I don't think it's too late for FSLR. Oh.. certainly not.. there is still some decent potential for the stock price, since it is still the sector leader.. However, this is a furious game of "king of the solar hill" and once you're at the top, you have to fight off all the competition (or buy them out) that is trying to knock you off that hill.. So I'm looking for those stocks that represent the potential of FSLR 1-2 years ago.. And EMKR's 40% photon-electron conversion is a pretty interesting tech which makes their cells 4x as efficient (4x less ground area required). But there are different applications for each technology. CPV seems destined to be used both large scale (as well as personal uses if we can believe that their Australian customer, CGE, can deliver the goods with "SunCube"). But CGE was the focus of the "bear raid", so I'm sure EMKR will put them in a "show me" mode with regard to customer priorities. Hawk
