WEAK BUY	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) July 20, 2018 Biggest name in North American market. Got nailed twice. First, during the crash. Then, because China went big into the solar panel market, at subsidized prices. There will be growth in sales, but price of solar panels will drop dramatically. If you’re willing to ride it out for the long term, this can do very well. But you’ll have to be patient. Potential for dramatic technological change in this area. Be a little bit cautious about the technology risk. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Biggest name in North American market. Got nailed twice. First, during the crash.

WAIT	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) April 9, 2013 Solar sector has been in the doldrums. It is very subsidized, in particular by a lot of the European countries, and when they got into financial difficulties, a lot of the subsidies were pulled. This company has a big project coming on and have a strategy to increase their cost base. Probably not a good time to get in as it probably had a short squeeze that made the stock jump so dramatically. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Solar sector has been in the doldrums.

BUY	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) January 27, 2010 90%+ of solar world panel producers use silicon. This company uses cadmium cellulite instead, which has allowed them to be the lowest cost producer. Stock is under pressure because with Chinese coming in, there is concern that silicon costs will become so low that it could hurt them. Good buy at this price. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	90%+ of solar world panel producers use silicon.

BUY	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) November 16, 2009 Still the leader in solar energy and the lowest cost producer. Long-term it will continue to do exceptionally well. Trading at 16X earnings.

COMMENT	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) May 27, 2009 Looks like there could be resistance at around $200. If you believe the market starts to have a decent year, a little above last year, this is worth $180-$200. If things really take off is probably a $300 stock. If you believe in solar, there is still upside in this. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Looks like there could be resistance at around $200.

WAIT	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) May 21, 2009 This is probably the solar company with the best results. Has a relation with the price of oil in that if oil is low who needs solar? Last quarter, this company was still up year-over-year. Obviously they are gaining market share. Solar is one of the businesses that an investor should be in in the future. Since the market has had a huge run, he would not buy anything aggressively today. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	This is probably the solar company with the best results.

BUY	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) March 24, 2009 Set out a mandate to be the lowest cost producer of solar panels. Don't use silicon technology but use thin film technology instead. Essentially take a piece of glass and coat a very thin layer of solar material. Not as efficient, but much cheaper to produce. Cost per watt is the lowest in the industry. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Set out a mandate to be the lowest cost producer of solar panels.

PAST TOP PICK	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) April 18, 2008 (A Top Pick Nov 22/07. Up 34.7%.) Likes this one for the long-term. This is the long-term, going to survive, IBM, Apple of the solar industry. Wouldn't make it an overweight holding, but would put a little bit in your per photo. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	(A Top Pick Nov 22/07. Up 34.7%.) Likes this one for the long-term.

TOP PICK	First Solar Inc.(FSLR-Q) November 22, 2007 One of the most expensive solar stocks. Will be the IBM, Dell or Mac in the solar space. In the most recent quarter they announced they will be able to produce solar cells at a cost of $1.15 a watt. As the polysilicon shortage unwinds itself, they will have an advantage. other mines 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	One of the most expensive solar stocks. Will be the IBM, Dell or Mac in the solar space.
