I'm glad I got a position yesterday.  Anyone else in the same boat?

 

 

LDK is on the move....anyone else load up in the past days?

Yep, averaged around 7.29. Held it through that drop and now back in the green , looking for 8+

Nice position!

Just put in a offer; lets hope this bad boy goes up. I need it!

Anyone loading up?  Not sure if I should wait a bit more.  52 week low right now at 5.47

 

Going long on this one.

 

 

love this one

damn it got my money stuck in MCP and RSH that I missed out on all the solar play this morning.

&P KEEPS SELL RECOMMENDATION ON ADSS OF LDK SOLAR
12 days 8 hours 26 minutes ago - S&P Capital IQ's

We widen our loss per ADS estimates by $1.99 to $4.90 for '12 and by $1.47 to $3.23 for '13. We cut our 12-month target price by $0.50 to $1.00 on price-to-book below peers. LDK posts Q2 loss per ADS of $2.00 vs. $0.62 loss, wider than our $0.57 loss estimate. Sales rose 18% from Q1, on higher wafer shipments. Margins were well below our view, hurt by an inventory write-down and other impairment charges. We remain cautious of LDK's elevated debt obligations and high cost structure. We expect profitability to remain elusive due to ongoing price declines and high interest expense

LDK Solar Modules Pass PID Test by TUV Rheinland and PV Lab
5 days 14 hours 47 minutes ago - PR Newswire via Comtex
LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LDK) ("LDK Solar") a leading vertically integrated manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) products, announces that LDK Solar modules have passed the potential-induced degradation (PID) tests performed at TUV Rheinland's and PV Lab's laboratories. In both tests LDK modules demonstrated a reduction in performance under test conditions of less than one percent, earning LDK modules a "Class A" rating.

PID has become a major concern in the solar industry as it can significantly reduce the power output of a PV system. Inherent differences in voltage between the module framework and solar cells as well as environmental conditions such as increased humidity and higher temperatures can lead to degradation over the life cycle of the module, reducing the yield of a PV system.

In order to assess the PID performance of its products, LDK Solar conducted testing of its 60 and 72 cell multicrystalline PV modules. During the tests performed by TUV Rheinland and PV Lab, a negative voltage of 1,000 Volts is applied to the modules at an ambient room temperature (25 degrees Celsius) and humidity over a period of 7 days (168 hours). The module front is covered with aluminum foil or a constant water film to minimize the resistivity with the grounded frame. According to both laboratories, if a module's performance declines by less than five percent under test conditions it is deemed to have passed the test. LDK Solar's modules, with performance declines of less than one percent under test conditions, passed these tests by a wide margin.

"This positive product reliability testing carried out via two of the most respected laboratories in the PV industry demonstrates our commitment to ensure a long lifetime, reliable power output and uncompromised safety of LDK Solar modules," said HK Cheong, Deputy General Manager of the LDK Solar Module Business Unit. "The superior quality of materials and workmanship in our modules results in long-term high power yields in all applications."

Through continuous optimization of the design, choice of materials and in-house manufacturing processes, LDK Solar can guarantee consistent production of PID-resistant modules. In addition to LDK Solar internal quality control and testing, LDK Solar modules meet independent test standards such as the Ammonia Resistance Test Certification IEC 62716 and the Salt Mist Corrosion Test Certification (IEC 61070) by the Photovoltaic Institute (PI) Berlin.
