    FSLR has dropped 32% since reaching its high in May, 2009 and for the past four months it has traded in a narrow range of 120.00 - 140.00. Investors have obviously lost their enthusiasm for this company. In my opinion these and other "Green" companies will fade until they can turn a profit without government subsidies. While politically correct and a popular topic in the media, Green Energy will not pull this country out of recession.

    Stock has plummeted even though FSLR announced that it will build a 500 MG power plant for about 170,00 California homes. Producing electricity at 100 X the cost of more conventional enery (fossil and nuclear) solar power will not pull us out of this recession.

    rapid rise to the top sharp sell off now the company has to execute. With the help of government this stock should have all the right chances to succeed in th enext 4 years

    Cadmium used in their product is a total timebomb. China is massively surplused with solar stuff. I'd avoid this stock.

    Technology is already out-date and will be eclipsed by competition.
