Please give me guidance, cause i bought 5k when it was $8. So you can
imagine how much i've lost already. I got an equity line of credit
from my house and put it in the market. Im loosing 50% already. Any
suggestions. Should i sell or wait to pick up a bit and then sell.

I got in at 14.00. Its what is known as being LOOOONNGGGG on a
position. Say you buy 5k more at 4.00. You then break even at 5.33 for
the whole 10k. It will hit 5.33 way before 8. It is being shorted now
and the shorts are over the 13 day threshold. It has to bounce soon.
Im in for more when it gets to 3.50.

People are making money by shorting the stock and hoping that it does
bad. AKNS is in an industry that deals with home and real estate in
the US only so ultimately its price might be related too a dreadful
housing market. I bought in at 5.50 and you just have to hold out.
Akeena might ultimately be one of those stocks that gets bought out by
an energy company that is struggling within their own solar sector,
which in a bigger industry alternative energy that might be a
possibility. No way would I sell at this moment. Just like 99% of the
stocks out there you just have to wait it out.

I am in heavily at $6.5, and that's after averaging in and selling on
the spikes from going in at almost $9. I got caught on a swing trade
before I could set my stop-loss...so be it. When it hits $4.25 I will
double up and sell on the next spike.

I think that this stock is in the dumps for a while, but with that
said; energy sectors usually do really well in the fall and the summer
time is the worst time to sell. If you are not out of the market by
June then your most likely in until Sept/Oct when all of the other
traders return from the Hamptons:)

Akeena is in the tough California market with a small lifeline to it's
licensing of the andalay system, but I think future energy policies of
the incoming administration will affect as much as anything else.

You've done many things wrong already if your post is sincere - eggs
all in one basket, borrowing against your home, buying the "hot"
stock, but just average in if you can and bail when it breaks even, or
just wait. The company will have great value...sometime. And the stock
will usually take off the day after you finally puke it up.

Good luck! And read any books that you can by Peter Lynch if you want
to keep your money.

I'm sitting on 500 with an average of 7.26.. I could average down
fairly easily with a little more cash. Akeena's stock  has a history
of doing this, then it rises like a phoenix out of the ashes. solar's
been cold for a long time and is just starting to heat up with
earnings.. the whole market should heat up with the election..
patience pay$
