Hey Shasta.I hope all is well.
I group the solars together and am really keen on FSLR . It is the most reliably bought in the sector. With ASTI, ya have to be more in tune with the goings on of the company I suspect and I don't anymore. To me, FSLR is the way to play the sector. Great on dips. And what a dip during the mkt whack! Hit 144 for a spell. SPWR is #2 imo.
ya don't get the leverage with these, but reliability should be far better. That said, who knows;--0
i'd love to have been more help!
