Solar Enertech DL
War ja fast eine Punktlandung gestern, bis 1,19€ wurde sie hoch gezogen.
Und das Volumen in den USA....wunderbar, Mittwoch 1,7 mill. u. Do 2,6 Million
weiter so
Schönes We
Leute, wollt ihr Geld verdienen .. oder euch immer und ewig nur mit ein paar Euros zufrieden geben?
Solar ist in China, USA etc noch nichtmals in den Kinderschuhen .... wer jetzt schon in Hektik verfällt, könnte sich in 2-3 Jahren in den A..... beißen.
.... alles nur meine Meinung.
Die aktuelle MK liegt bei 130 Millionen Dollar meines wissens oder höher also muß man Vergleiche anstellen.
Ich nehme da mal Aktien wie HOKU oder AKNS oder ASTI und da erscheint mir Solar Enertech wirklich billig.Denn die MKs der aufgezählten Firmen liegen schon bei mindestens 230 Millionen Dollar und haben nicht mehr Umsatz als SOEN.
Was aber wenn ich mit Solar Power anschaue?
Die MK liegt auch bei 130 Millionen Dollar wie bei SOEN.
ABER die Zahlen für 2007 und vor allem die für 2008 werden deutlich besser ausfallen meines wissens nach.
Also billig ist immer vieles.Es kommt drauf an womit man vergleicht.
Aber SOEN wird seinen Weg machen und in diesen Boomzeiten bei Solar wird der Kurs in den kommenden Monetan auch noch weiter anziehen denke ich.
Viel Glück allen.
Ich habe an Solar Enertech ein paar fragen gestelt.Ich bin erst am wochenende wider da. Die Antworten gebe ich noch weiter.
MENLO PARK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 13, 2007 -- Solar EnerTech Corp. (OTCBB: SOEN) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed an interim sales aI am still a very big optimist about the future of Soler Enertech.In the last few days I read through the Balance Sheet.All in all,the company standes on a solid foundation.

Ich glaube solar Enertech steigt sehr hoch bis zu 10 € wenn mann Geduld hat.
Wir haben Voriges Jahr nur für ein bericht 5 Monat gewartet.
Jetzt;Firma hat 2 große Produktion Halle gebaut.
Aufrag ist Voll.
3 Schicht Arbeit.
Mit Modernste Technik Universität Schanghai zusammen arbeit macht immer technische Vorsprung.
SOLAR ENERTECH STEIGT NOCH OBEN KURZ 2 €
Wer sich permanent über vertane Chancen ärgert, trifft eher falsche Entscheidungen. Das Unternehmen startet ja erst in die Wachstumsphase. Davor war erstmal die Qualität der Produkte wichtig und die stimmt. Potentielle Auftraggeber sind doch sensibilisiert, wenn Technik aus China kommt. Bei vergleichbarer dokumentierter Qualität und gleichzeitig guten Preisen wird es aber interessant. An dem Punkt befindet sich SOEN. Die kürzliche private Kapitalspritze ermöglicht vielleicht eine schnellere Vollendung und Inbetriebnahme der zweiten 25MW Linie. Und die Sky Global Group ist ein Schwergewicht im spanischen und portugiesischen Markt. Die Reaktion des Marktes auf allgemeine und firmenspezifische Geschehnisse lässt sich mit Logik wohl kaum erklären. Der emotionale Faktor wiegt schwer und deshalb sehen wir momentan diese Kurse wieder.
No forecast is made for the stock market as a whole.
However, we do believe that whichever way the market
moves, stocks rated OUTPERFORM have, in the
aggregate, a higher probability of performing better than most others.>

David Gelbaum ist die Nummer 9 der "100 most powerful people in Southern California":
You may never have heard of him and, at just 5-foot-5 with a slight build and soft-spoken demeanor, Gelbaum may not seem particularly powerful. But by donating more to conservation causes than anyone in the state—anonymously—this hedge-fund multimillionaire has taken a leading role in safeguarding something near and dear to the hearts of many here: the outdoors. Under the guidance of politically savvy environmentalist David Myers, Gelbaum's gifts have protected enough mountain and desert land to create another Yosemite National Park, and his donations to wilderness education programs have sent nearly half a million inner-city schoolchildren to the mountains, desert or beach, many for the first time. Crucial tracts of the Mojave National Preserve have been protected, thanks to the Wildlands Conservancy, which Gelbaum cofounded. These days, the conservancy finds itself in the thick of the debate over the development of Tejon Ranch in the Teha-chapi Mountains. The Gelbaum-backed group, along with the Sierra Club and others, wants to reduce the amount of the ranch that will be paved and preserve 245,000 acres as wilderness— a tussle that will help define the limits of growth in Southern California.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Solar EnerTech Corp. (the "Company") today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
For the fiscal 2008 first quarter ended December 31, 2007, Solar EnerTech reported total revenue of $4.8 million compared to no revenue in the same period of the prior year. The revenue result is in-line with first quarter revenue guidance announced on December 28, 2007. The Company recorded $2.2 million in solar cell and module sales with the remaining portion coming from the resale of raw materials. Module sales were sold mainly to customers in Europe. The Company incurred a negative gross profit of $466,000 for the first quarter ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to low manufacturing volume.
Total operating expense for the fiscal 2008 first quarter was $4.3 million compared to $2.6 million in the prior year period. First quarter operating expense included a $2.4 million non-cash stock compensation charge related to the hiring and retention of key executives. The increase in operating expense was due to an increase in sales and marketing activities and general and administrative expense to support overall growth. The Company also incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $362,000 related to the conversion of certain Series A convertible notes into common stock and the settlement of all promissory notes with the Company's common stock.
The Company incurred interest expense charges of $278,000 associated with Series A and B convertible notes as well as gains of $1.1 million and $115,000 associated with the change in fair market value of compound embedded derivative liability and warrant liability, respectively.
Net loss for the fiscal 2008 first quarter was $3.9 million, or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or ($0.03) per share in the same period of the prior year.
Mr. Leo Young, Chief Executive Officer of Solar EnerTech commented, "Our performance in the first quarter met our projections and we are making steady progress increasing sales of solar cells and modules. As we move into the second quarter, we are focused on scaling up our production capabilities and further developing our R&D initiatives.
We are in the process of expanding the size of our manufacturing operations and have moved our solar module manufacturing equipment to our new 21,000 square foot facility located near our existing plant within the Jinqiao Technology Park. This line is expected to be fully operational after the Chinese New Year holiday. As part of this expansion, we have also installed a new testing center for solar module efficiency. These measures will improve our production capabilities and provide us with the necessary space to install a second solar cell production line.
We are also making progress in our joint R&D efforts with Shanghai University. This included the successful implementation, on a testing line in the lab, of a new patent-protected technique that will enable us to decrease wafer thickness, increase the conversion rate of solar cells and reduce silicon consumption. Our joint R&D efforts have also resulted in continued progress on second generation thin film materials and a new processing technology for third generation nano-architectured photovoltaic materials and devices, both of which are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future products."
Financial Outlook
For the fiscal 2008 second quarter ending March 31, 2008, Solar EnerTech expects revenue to be in the range of $7 million to $8 million. The Company expects approximately 80% of sales will be generated from modules sales with the remaining portion coming from the resale of raw materials. The Company's contract with Sky Solar (Hong Kong) International Co., Ltd, which was announced on December 18, 2007, is scheduled to begin delivery during the fiscal second quarter ending March 31, 2008 with ongoing delivery expected in the fiscal third and fourth quarters ending June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008.
Mr. Young continued, "We were pleased to have completed another round of financing in January raising $21.4 million. The proceeds from this offering will be used for working capital to fund expansion of production, customer order fulfillment and the installation our second 25Mw production line, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of the calendar year.
Overall, we are encouraged with the outlook for our business in fiscal 2008 as we continue to make healthy progress with our business development and R&D initiatives. We expect to increase our manufacturing capacity to 50 Mw, improve our solar processing techniques and further develop new, highly innovative solar products, which can benefit our profit margin and reduce operating costs. We are off to a good start in fiscal 2008 and are well positioned for future growth ahead," concluded Young.
