First Solar, Inc. (FSLR): Buy or Beware

Page 2 of 2

Foolish bottom line
As an investor that’s been burned by solar stocks in the past, I’d be one to stay away from solar. While the growth potential is very compelling, investors are in for a bumpy ride as the market continues to develop. It’s tough to see the balance between risk and reward being in favor of investors who buy First Solar’s stock today, especially in light of the run-up this year. The company saw it as an opportunity to sell its stock to bolster its balance sheet, meaning that the price might not be right for potential buyers.

That’s why the stakes have never been higher for current investors. You need to ensure that First Solar’s stock won’t burn you, which is why I’d encourage you to stay updated on the company whenever news breaks.
