Piper Jaffray adds JA Solar (Nasdaq: JASO) to its Alpha List with a Buy rating and a $33.50 price target.

The firm believes JA has "the best contracted poly supply over the next two years." Furthermore, Piper notes that higher spot prices will not affect JA's business and the Company's pricing trends should remain positive.

Piper mentions a "leaked royal decree" in Spain that slipped out earlier today. According to the rumors, Spain is now expected to reach the 1 gigawatt level during 2008, which is an increase from previous expectations of 500-700 megawatts. This translates into a new cap of 2.26GW, versus the prior proposal of 1.2GW. Piper points out that the last royal decree was leaked in the exact same fashion.

Additionally, new data suggests that Italy, Korea, Greece, and the Czech Republic are all growing faster than expected.

JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., through its subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, and sells solar cells primarily in the People's Republic of China.

Hi Madmax,

Cramer changes his mind right after he says anything.....

Hi buy & sell on any stock changes everytime he talks on CNBC.....

He generally have buy & Sell on the same stock 4 times in a single day......

Cramer is a very CONFUSED man...who NEVER checks what he said 5 minutes ago ????

Saleem,
I took your advice and I just sold JASO. That was a really nice trade! Thanks for the advice to take profits.
I don't care how much farther it goes up from here. JASO treated me very kindly.

Doug said...

Saleem,
Just for fun I thought I would give a quick update. Just bought NUE. So I am CAT, NUE, KSU and SOHU. Looks like the market is trying to come around!

Troy House said...

Guys, Solar is the in sector now, get in while it is still hot... sector rotation...

JASO is up with no news and its up even more then LDK... !! Glad I kept JASO that was bot 17.xx

Hi Doug,

Taking profit should NEVER be an issue with anyone......

Markets have taught some of us ...NOT to fight for the last $...

There IS such a thing as OVERBOUGHT...never lose sight of it....

How can you tell if any stock is overbought ...check the recent 90 days range of RSI....

Saleem

Doug said...

Thanks for the RSI thoughts Saleem. I sold KSU as CSX got down graded and I just got tired of it laying around. Of course now that I sold it will rocket to the moon. LOL. Anyway, SOHU just keeps moving on up and I like the way CAT is acting today as it was going up when the dow was going down. I put a small position in ASIA because IH keeps saying its ready to break out..., so I just bought a few shares to see. Good luck the rest of the day.

Hi Doug,

Always play your own hunch.

Nothing wrong in selling something which is not working.....

Always try to OPTIMIZE your returns....If something does NOT work in 3 days...it is TIME to move ON !!!!
