I'd do LEAPs or common stock as sleepy always recommends. You are basically gambling when you APR 14 options. Don't play solar earnings unless you know absolutely what you are getting into.

You're absolutely right and I do already have CSIQ stock as a core position. However I do want to take a little gamble with options and I know the solar industri is very volatile. But a gamble can have good or worse odds and that's what I am trying to gauge.

Sadly it seems SPWR goes down as market moves higher. I hope it at least holds $30 today.

**Raises hand** Only bought 200 more shares of SPWR friday, but already had 500 shares and some options for it.
going to have to read into this more. Might be time for me to take some profits off the table.
I just received an email w/YouTube video from SolarCity regarding an apparent net metering fight about to get started in Colorado. I haven't yet read up on the background, but it seems like this could have an impact on SolarCity's efforts here.
Dear Solar Ally,I don't make the decision to contact you lightly, but I want to fill you in on Xcel's plans for Colorado's solar industry.
Rooftop solar is a classic Colorado success story–it's creating jobs across the state and empowering Coloradans like you to save money while reducing fossil fuel consumption. But Xcel wants to stop solar's progress in its tracks. The utility's strategy is to attack net metering policy, which gives solar customers fair credit for the surplus electricity their solar panels return to the grid for neighbors to consume.
To help explain what's happening, we created this video:
Please share this video on facebook, twitter, or email-- we want everyone engaged in the fight to protect the state's solar industry.
Xcel is about to mount a PR campaign against solar, and they're going to talk a lot about 'fairness'. But it's not surprising that a monopoly's idea of fairness is very different from what's fair to the people of Colorado.
Let's get the conversation started on our terms. Please watch and share this video, and let us know what you think about it. We'll be in touch with updates as they occur.
Thank you,
Lyndon Rive
CEO, SolarCity

I second that. I'm shifting to a balanced portfolio, 50% tsla and 50% solar.Hehe, I bet you contributed to some percent here, both directly and indirectly
. I still have more tsla but I have a feeling solar is going to be the winner even with a lighter position over the next month. I gotprice rises from my suppliers on csiq and tsl again this quarter

I agree. While more volatile, I believe there is greater upside to solar than, dare I say, TSLA, in the next 1-2 years.

Here is a link to an article with a potential new player to the china solar market. They are looking to take over suntech's assets.

Good day for solar across the board. SCTY lagging behind for some reason. I guess it's to be expected after a >20% run up though.
