REC Silicon's Board of Directors will consider a 2-month curtailment of
production at the facility in Moses Lake near March 1, 2019 to reduce FBR
inventories. At that time, REC Silicon's Board will consider whether trade
negotiations between the United States and China are likely to result in REC
regaining access to the China market for solar grade polysilicon and the overall
outlook for the polysilicon market. A decision to temporarily curtail production
at Moses Lake will not result in a workforce reduction. Customer demand will be
met through the sale of REC Silicon's existing inventories.

Samme leksa her som i iox, som nettop gikk fra 2,60 til nærmere 6, fikk du ikke kjøpt noen aksjer der, sikkert ikke, du ville vel helst kjøpe til 2, Herre min Gud for en gjeng.

Enkelte mente at det ville komme en short inndekning etter resultatfremleggelsen sist uke. Fasit etter gårdagens handel er at Marshall nå mener det er på tide å øke shorten:

Kunne ikke lagt til at shorten ble satt på et ganske greit volum med oppgang i går og at shorten kan ha blitt satt for og stoppe oppgangen? Ps: Sa2ri det er ikke farlig og vinkle ting positivt.

Jeg har ikke noe grunnlag for å mene noe som helst hvorfor Marshall øker shorten sin. Din spekulasjon om dette er tatt helt ut av løse luften (og ønsketenkning ut fra din egen sits). Hvis en økning i synlig short på ca. 2,3 mill aksjer er egnet til å "stoppe oppgangen", ja da er kursen i REC skjørere enn du har lyst til å tenke på.

USA kommer til å ta grep mot klimaendringene. Dette blir på sikt veldig gunstig for REC. Bare de overlever de neste par årene: https://on.ft.com/2T0W8T0
