TAN ETF Investing for the FutureThis post intends to explain the fundamental analysis of why an ETF like TAN is a great investment for the future. First we start to produce energy with wood, followed with coal that has great energy density but produces lots of pollutants, then we started to use oil, and since then we have become addicted to oil, but this addiction is not sustainable for the future. We are about to reach Peak Oil in the coming years. Oil will become more expensive and we will need another source of energy to move our global economy, but also protect our planet while doing so, and solar energy can do this. Not nuclear, not eolic, not hydrogen fuel, but solar energy. Nuclear power while very efficient and "clean", is risky, and nuclear waste if not handled correctly can do a lot of damage. Fukushima Power Plant is an example. Eolic energy is a good alternative, but winds are not constant and this makes electricity production intermittent. Definitely we will complement our energy consumption in the future with eolic energy, but in a small percentage. Hydrogen fuel, is a terrible thing to have to store and transport. Swapping petroleum for hydrogen would require pressurized fuel tanks, tankers and gas stations and all the incumbent costs, engineering and safety issues, definitely not the fuel of the future. Then there is Solar energy. It's an astonishing fact that capturing all the energy in just one hour's worth of sunlight would enable us to meet the planet's food and energy needs for an entire year. The solar revolution is coming. Solar is now the cheapest form of electricity . The chart does not matter. Solar is the future.

JKS - too good to be trueAfter recommending NYSE:JKS for long term purchase last November, idea went trully ballistic in recent months making around +500% since the time of recommendation. Despite such price increase, company still does not seem particularly expensive (it was a bargain in low teens) and high purchasing volume also hints that trend higher may continue for years to come. However, short term wise, JKS is clearly very overbought, and decent correction may ensue shortly. looking for spots to take some profits off the table should be priority strategy in the upcoming weeks.

SPWR Earnings Slightly Better Than Expected: Plotting a Re-entrySun Power spent a solid month between 9.5 and 10.5 per share (The first "idea" of mine was dated July 15th calling for the potential LONG on it). It closed today at 11.5 and then reported earnings which were slightly (decently even) less negative than the projections yielded. That said, its bull run should be somewhat tempered by a negative report even so. A good re-entry point is near the top end of its corrective wave - targetting a 10.5 to 10.7 re-entry. SPWR is trading at its annual high; a recapturing of its former glory at 16+ per share is not inconceivable, though had the earnings report trended closer to a break-even this would be even more of a "must buy." The average cost was 9.51 before a re-positioning (now) which has not really worked out so brilliantly, but a FOMO buy must be avoided and the proper call is to wait for a slight recoil, at least under the previous high-end of the corrective wave sequence seen in the Handle. Thus, we remain bullish, but hardly obnoxiously so -- if I had a TV Show I probably wouldn't be a screaming "BUY NOW" but I would absolutely keep an eye on SPWR the remainder of the trading week with the re-entry points mentioned highlighted as alerts. Thanks.

BUY First Solar Now (~$50)Big future awaits solar energy, so everyone understands this and therefore investors won't give up on this stock. Long-term growth perspective is huge. Thus, you can buy the stock now at it's lows and hold it untill the good times.Don't track it everyday, save your nerves. FSLR may at least double it's current price. But you can take advantage of the future growth in short term trade: Buy @ +-$50 Short stop @ $49 Take @ ~$59 Be aware, that there is a high probability to trigger your stop due to the coronavirus fears and economic or polytic impact, but still it worth it. Have a good luck!

JKS - bright future for solar ahead?With ongoing worldwide trends towards clean energy, there is good potential for solar sector to shine in the years ahead. After rather significant selloff recently some ideas are trying to put a bottom finally, and NYSE:JKS is one of them. Good earnings released today and breakout through neckline of inverse H&S provide initial signs of reversal. I entered position on breakout today, and plan to hold as one of core holdings for next year, with some short-term trading in and out.
