Solar: Sometimes It's Good to be Brave

Here's today's Tickerspy Chinese solar index:


Today: +12.7%

Today vs S&P 500 : +11.8%

The action was led by CSIQ, up 24.5% while our favs, TSL and YGE were up a more muted 10.78% and 13.35% respectively.

Two examples, are Trina and Yingli. Since our March 31 post "A Bifurcated Market in Solar Stocks (ENER; FSLR; LDK; SPWRA; TSL; YGE)" Trina is up 137.7% (and is up 315% from it's March 2, YTD, bottom) while YGE is up 112.6% and 279.8%....
...The stocks were also up in late after hours trading Friday but I am feeling skittish and could probably get spooked by someone saying "Boo". Keep those mental stops tight.

...Despite my nervousness about some solar names I haven't come out negative on the group yet....
