What's up with solar stocks?
Sorry for the dumb headline, but I'm a relatively new iHubber, and have a few comments related to solar and iHub that I'd be interested in people's opinions on.
It seems odd that there seems to be no correlation -- or perhaps there's a negative correlation -- between the quality of a company and the traffic on iHub. Sometimes, it seems like the worse the company, the more the traffic. Case in point:
LDK (pronounced el dick) is a big, high-growth, profitable company trading at about $12, and there's a total of 330 LDK postings to iHub. Contrast with CNUV (seen 'nuff), a sub-penny with over 5000 iHub postings.
Or SPWRA, one of the top solar companies in the world, 31 iHub posts; versus SLRW (slow reward), another sub with 11,000+ iHub posts.
Or CSIQ (sea sick) - a sold company trading over $11 with 234 iHub posts, versus SSOL (esshole), a penny with 5,000+ iHub posts.
A little closer contest: Solar EnerTech (SOEN) vs. Entech Solar (ENSL). SOEN is a rising company with strong growth, which just turned a profitable quarter. ENSL doesn't make anything anymore, and has no plans to make anything.
FSLR (fizzler) and TSL don't have anywhere near the traffic as their baby cousins AWSL (awes-hole) or RSOL (arsehole).
Is it paid pumpers? Ten-bagger dreamers?
