Why Should I invest in First Solar?


I need at least three reason as to why I should BUy the stock , first solar, Then I need reasons why I should seel First Solar,PLEASE POST!

Three reasons to buy:

(1) It is in an exciting industry with a lot of growth potential.
(2) I has a lot of upward momentum in the stock price.
(3) The mean recommendation from professional analysts is "buy" (2 on a scale running from 1 to 5).
(4) The stock's high volume means the stock is quite liquid.

Three reasons to sell:

(1) The stock price is very high compared to the earnings, as indicated by a PE ratio of 140.
(2) From a brief look at the company profile it appears to be something of a one-trick pony. If another company comes up with a better cheaper way to make a similar product their order flow would drop very quickly.
(3) There have been 25 insider sales but no insider purchases in the last six months.
(4) The stock is trading at approximinately its one year target estimate.

I am assuming this is some sort of an academic exercise. If I am wrong and you are actually considering a real-money investment, remember these reasons came from a source that had difficulty counting to three.

Many solar stocks would be a good speculation to the growing industry.

You should buy FSLR as a very small part of your portfolio (1% or less) as a speculative investment. You might want to consider the ETF symbol "TAN" instead (slightly less risk).
Only buy if you have a clear exit plan and time horizon.

You should sell FSLR if it's more than 2% of your portfolio or if you have little trading/investing experiance.

WAIT.....FSLR has had a very good run, but looking forward, JASO has more growth.

If you need random strangers to give you a reason...maybe you should invest in something you are more sure about. Keep in mind that noone here is looking out for your best interests or your pocketbook.
