I'm not happy about this type of anarchy in what is supposed to be
legitimate business. If it is illegal to naked short then someone
should be accountable. Why is it ok to ignore some laws and not
others? Just another reason why people are pulling their investment
money from these markets.

one more for you Yonil.
ENER's modules are amorphos silicon made. that material has in
potential a MUCH lower output potential during a typical day on erath
than Mono/Poly/Multycristline silicon cells.
ENER's technology is the effort of 40 years of R&D and is the last
result of a genuis person (who is retire now). ENER's cells are

I keep reading this basher guy on the yahoo board.
for every reply he gets over there he earn another dollar on top of
the 20 per hour or so he get payed by one of the hedge funds.
on top of that, he probably gets another 1 for every cent the PPS fall
that day.

he's the thing:
efficiency is the WROMG way to look at a solar product.

By the way, just out of curiosity, doesn't ENER (Energy Conversion
Devices or ECD) have a flexible solar module targeted for the BIPV
market? They are well ahead of Ascent in production ramp up, though
their market cap is crazy high so it's by no means a suggestion that
they're better as an investment right now. I'm just wondering how are

I hope you are right Avital. I would love to see us turn away from oil
but I am just reflecting on my own sentiment as a common investor.
Solar has been available for many years(along with nuclear), but money
drives all. And the big money lies in oil unfortunately. The threat
of running out of oil is certainly not going to stop the good ole'

by the way, I do not look at solar and oil in terms of "collapse",
"down trend" and/or "solar trend".
if you invest for the LONG run than you would know that ASTI was a
2.5-3 $ per share only 18 months ago -
that would make you a 187% return on your investment.
choose any solar stock, extend the bar to 1.5-2 years and see for

I on the other hand, couldn't agree less :)
solar IS the future only because of the fact that oil & gas are
depleting from our planet.
I cannot explain in several sentences what I've researched for almost
10 years.
Hedge fund DOES manipulate small companies like Ascent and the
evidance for that is the regular bashers

I could not agree more Yonil. Of course the Hedgies drive down and up
the prices to an extent, but they are based on trends. If the demand
for oil and gasoline is down because of lower production and demand,
then why would Solar energy not too. Solar has booms when investors
are spooked by increased oil and other fossil fuel commodites, and

Re: How does it work?

I think the movement in the solar sector has been caused by quant
funds practicing statistical arbitrage. They are using the betas of
the various stocks in the sector in relation to various benchmarks
like the Basic Materials and Energy sectors, to make "statistically
sound bets".

This is a very efficient form of trading, and it only gets more and

Say I am a hedge fund.
Do I ask myself “does this company is going to succeed with a new
innovative product?” NO
Do I ask myself “is the share price too low or too high for this
company and I can exploit it by investing or selling short?” NO
What I do ask myself is “how can I manipulate the share price in such

"there's no business like wall street business, like wall street
business, like wall....."
locking our shares didn't help and that is because of naked short
selling. there is absolutely no way
people can borrow shares here to sell them short - no way.

OK so our 52 week low was the other week,, we are now below 1 yr
support, so we hit the low did we hit the bottom?

Are institutions buying to short out to others cause right now we have
less short interest now but I'd say if we get no squeeze above 10 soon
by end of week and short interest becomes higher by end of week we'll
