As Eric mentioned in a post today, Friedman, Billings Ramsey downgraded First Solar (FSLR), a solar technology firm, in part because ...	May 21, 2008
AIG’s Calm Before the Earnings	Regardless of what happens when American International Group Inc. reports earnings after the close of trading, it is certainly going to be interesting.

That figure not only surpassed the mean estimate for $245 million in revenue, but blew past even the most aggressive estimates. The same goes for the per-share e...	April 17, 2008
