Quite ironic that one would have to have to hedge their vehicles gasoline prices with solar stock investments or any investment in general. The U.S Government should open up some of their reserves. Instead they hammer the price of the U.S dollar and invite outside nations to slowly move into the economy. The Euro for example, has made people lots of money overseas and now they are investing into U.S real estate, courtesy of the feds hammering the U.S "peso". JMO Mr. President :)

Stocks Up, Dollar Down
40 minutes ago - Briefing.com's Stock Market Update
[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market takes a bit of a breather and then extends its gains.
The unexpected rise in March industrial production has given a boost the industrials sector (+2.2%). Industrial production rose 0.3%, compared to the expected 0.1% decline. Interestingly, this counters all the manufacturing surveys for March that showed declines--which clearly were wrong. Bottom line is the manufacturing increased, and should benefit manufacturing firms' stocks.
The Dollar Index is down a steep 0.91% this session. There are concerns that the European Union is not going to cut its interest rates in the near term. This dollar is down 6.9% in 2008 and is down 13% compared to one year ago.

Thx bud
SIRI may be a good squeeze play & on my radar down here
Specific to the merger, there is an arbitrage play that potentially has a lot of people shorting Sirius (SIRI). The strategy is to go long XM (XMSR) and short Sirius (this strategy requires that the merger pass). If an investor were to do this, they will basically lock in the arbitrage spread upon the merge.
Shorts winning on SIRI for now http://seekingalpha.com/article/72103-sirius-s-short-story
Bad outlooks & downgrades. http://seekingalpha.com/article/72511-crocs-feels-like-a-heel-fast-money-4-15-08?source=etrade
I grabbed some SIRI 2.37, 45% of my order is full.
