First Solar, again.

As I told you guys back pre-November.. this was a stock to watch.

Its currently the leading IPO of the past year at 240% increase in 3/4th a year.

Jim Cramer of Mad Money pointed this stock out on the 12th, the Feds are working to help out solar power companies.

Anyhow, I sold today pulling in a nice 37% profit on my money in 3 months. It will continue to go up though.. but when a stock I'm invested in starts making headlines and people are told to not short it, its my time to bail out on and take my profits.

I'd guess it will steady off around $84/share in the next 1-2 months. The catch to investing and making money is to know when to get out, not wait until it reaches the peak. Should it drop back down in the the low 60s, I'd buy again.

Anyhow, just wanted to point out previously that this stock was the leading solar power company in the market and money was to be made. I made mine.

If I had bought $1,000 of First Solar when I thought about it, I would have $3,600 8 months later.

That buys more beer.

It'll get taxed regardless. If I made $1000 over night or over the course of a year, its additional income and will get taxed at an income rate of 28%.

I'm checking into a couple other stocks at the moment that look promising as well. First Solar already closed $2 higher than what I sold for.

Every year they'll send me a statement to show how much I made. Had I left it in there and not pulled out, I wouldn't be taxed on it.. until I sold the stock.

The stock was predicted to sit at a certain level, which it exceeded. I made my profits and got out. I know the company is doing extremely well and honestly, I should have pulled out 50% of the money and left the rest in there to see where it goes.

Though, I found a couple other stocks that are cheaper and on the rise where my money would make a bigger splash when it goes up.

The best part about Toledo is that we have a lot of companies around here that are picking up big time or have their hand in things around the country and world. Thus, when I see them doing certain things, I know how that can effect other companies around.

For example, a company called Dana which stock is slow had a big boost producing Chrysler powertrains. Stock jumped but with the news of Chrysler, it died down again.

Owens Corning.. a friend of mine bought it at $0.27/share when they went bankrupt with the esbesto a few years ago. They've since turned around and at last I heard was selling for roughly $35/share. He's made hundreds of thousands but he's keeping it in there for a while.

I don't have a tens of thousands in the stock to play with so the amount I'm making is better of moving it around and playing the short stocks instead of the long. My 401k last year returned 78% based on what I picked in the market. The stock market average was 17% I believe and others who had picked similar stocks as I returned ~30% or higher.

I'm looking for the easy money, don't mind paying the taxes on it as I can use that to my benefit with my income tax return.

I hate taxes.

Unfortunately, I hate bad roads, improper education, and poor law enforcement more... wait a minute...

Discuss.

Why should I reserve extra hatred for places in the 'States I haven't been to? [/i.e. about 99.9% I'd guess]

I've only been to Seattle, thus far.

Sometimes, you go too far.

+1 Hindsight

That's what the local magistrates always say to me

...*cops a sly feel*...

mmmmm.....decayed......

...*barks and claps hands in appreciation*...

But sooner or later I'd like to offer you my tongue in return...

...*flicks tongue suggestively*...

....mmmmm....pain.....

What's wrong with a good ear licking? My wife enjoys it, as would many other gals out there B.


Not that you need any reason, but go around the bar next time and ask all the Sheila's if they enjoy it, then offer a demo to them either way.

"You like it? Cool. Mind if I have a lick?"
"You don't like it? Crikey, it's the greatest thing since the ribbed condom! Let me show you!"

Ribbed condoms are overpriced, I use standard and throw in a handful of dried peas.

Real men ride bare-backed, Gov. 8)

Except, with those Portugese tarts that you have a taste for, I'm somewhat gladdened to note that you put a skin on. [/graceless]

The peas have the added advantage of getting rid of them if it turns out to be a crap shag. One mention of genital warts wearing one of those fcukers and you'll never see a bird leave so fast.

ROTFTHFMMLMFAOA!

Rolling On The Floor, Tom Has Focking Made Me Laugh My Focking Arse Off Again!

Jesus Gov. Perfect!

Shite me. That shite's for real. lol

You'll have to forgive me, mate. Tuesday night, midnight, and I've been drinking, of all thingsm, contreau and butterscotch snaps.

Jesus focking christ. Work tomorrow and all the rest and I'm up bored drinking odd ball liquor.

He's already been there, and he's on the way back up.

Rock on, Bomber. Power to your pecker.

Appallingly, or not, I'm trawling through porn because not too many of you fockers are on tonight. [/displeased]

Friday night around here is date night. haha

Though its summer and all the tail comes back into town from going to college/univ in different cities.

They're here now.. but that's only for a month or two and they're all about the money from what I've seen in the last weeks I've gone out.

I told you about the chick that I wouldn't let my buddy do because she was just looking for another kid and child support, right? heh

I fell into bed at 2am last night and didn't get to click on it. Now at work and can't click on it.

Thanks for the effort, mate.

Polish your pecker and crack open a cold one in anticipation, my friend

I understand your sentiments in this regard, LV, but I don't believe renewable energy companies -- solar in particular -- will be quite like the dotcom bust.

Sure, the basic business principles for each company will have to be economically viable, but unlike the dotcom bust, renewable energy companies -- and again, solar in particular -- have been around for decades now, mate.

Some will go bust, but there'll be many who'll make good money, I believe.

I only have to look to the Chinese-Australian who's now set-up in China and is operating a multi-billion dollar solar company. A very profitable one at that.
