FSLR Stock has Bottomed - First Solar Analysis 9/17/08

Yes, First Solar ( FSLR ) has bottomed at $186 yesterday. I have been trading this stock for the past two weeks and this morning it is stronger then any morning since I started trading it again.

They ran FSLR down from $280 to $196 in a week....every time the futures were down in the morning, they would gap First Solar lower every single time by 5-10%. I played the same trend every day last week. They would open FSLR down 5%...crush it even more at the open, and then cover their shorts the rest of the day. It was common to get $10 moves up in this stock after about 11am.

This morning the futures are down pretty nicely...and FSLR is up $2. Haven't seen this strength for several weeks. The trend has changed! Yesterdays capitulation gap down to $186 ended up with a rally to close at $215....huge move! Short finally covered. That signifies a bear bottom in the stock. A close over $220 and FSLR is off to the races even higher.
