Goldman Sachs Says Go Long Solar Stocks
For all the perceived evil, you have to give them credit....
Goldman Sachs knows how to make money — lots of it.
In fact, they are so good at making money — for themselves and their clients — that for years they've been referred to in financial circles as 'Golden Slacks'.
It's rumored that they won't talk to you unless you've got $5 million to invest. And they only lend their name to the most exclusive high-end deals and initial public offerings. (They underwrote yesterday's Tesla IPO.)
Point is, Goldman is the best of breed of Wall Street banks. When they speak... the world listens.
And this week, they came out bullish on the solar sector.
Goldman's solar calls
Attached to the Goldman client note was a list of solar stocks and their analysts' opinion of each.
Here are the stocks they initiated coverage on, along with ratings and price targets:
First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR): Buy rating and $150 price target
SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWRA): Neutral rating, $15 price target.
MEMC (NYSE: WFR): Sell rating, $9 price target.
JA Solar (NASDAQ: JASO): Buy rating, added to Conviction List. $7.50 target price.
Suntech (NYSE: STP): Sell. Target price: $8.40.

Solar Reversal
After the down swing of last week, Solar Stocks are getting ready for another bullish swing. The short-term trend could get reversal in the next few days, and the Solar Stock ETF TAN looks like this:
Claymore/MAC Global Solar Index (ETF) (NYSE:TAN) 
The higher lows could also mean a medium-term trend change.

First Solar Rallies As Credit Suisses Turns Bullish; $150 Target
First Solar (FSLR) shares are on the rise this morning after Credit Suisse analyst Satya Kumar upped his rating on the stock to Neutral from Outperform, with a new price target of $150, up from $110. He contends that upside in pricing for Q2 and Q3 is not yet reflected in the stock.
Kumar offers a four-part thesis for his upgrade of the solar company’s shares:
He sees upside to estimates, and today raised his 2010 demand estimate to 13 GW from 12.7 GW, and says strong demand should reduce price erosion.
Risks to long-term margins are diminishing, he contends. Easy cost reductions for rival silicon-based solar companies - in particular lower poly prices, outsourcing to China and vertical integration - have mostly been accomplished.
Long-term growth prospects remain intact; he says 2011 might not be as bad as feared, particularly in Germany; he thinks U.S. demand could surprise positively.
FSLR’s panel efficiencies should “inflect meaningfully higher” by Q4 of this year or Q1 of next year, he contends.
Kumar raises his 2010 EPS estimate to $7.53, from $6.79; the Street consensus is $6.93. For 2011, he goes to $8.32, from $7.34.

SunPower Corporation Upgraded
SunPower Corporation (SPWRA) was upgraded by some analysts, and moved yesterday into new highs.
Macquarie upgraded SPWRA from Underperform to Neutral, and raised price target from $23.50 to $30.
Looking at the chart, there is a price resistance around $34, and if today we get to close above that price, we could be at the beginning of another bullish rally for this solar stock.

With Crude Oil getting very close to $80, Solar Stocks might have enough momentum to keep the current short-term trend up. Most Solar Stocks are now pointing up such as First Solar (FSLR) and Suntech Power (STP), etc..
In my opinion it's the perfect time to jump in now, for a quick trade, as long as today's movement in Solars keeps going up.

State of the TAN (Solar Stock ETF)
After the recent rally, Solar Stocks now seem to be slowing down, and we could be close to the start of a Down-Swing.

Claymore/MAC Global Solar Index (ETF) is a good Benchmark for the whole Solar Stock Sector. This ETF should find a resistance near the $10 mark, with the mid-term trend still down since the last top in June.
Many of the Solar Stocks are still positive for today and I will remain Bullish until we see a reversal flag on the daily chart.

Someone is Bearish on First Solar
When at least one investor is Bearish on First Solar, and gets this much coverage on the media, then I would say to start doing the opposite.
With the recent market correction, maybe it's time to start getting Bullish. First Solar looks Bullish to me around the $130 - $145.
On TheStreet.com news regarding this:
Right out of the gate today, an investor's put spread purchase trumped normal daily options volume in First Solar (FSLR Quote) despite a positive outlook from analysts.
FSLR second-quarter earnings are due on July 29. Analysts expect a 36-cent drop in earnings, even after the solar semiconductor manufacturer beat analysts' estimates by 50 cents last quarter.
FSLR is approximately 30% off its recent high of $202.40 reached on May 20, and it looks like at least one investor could be betting that the stock could decline further.
