Not everyone is gloomy on their stocks. First Solar (FSLR) investors seem positively jubilant on the Yahoo Message Boards.

Says lottraderz:

FSLR is looking good at these levels, when the broad market recovers this should move back to the 150 level. Nice advantage over the poly solar companies, and FSLR still operating at full capacity!

Another poster confirms that FSLR has held up remarkably well- given conditions in the overall market:

I started watching FSLR when it was at $32.00, bought at 105, sold at 205 on the way back down from 300. (didn’t know about the 8% rule! LOL!!!)

Check the chart, no to shabby all things considered:

The Yahoo Message board for Starbucks (SBUX) is filled with gloom and doom as the stock attempts to test its 2008 lows.

It’s been nothing but down for Starbucks for several years and the recent intensifying selling in the overall markets has added to the pressure.

Some posters are calling for $2 a share (the stock is currently just over $8.)

Others say $4 for coffee isn’t going to fly in this economy when McDonalds and others offer the same product for cheaper.

Some optimists point to the powerful Starbucks name and brand, both in the US and Europe, as a sign of future growth.

Still, the company turnaround seems far off given the overall economy. And investors are so gloomy they seem to be throwing in the towel.

Is the gloom actually calling the bottom for Starbucks shares?

Buy and hold DuPont (DD)?

It’s one of America’s oldest companies. But if you’ve owned it the last 20 years, you’re in for a world of pain- according to the posters on Yahoo’s Message Board.

“Folks, DD has slammed into the gutter once again, down, down, down to a new 17-year low of 21.18 in early trading this morning, Feb. 18, 2009.

Folks, fully 80% of the value of the decaying DuPont Company has disappeared since its peak of May 19, 1998, when the stock sold for 84.44.!”

But as several remarked- DuPont really isn’t that different from many of the other blue chips (and Dow components) that are finding themselves at lows last seen in the mid-1990s.

Posters are talking about silver at $35 an ounce on the SLV investor board. They linked to this Thestreet.com video talking about the same.

They’re also talking about a cup and handle forming for both gold and silver, with an upside to $18 for silver.
