First Solar (FSLR) Stock Analysis 2013

First Solar (FSLR) Stock Analysis 5/7/13 May 7, 2013 -

 Follow @stockstobuy 

First Solar (FSLR) will report earnings and guidance tonight and I expect the stock to be very volatile.  First Solar (FSLR) stock will have resistance on the upside at $50.20 and support on the downside at $41.  This is a wide range but options action ahead of earnings suggests a huge move tonight and tomorrow.

I'm not a big fan of FSLR over the long term but this is a trading stock.  Watch your support and resistance levels and the react to the long or short side.

My First Solar FSLR Stock Buy / Trade - Trading FSLR

June 13, 2009 - Thinking about trading First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) stock or investing for the long term? I have been thinking about it myself now that the stock as come down from a double topped high of around $205-$207 in May 2009.

From a technical point of view, you can see that First Solar recently broke support of around $160. This prompted another quick move down to $150. I originally thought $150 would hold but as the Dow Jones and overall stock market started falling, oil prices did so as well. When you have both of these things falling at once, traders tend to go after the solar stocks for a bear raid.

I'm thinking $140 could be the area where I will buy FSLR stock. But here is the trick, a trick that has been working for a long time with many stocks such as First Solar. I want to buy FSLR either for the long term or just a trade when the stock CLOSES over the 10 day moving average (blue line ). FSLR has not closed over this level in a month and the longer a stock such as First Solar stays below the 10 day, the bigger the move higher when it actually does.

My First Solar Trading Plan:

Buy half of the position on the first close over the 10 day moving average, if it fails to hold several days after, buy the other half on the next close over the 10 day moving average.

This is what I plan to do!!

Dow Jones Open 11/12/08 - Stock Market

Today, 11/12/08, The Stock Market and Dow Jones are opening lower but are boucning off their lows. The Dow Jones opened up around 8500, down 190, but has since bounced around 50 points to only down 140. It seems as though the bargain hunters are stepping in here. We've gone down 1000 points in the Dow Jones in the past week. Maybe its time we get a reversal?
The Nasdaq is down 20 and the SP 500 is down 14 to a fresh low of 885.

Interesting stocks to watch, First Solar ( FSLR ) has come back to $120...if you can break through the highs of the day, this stock could really run. It seems someone is liquidating because the market is bouncing without First Solar.

Stock Market 10/30/08 - Dow Jones Futures - Pre Market Trading

10/30/08 Pre Market Trading Report:

Today, October 30th, 2008, the Stock Market and Dow Futures are set to open up a lot higher following Asian Markets last night. The Dow Futures are called higher this morning by 197 points, the Nasdaq Futures are set to spike 34 points, and the S&P 500 Futures are set to rise by 27 points. Oil is set to open higher at $68.25 and Gold prices are set to rise to $772 an ounce. We are getting follow through from yesterdays Fed Rate Cut and we have opened new credit lines with central banks. As Guy Adami noted yesterday on Fast Money, we are in a trading range from 7800 to 9500. In his opinion, you should be selling up here. Dennis Gartman is now bullish on Gold...so watch Gold Stocks today.


Asian Markets - European Markets 10/30/08

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index led the rise in Asia, jumping up 12.8 percent to 14,329.85, and South Korea's key stock index flew by 12 percent to 1,084.72.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average gained 10 percent percent to 9,029.76 as exporters like Toyota and Sony got a boost from the yen continuing to fall from a 13-year high against the dollar last week. Asian Markets have seen huge gains for the past three trading session.

Stocks to Watch today:

I will be trading Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) today, I took a small position to hold over night and I will probably be selling into strength in pre market just to take profits and see what kind of highs and lows we get in the first 30 minutes of trading. This will tell a lot about the rest of the day. When I wrote this article yesterday, I had no idea LVS was going to spike over the 10 day moving average all in one day, I was actually expecting it to happen today. So we may in fact get a retest above $9.38.

I'm also going to be watching Potash ( POT ) today. Still waiting for that close over $82....maybe we will get it today. First Solar ( FSLR ) came out with great earnings and guidance last night. FSLR is set to be a big mover today.

I will have another update after 10am today, so check my homepage!

Pre Market Trading - Stock Market 10/8/08

This morning 10/8/08 in the stock market, Europe and the United States pursued a global rate cut for the first time since November 2001. Stock Markets have been skyrocketing around the globe off this news. Dow Jones is up 200 points on this news, Nasdaq up 23, S&P 500 up 29 points.

Japans Nikkei went down 9.4% last night, the worst we've seen in that market since the crash in 1987. There was steep losses all across the globe before this rate cut.

Stock to Watch today: RBS, GOLD, LYG, GGP, HOV, LDK, SOV as these stocks are todays biggest gainers so far.

Day Trading 10/8/08 - What will I be trading today in the stock market? Apple ( AAPL ), Potash ( POT ), First Solar ( FSLR )....buy these stocks when they break through their high of the day and sell them when you get profits. Short them when they break the lows of the day.

Pre Market Trading - Stock Market 10/07/08

This morning Dow Jones, S&P, and NASDAQ are all rising in pre market due to a surprise interest rate cut in Australia which was the steepest rate cut in 16 years. The US and European markets hope that they are next. India also cut interest rates today.

All eyes and ears will be on Ben Bernanke as he will speak today and the Fed Minutes will come out. The credit markets have tightened somewhat but our system is still clogged. On the bright side, the bailout plan is moving at a much needed fast pace. We will have some major action in regard to the bailout plan next week.

Stock to Watch 10/7/08 - First Solar ( FSLR )
First Solar has been downgraded to sell by Goldman Sachs.....not sure why they waited this long to downgrade, but history says you can never trust these analysts. FSLR has fallen from $300 to $140....nice job guys! Shouldn't you have been downgrading at $300?

Other stock movers in pre market - AMD, NCC both up big time in pre market!

Today I will be day trading AAPL and POT as I did yesterday. This is where to major volume and price action is.

First Solar ( FSLR ) Downgraded Goldman Sachs 10/07/08

First Solar Cut To Sell From Buy By Goldman Sachs - Dow Jones Newswire

Pre Market Trading - Stock Market 10/6/08

Another ugly day is in store for the US Stock Markets. Wall St does not like the material in the bailout plan as well as further credit tightening in Europe. The Russian stock market has halted trading for the second time today as that market has been plunging.

Dow Sub 10,000? At this point, it would almost seem as though we will test below 10,000 on the Dow Jones just to see whats there. Will buyers step up to the plate? Yes, we are in a vicious bear market, but we are deeply oversold and stocks don't go straight down without bouncing.

Stocks to Watch - Apple ( AAPL ) - Yes there will be slower sales in the coming year, but Apple is sitting on 21 billion in cash while their market cap is only 84 billion. First Solar( FSLR )..great earnings...many people think Solar stocks are tied to Oil prices....they are wrong. Solar stocks are tied to electricity prices. Biggest mistake investors make, selling a solar stock because oil is going down.

Stocks to Watch: 9/30 - AAPL, RIMM, FSLR

Today we are getting a bounce higher from yesterdays record plunge. Thursday looks like the earliest that they could start working on a new deal for the bailout plan. I honestly don't see this bill passing now because if you tweak the package, some of the No voters will turn to yes, but maybe some of the Yes voters will now turn to No.

Jim Cramer's new target for the Dow is 8200 if this deal doesn't get passed.

So what if we do get a deal? Well, I think you could see a 700 point up day if not more. Cramer said he's ready to tell people to buy when and if this thing passes.

Putting the above aside, stocks I will be watching and trading today are FSLR, AAPL, and RIMM. These three stocks are super volatile so and quick plunge should be bought, just remember to take profits quick. On Apple, $112 failed many times yesterday so if we break up through this level in the next couple days...you could see a nice move higher from that level.

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.

First Solar ( FSLR ) Upgraded 9/12 to Buy - Societe Generale

This morning 9/12/08, First Solar ( FSLR ) has been started with a buy from Societe Generale company. First Solar stock has been crushed over the past two weeks due to fears of prices falling in 2009. They seem to be over done however, and I have been trading this stock daily. Buying below $200 and selling above or at $210 has worked great. When FSLR breaks $219 it will be back in play. I could see it going to $235-$240 quickly.

CNBC's Jim Cramer blessed FSLR stock on lightening round last night 9/11 on Cramer's Mad Money.
