When I was a boy, I used to play this game called "Star Fighter" on my Atari 64K computer. The purpose of the game was (as usual) killing a bunch of aligns. Each time your spaceship ran out of rocket fuel, you got an alert saying "Energy level critical" and had to fly to the sun to get some juice and leave before you melt.
That was back in 1984 when the price of crude oil was around $27. 24 years later, crude oil busted through $140 a barrel and yet the power of the sun seems to be light years away from it's use potential.
I guess I'll just hold on my WFR position and hope to see some green on the screen before the sun will set ;-)

I think the world cannot live with oil prices over $100 a barrel for a long time, but the solar rush will take some time to become widely used.
I know thw general direction is up for solar industry, but WFR has negative returns over the last 2 months - I can't understand what makes the share so volatile..

My favorite solar energy companies are LDK and SPWR, but I think I'll have to hold on to my shares for a few more years until they skyrocket.

I'm with you on WFR.. I think the atmosphere is bad in the markets but you never know when they will shoot back up again.. the only thing you do know is that the market will go back up, as sure as the sun will shine...
