market for a long long time (or decades). These folks can certainly provide us with some history about this kind of thing (secondary offering) which had happened to so many young and high growth companies before - what happened when the "secondary offering" was out of the way (means the stock prices afterwards).

I can not be the only one. I'll leave this to those, who are wiser and have more experience than me, to comment on this.

(Actually, a few of my friends and I have expected this to happen quite a while ago - we just didn't know "when". Each one of us has already got "a plan" and ready to go.)

Canadian Solar: The Next Solar Takeover Target?

The performance chart of CSIQ vs. SPWR & STP.

It is music to the ears to CSIQ long-term investors that SPWR & STP will not buy CSIQ. CSIQ will be able to appreciate far more as an independent company. No CSIQ long-term investors will want this to happen -- turning a Performance King into a Performance Dog.

Canadian Solar: The Next Solar Takeover Target?

I believe all CSIQ long-term investors will be very pleased to read the writings of "wayfarer" and "sirfisup". They have provided "valid" and "sound" reasons for why SPWR and STP will not buy CSIQ. Also, Dr. Jack Yetiv (I respect his opinion highly) doesn't think that that will happen either, and will furnish his thoughts on this matter at a later date.

Thus, CSIQ long-term investors have a lot to celebrate for, due to these insightful opinions. Because if CSIQ is acquired by any one of these companies, the "Performance King" will just turn into a "Performance Dog" overnight.

Canadian Solar: The Next Solar Takeover Target?

I believe, CSIQ on its own can appreciate far more in terms of stock price appreciation in the next 3 to 5 years. As a long term CSIQ investor, I don't like this at all.

Hope it will not happen.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
