Tuesday Afternoon - Still looks sunny

FSLR Daily Chart (11:15AM)

The Trade 
I would take a 1/3rd position right here around 30 - 30.50 and put a stop around 29.60.  As soon as the stochastic turns up I'll be looking to add aggressively.  My first target is a test of the recent high (35.60) and if that level does not prove to be significant resistance I would look for a move to 40 and possibly a retest of last year's high (50.20.)  The risk (30.50-29.60=.90) and reward at the initial target (35.60-30.50=5.10) are about 3% down and 16% up.  That's attractive.

Update:  The Stochastics RSI made the move up.  I'm taking it as the buy signal and I added this morning.  If the stock shows more strength into the close I will likely buy some more.
