Well, I don't know much about them but we just installed a 10 Kwh/p system on our roof with Benq modules (most probably same cells as SPWR) and SolarEdge with their module-optimizers and an inverter. I like the system a lot as you can get statistics and surveillance on every module and if you...

Well, first of all its not very easy to just buy a car in Germany and then sell it in Switzerland, especially not a brand like Tesla where buyers expect hassle free service etc. Second, Tesla will get more from their CHF sales (not that they are that many) so probably they will adjust the CHF...

for Switzerland (http://www.auto-schweiz.ch/fileadmin/3_Statistiken/Autoverkaeufe_nach_Modellen/ModellePW2014.xls), the November number is 33.

Deutsche upgrades to buy (310 PT) Tesla Motors Analyst Ratings, Earnings, Dividends and Insider Trades | $TSLA | NASDAQ:TSLA | Analyst Ratings Network

Last week I sold some JASO June 11 covered calls (terrible timing). I bought back most of them, but let a few run because I am overweight on JASO anyway and did not mind if some shares would have been called away. As JASO finished on 11.01, 1k shares have now been called away. I really do hope...

One of the seven members (with equal executive powers) of the Federal Council in Switzerland (Doris Leuthard, the Head of the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications) just announced that she wants to get a Model S as an official, representential car, which is...

There is another point. Most of the Model S bought in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland (plus from all the other countries) and Norway will drive on the German Autobahn quite frequently. A dense SC coverage in Germany is a big plus for those markets! Borders here are quite open these days....

well, Elon's stated goal was to win the german market and for that you need a very dense SC distribution (High speed autobahn, germans attraction to cheap/free things). I think it makes sense to start building a dense network in central europe, where also the most potential buyers are waiting...

Some pretty big changes on the supercharger map for Europe for winter 14/15. Thats some commitment to Europe! Central Europe is pretty well covered now :D Supercharger | Tesla Motors

April in Switzerland is 16

Its pretty obvious: http://www.auto-schweiz.ch/fileadmin/3_Statistiken/Autoverkaeufe_nach_Modellen/ModellePW2014.xls Its a pretty bad way of reporting stats, but its very obvious that the current month is the total from Jan up to that month, unless you expect increasing sales month by month for...

Nasdaq has it: Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA) Institutional Ownership & Holdings - NASDAQ.com

take care, these are the cumulative numbers. its 16 in April...

well, i have no clue about the company and what relationship to Google they have, but maybe it's the announcent Google Fibre expansion? Google spreading Fiber fingers to more cities

Problem with lithium is that there is no direct spotmarket for it. Buyers have to negotiate directly with the producers, hence i would not consider lithium(carbonate) as a traditional commodity. Thats why i have a small position in LIT ETF, which covers multiple players in the lithium industry

As far as I know, most lithium reserves are actually in North-/Southamerica, so shipping costs could be cheaper in total! But as you said, shipping will not be a huge cost factor anyway

Not really, still well below the threshold for the highest commission bracket (which is 10'000 monthly) ;). Rates are here: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=commission&p=options1#america - - - Updated - - - well, they charge you 1$ minimum per trade, but not per contract!

I am using Interactive Brokers, commission between 0.25 and 0.7 per contract.

well, luckily these kind of restrictions don't affect me. Didn't know about this Wash rule, learned something new. Lucky to live in a place where you don't have to worry about tax on capital gains... I would try calling my broker in this case, there might be a solution.

if you have a second account somewhere, you could buy them just by yourself with the second account. Thats what i tried once with my IB accounts. Edit: Depends ofc of the usual ask and bid's. If the incremental is 5 cent and there are no ask's on 5 cent, then it can work. Otherwise you risk...

Hope it will be a good solar day: Canadian Solar Announces 100MW Module Supply Agreement with Zhenfa New Energy in China Especially: "Clearly, Chinese demand for solar modules going into the first quarter of 2014 remains strong, and based on our planning sessions with major developers and...

ups, totally missed that one. One can learn a lot from your balance-sheet reading skills ;) . This huge increase is quite worrisome (although there might be a easy explanation. Somebody should have asked that question at the CC.) What's your take on the shifting of waver production for internal...

hm i bought some 3.5 April 14 at 1$, one dollar less to end ITM

Besides that big write off, what exactly is so horrible? - Cash Flow of 79.6 Million (ok, minus these 34.7 million from the long term contract)? This is a less than 400 million company!

over here its even simpler: you only pay taxes on dividends :D

looks like the opposite today. volume spikes up, and up the prices goes.

and CSIQ in the green :) wouldn't surprise me

JKS already 1 % up, is showing a lot of strength recently. And TSL is just a sorry story, lucky that I sold them a few weeks back.

I have the feeling this bloodbath is now over, added some JKS, CSIQ and SOL. Wish I would have more cash around, long-term some of these prices are just ridiculous. The Cramer-show showed again that the market is still very much afraid of what happened 5 years ago, they don't get that the...

this. I think it is an combination of different factors, as sleepy is saying all the time: Don't try to understand the short-term market reaction's on solar. I didn't want to imply that falling oil prices will cause lower solar demand (might have a very small correlation) but just that the...

there is a reason in my opinion. The cheap iranian oil which will pull down oil prices in 2014 seems to be the reason + I guess we are currently in a solar correction phase. Nothing exceptional after + 10x gains this year so far.

Well, I have a few concerns with your analysis/creating of the dataset. First of all, the mexican car fire shouldn't count to the 3 fires. But if you count it in, you have to expand the dataset of ice-cars to Mexico as well. Most probably expanding that dataset to the Mexico wouldn't actually do...

with all due respect, but please run those numbers in a serious tool. Iv seen too many wierd and wrong outcomes with excel, especially p-values/conf intervalls: edit: something to read why excel shouldnt be used formstatistical analyses: http://www.csdassn.org/software_reports/Excel2011.pdf

there is a (for once...) excellent bearish SA article about ONVO. Don't know how much of the article is based on truth, but its a worth a read. Got out around 9$ during the raise and felt pretty stupid, guess that turned around now. If you believe the words from the author, the stock shouldn't...

:D Good luck, hope it will give you the ability to retire with 36 years ;)

Nice beat from TSL. EPS 0.14, Revenue 548.4M

Im getting more and more concerned that a general sell-off in the market will occur soon. One can kind off smell the nervosity right now. No one wants to miss on the gains going up, yet they are afraid of getting caught by a downswing which will have to occur sooner or later. I am not sure how...

looks like this rally is caused mainly by chinese investors getting in, as bit coin gets a lot of positive coverage in the medias there.

that was an text-book like wedge that was forming up this morning, then it broke out

Revenue 490.9M $; Q3 EPS 0.56 The backlog utility-scale backlog looks impressive! future looks very bright. thanks sleepy for the amazing tip on CSIQ!

Today? This report is 4 days old...

not for company's with sky-high p/e ratio's.

guess one should start buying Starbucks-shares then ;)

Elon mentioned 1/4 at his recent EU tour...

i had a very similar idea. albeit very unrealistic and most probably in dreamland, but what if the EU-production is not included in this 570 number? what if they altered the production for EU cars and only produce parts now and the assembly gets done in NL? this could explain Elon's latest...

I dont see the problem for TSLA. They can't penetrate every market at the same time. And it was obvious to serve the market with probably highest demand (and margins), Norway. I'm reading nowhere that demand in Germany is low, quite the opposite. Jerome Guillen is quoted saying that they have to...

It's the Fidelity's (FMR LLC) stake announcement a few posts above...

I was asking myself the same question. Didnt found anything fully exposed to lithium mining, but found this nice ETF from GlobalX called LIT. Its basically invested in all major lithium related companies. Doing great so far, steady climb since I got in at 11.42 (now between 13.20 and 13.50). Not...
