FSLR vs. QCOM: If you look at the pattern of where venture capital is going, it has moved away from semis, and is now concentrating in Clean Tech, especially solar. Venture capital has decided, the next Intel, the next Microsoft, the next Qualcomm (I mean, what QCOM was 20 years ago, not what it is now), is in solar, or maybe in batteries or Smart Grid or something nobody is yet talking about. The next leap forward in humanities' life quality, is not going to come from a semi or software company, because computing is not the limiting factor any more. The next leap forward will be the company that provides cheap, clean energy. The next QCOM is not QCOM, and not any semi. I'm guessing it might be FSLR. <Solar? a long list of disadvantages in the future. Let's get off this now> That's it? You ask, and ask again. I take you seriously, and give you a detailed answer. You respond with a one-sentence dismissal, containing no numbers, no links, no details, no facts, no nothing. Next time you ask a question, warn me it is rhetorical, so I won't waste time replying.
