time to follow QQQ's (down)FSLR generally tracks closely to QQQ's, and recent divergence is temporary in my opinion
While its possible that the QQQ's break to the upside and exit their bear market, the more likely scenario is for the recent bear market bounce to fizzle out and we'll at least see a re-test of June lows.
repeat of June 03-16 would be 17% decline for FSLR --which puts it at ~$112. QQQ's only lost 12% in that time frame, but note that the low average daily trade volume for FSLR contributes to its price volatility both directions
