Case Study: Evergreen Solar (ESLR)

Solar's promise is huge, but current earnings are hard-to-find. That's why on-the-ground intelligence is key to timing the hype-cycles right.

On Sept. 24, 2007, call option activity exploded, even as the stock price was declining. And that made our Radar Alert SCREAM.

During the next few hours, we watched a dramatically falling short interest along with rapidly rising insider buying. Plus, the relationship between historic and implied volatility was picture-perfect.

Sweet! Once we did a little on-the-ground digging, the opportunity became crystal-clear, and we believed the ESLR Nov 10 Calls offered the best risk-versus-reward profile.

The rest, as they say, is history. On Oct. 26, ESLR began a spectacular climb from $9 to over $18 per share.

Stock buyers hit a home run. But the Nov 10 Call buyers smashed a grand slam, as those call option contracts soared 1,200% in just 14 days!
