Solar is Red Hot

Keeping an Eye on Solar

This week has brought some very interesting plays in the solar energy sector. We’ve already seen big gains from SPI Energy Inc. SPI, JinkoSolar Holdings. Inc. JKS, and SunWorks Inc. SUNW, and would like to keep our eyes peeled for other opportunities in the arena which may be boosted by the volatility in those moves.

Yesterday alone, SPI went parabolic as it popped off from a low of 3.30 and hit 46.67 for an intraday run of over 1300%, SUNW ran from .73-4.57 (+526%), and JKS continued a month long run with a solid jump from 28.30 to 33.74 (+19%).

What this all tells us, is that a lot of eyeballs are sure to be flooding the solar space in coming sessions, and we’d like to formulate an options idea in the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN), which is presently flirting with a double top, the breaking of which would put it into blue sky territory. To make things interesting, we are going to place the TAN 10/16 $54-56 Calls on watch.
