My Recent Love Affair With FSLR

I’ve been accumulating shares of FSLR recently, much to the chagrin of many of my readers. I want to quickly clarify, now that the trade is working, why I have been doing this.

I liken the position of this stock to be strikingly similar to BIDU when I first started blogging with iBC.

http://ibankcoin.com/option_addict/2013/05/15/quick-chart-analysis-on-bidu/

My call to you, the reader, was that BIDU (back in June) was my top pick for the second half of the year. Now that it has moved 55% since that post, I want you to turn to take a look at FSLR, and the technical structure of this stock. I went after BIDU because I was absolutely positive that the stock was in its “aversion” cycle relative to sentiment. I believe FSLR is in the same cycle.

See if you can identify the similarities in these charts. I used a weekly chart on FSLR to smooth it out a little.

    FYI, I like the new format for the videos. It’s working great for me on the iPad.

      Nothing special. Not that I think this would make a difference but I have the third gen iPad. OA’s live broadcast on the site works as well as the recorded broadcast. I haven’t had to do anything special. It just works.

    Looks like using your volume profile analysis if it can clear ~ 59 it’s on it’s way to ~ 101! Am I reading that right? I’m looking at the volume profile on a weekly chart.

    Solar City just did a moonshot. My boss tried to buy options yesterday saying they were better than FSLR. Oh well.
