Saleem,
Beatrice is having problems again, trying to access your blog. She wanted me to ask you if you are familiar with MELI? And if so, can you provide your opinion on it? Have a good night and I will talk with you tomorrow.

LDK plant construction update:

Progress Update for March:

March 2008

- Completed the 5,699 cubic meters of structural concrete pouring for the Product Handling Building Mat Foundation.
- Completed concrete column pouring Elev. 89.
- Will complete concrete column pouring Elev. 89.
- Started excavation for foundation works - Control Building.
- Will start foundation works for Compressor Building No. 1
- Will start foundation works for Main Cooling Tower.

This is going to be huge, once the news of plant being on time breaks out... this will fly... crossing fingers and hoping for the best... no plans to sell till 2009-2010... lets see what happens...!!

Hi Troy,

Thanks for the update on LDK construction activity.

I firmly believe that LDK 2nd half of 2008 will be very strong...

There is some margin issue in 1st half due to persisting high poly cost..imho

Saleem,
Are you following Solars at all this morning? Just wondering if you had an opinion on the direction of solar stocks given the SOLF ER? Thanks for any insight.

Doug said...

Hi Saleem,
I just sold my LDK in pre market for $28.23. As I mentioned, I cant be at my computer this morning, so I just let it go, for a nice profit though. So, I dont need guidance right now as I am out of solars. Thanks though anyway. Best wishes today.

Hi Doug,

Most solars are green including SOLF & LDK.....

LDK is showing higher highs...so you are looking very good....

LDK is bid UP in pre-market.

Good luck on QLD.
