RE: OPEL = Hold and ProsperObama extended the US tx credit from Dec. 2010 till Dec, 2011 (another reason the US had to offer tx breaks, if not there wouldnt have been a huge growth in the US last yr. as well, Since EU had a Solar BOOM, there forecasts for Q3 and Q4 2011 are indicating a slow down. The US will follow and at only 5% of the industry it would need a real boost in the US, to avoid following the EU solar Trend.. I am now a happy owner of shares, and will go LONG!! Just sharing what little I know about the solar industry. I played SOLR from from last May at 5$, and was pleased when the SP passed 11 6 months later. GO OPL!!
