FSLR

07/30/08

First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)

How about solar?... First Solar (FSLR) is best of breed... It's also the only one I will ever recommend... And it just reported a huge beat... earning $.85 cents a share when the Street was looking for just $.58 cents... That's the largest upside surprise I've seen in this reporting period... a $.47 cent upside surprise... Along with this, they've been doing way better than expected with full year guidance...
