The sentiment on solar stocks is so bad right now that I caution anyone who wants to invest in them to do their homework on what companies are stable and which are not. This brings me to First Solar ( FSLR ). Like all solar stocks, First Solar has been absolutely clobbered. It is currently trading at $56.85/share. Its 52-week price range is $53.05 - $175.45. Their market capitalization is down to a scary $4.9 billion. While it looks tempting to buy First Solar ( FSLR ) because of its depleted price, don't be fooled into thinking this is a value play. As of right now, there is just too much negative publicity with solar stocks.
