Third straight positive week for solar
The 20 Solar Stock Index (20SSI) gained just over 6 points for the week but it was enough for a 1.58% rise since last Friday. The Dow hopped about 48 points for about a .5% gain; the NASDAQ actually lost 22 points, slightly over a 1% drop.
MarketWatch reports most U.S. stocks ended the week with losses but small gains in health care stocks and consumer-related shares kept things from being worse. Although solar stocks did fairly well, most tech stocks were the biggest losers.
Twelve companies in the 20SSI finished ahead; average increase per stock was 2.64%. It was the third consecutive week of gains for the index and LDK Solar, SolarFun, Canadian Solar, Trina Solar and Akeena Solar lead the pack. SunPower was the week's biggest loser, dropping 23%.
