H Ds,

Production output was also raised..I highlighted Sales guidance which can only go up if Production output is also UP....

They are playing with SOL in pre-market???

BEAT is BEAT.....

Hi Saleem,

Does not make much sense does it. Could this be sell orders backed up waiting for the pop? If everyone was expecting a large jump like LDK and placed market sells,,,then this could push down the price on PM.

Best Regards

Hi Standards,

Lot of daytraders bailed because it was not a beat & raise to the level of LDK.....

They are mostly gone now.....we should see a steady improvement by close imho....

SOL is doing everything right in a smaller scale compared to LDK...trendline is the same....

It is a great HOLD until market can see that LDK & SOL are in the right spot doing the right thing !!!
