No question who was the winning stock today - Solar2 AG up 33%. That is meant to be expressed as solar squared by the way - the Germans would call it "Solarhoch Zwei" - hence their homepage (no english I'm afraid) www.solarhoch2.de .

Since going public at EUR 3.90 per share near the top of the market on the 3rd of April last year, after it's initial bounce to just over EUR 5, it has had a pretty miserable time decending below 2 and pretty much staying there. According to the company's press section on the website, anonymous allegations were earlier made over the company's transations with Plambeck Neue Energien AG and it's subsidiaries. But since preliminary investigations were dropped on January 12th against board members, Mr Brikey and Mr Wind, this cloud has been lifted.

The company is unusual in the solar sector, because it provides solar pv and solar thermal systems.
