Yesterday, the World Bank said that China has the capacity to absorb the impact of the recent international financial market turmoil if it spreads to its robust economy. "Even if the financial crisis brings about a global economic slowdown, it will help China to adjust its pace of economic development," said Louis Kuijs, senior economist for World Bank's China office. Will Chinese solar stocks benefit from this momentum?

MEMC Electronic Material (WFR - Last trade $58.82) reported last week that a construction incident at its Pasadena, Texas, polysilicon facility resulted in a power outage to the entire site. Although the power was eventually restored later that day, the unplanned and abrupt shutdown of high temperature and pressure chemical operations caused considerable complications. The facility is responsible for about 70% of their total production, and as a result the company said that they expect Q3 revenues to be approximately 5% below the previously targeted level of $500 million. They also said that margins are to be approximately flat sequentially from 2Q07 levels due to the associated costs. |

Even if prices on Wall Street nosedive, solar stocks could remain well-supported as a hedge against higher energy costs.

The drive for carbon reduction has many critics. Brace yourself for a heated lecture if you are lucky enough to bump into one of these critics at your next house party. They will spend hours telling you about the true origins of global warming, and they will blame rising food prices on the push for biofuels. |

Have we now found a bottom for stocks? In Part 2 we recommended the "wait-and-see" approach, as more economic data is needed to show the impact of the subprime meltdown. I'm not going to pretend that it's easy to call a top or a bottom, but I believe that there is good value out there. |
