Hey Saleem,

Bought BTU @ 19.62.

It appears to be breaking out of a double bottom base and with improved economies and natural gas prices firm, there's a fundamental backdrop for gains also.

Hi Stocktrader,

This is the year of laggards....

Good luck with BTU......

Hey Saleem,

Added about 20% more BTU @ 19.775--I underallocated originally based on risk. I just wanted to update you for transparency's sake, but probably not a big deal.

Hey Saleem,

If you missed it, Tom was the one who gave credit for the solar trade.

Bought X @ 30.666. I should have stepped back into my steel names long ago after exiting, but it looked like this was as good a time as any. The chart looks good and fundamentals are improving.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your appreciative note....sorry i missed your name & thought stocktrader wrote it....

I do believe that JKS will be a "star performer in 2014"

Thanks for stocktrader for pointing this out.

Hi Saleem,
I added some JKS on Tuesday with the same price $29.28 as you did. JKS is the best performer in Solar 2013. I agree it will be continue doing well and guess if broad market is ok in 2014 the Solar will be a winner.
Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

WOW..same price add-on....

I believe that Solar will outperform even IF indices are weak....proof is in today's TAPE.....

Worldwide there is a "dire need" for solar generated power.......which is very quick to install vs huge delay in any other power generation.

We are both on the same page with JKS.....
