Hi there,
17 members have joined the club. That is really great for less than 24 hours. I hope we will hit 40.
I urge all members to join. Data is priceless and made me well into 6 figures last year just based on a couple trades based on data. Odyd is a Beast and provides data that is unmatched by anyone else...

Beast? I would say unmatched is a very good description . I had no chance to comment on this before, but I saw Makan's statement at one point on saving few dollars. Apart from some troll jabs on a subject, there is consensus by the most reputable members of this forum about value of CEDR.
I know, living in the material world, we believe in karma as the guiding light..just kidding.
Information is everything and information is so important that people pay money for it. Internet is built to pass information.
What are the circumstances of the group of investors having ability to access data, which can alter your investment thesis, help you build better returns and provide ahead view to the operational execution of your favorite company?
There are many quote providers of information and sellers of it: Solarbuzz, Solarzoom, IHS, GTM, Energytrend, being read, quoted and followed on views by members here.
How about having a superior product at the fraction of the cost of other providers, made by the analyst who built the entire format for Solarzoom and trained current staff of this research team?
Unless someone's investment in solar is a product of internet fantasy and vivid imagination, you need to look after your money. I read some opinions about unable to afford the cost. Those who are unable to spend $3 per day to understand what is behind their investment are playing with luck. Those who have investment exceeding $50K claiming cost as a reason not to get information, they are describing Starbucks coffee a day (cheap one too). Those who say they do not need information, they are contradicting own character behavior expressed by being members of this forum. Those who want to gain but believe in the free lunch, certainly never heard of nothing ventured nothing gained and frankly should stop reading at this point.
Pop is right , CEDR data has a lot more to show than any of the above firms individually do. I have received energy trend data and it is 4 times cost and you do not have even understanding of shipments volume, GADP. No poly, no Taiwan (it is a separate cost). Some of those companies bought our data in the past, but due to my request of not publishing to public and quoting us as a source, they did not follow through with my requests. Solarzoom's membership is more expensive than we offer here. We have more information than executives in China have. Dr. Tsai trained staff at Solarzoom but offered no sophisticated tools to have extra details about global average declared prices (GADP) import poly, module efficiency and Taiwanese exports. Some are exclusive only to us.
What those firms do not offer for sure, If you join the club you get access to people's opinions, using real figures and statistics. The combined power of the collective made of investors, makes a huge difference on your investment choices. in the smart well balanced atmosphere of sophisticated discussion,some of the analysis offer by Sunny, Explo, Josh and others, are examples of nothing you see in the public world and you pay thousands via broker fees or private investing for it.
Your participation will also help build greater affordability for you and other members.
I started this site in 2011 and after 3 years we are still the pioneers of the solar investment movement. Yet, we are the most advanced forum and research think tank, apart from private interests of investment banks and brokerages.
Join the next level of membership with CEDR Club and gain confidence about your investment choices or get enough understanding during tough times on the market to make you calm instead of living in a constant worry.
No matter what your strategy is if you plan to gain, CEDR is one of most sophisticated tools on your side to help you with it.

As an individual investor, this website, and the combined knowledge of the intelligent members here has helped me greatly with my investing over the past three years.
The data....and ANALYSIS of the data....are worth every penny (and i have put quite a few of them on the line in solar investing, so i mean these words quite literally).

Update on the club agenda, unfortunately we have only 20 investors. I appreciate kind words of support and I will carry on the club agenda for this quarter. This means I will financially subsidize the club from my own pocket. While still 5 days, maybe I will get supported with others joining, will see.

I forgot last time how many we had but it should be a lot more than 20. What I do remember is we were short $3 a month to make it happen.
Unless one has been so frustrated with the downturn and are afraid to invest in solar any time soon, I think now it's even more important to have access to the data and being able to participate in the discussions and analysis in order to see what these companies are actually doing amid the dynamics of all market forces, including seasonality, China DG, tariffs, poly price trend, technology shift etc. And it's a reasonable expectation that the fortune is going to turn our way heading into H2. Modelling and estimates of companies future warnings is also crucial to not being caught in a negative surprise and to be able to take advantage of great opportunities, such as the one WS missed so badly on TSL Q1 earnings.
It's $270 CAD dollars for three months, I think every investor, no matter of your portfolio size, should be able to try it out at least once. At the end of it, you can decide whether it's worth that price or not based on your actual experience. Comparing to the risks you have in the stock market on daily basis, I simply fail to see how bad an investment it could turn out for you for $270.

There are 3 days and 4 hours left to a point of CEDR closing its doors. We have 23 members, way below my objective. I will keep my commitment and deliver CEDR at those prices as an appreciation to those who made a commitment to this program.

I highly encourage everyone to at least try CEDR club. For anyone with even a moderate size portfolio, how can you not afford $3 a day is beyond me. Its less than coffee and lunch money ! Come on guys, if you don't like, you can choose not to renew next time. But how can you play with real money on Wall Street, and not try to arm yourself with the best info you could possibly get?
Please join the conversation. The more viewpoints we have, the better the forum will be, and will increase the value to you as well.

Or to put it more boldly - for those who are broke enough not to be able to "afford" $270CAD (that's about $255USD), but are not that broke to hold shares of lets say JKS and/or CSIQ, what's 10 shares in a big picture? Just sell 10 shares (unless its your only holdings). "Problem" solved. The more join the Club the less it will cost you going forward (the less shares you'll need to keep on selling on quarterly basis to stay informed). Just remember - you're not getting just the raw data, but the analysis behind it. As was proven by Odyd on number of occasions - it works. I was convinced (I was a doubter before) and I'm sure so will you.

Odyd, I have a question. How many monthly/yearly members do you have? If you have 75 members, couldn't you just raise the price on the membership fee on ALL OF US so that all can participate but it will be at a greater discount since there are now more members involved? So basically, the only way one can become a member is by becoming a CEDR member, but now that a lot more people are involved, it will be a lot cheaper than $122/mo. It may even be around $35-$40/mo instead. Is this a workable idea?

Make that 24 people who are willing to pay 3$ a day for actual information.

Wish it were that easy, pg6solar! That doesn't work when you're on margin, and massively underwater, like me. I'd have to sell practically all my holdings to get a positive cash balance so I could transfer money out. But then I can't just repurchase the same amount of shares, because for some odd reason, my margin buying power is less when I have cash than when I have shares. I found that out the hard way some time ago. I'd therefore be forced to accept tens of thousands of dollars in losses--which I can avoid if I just hold the shares and they do indeed come back up (which everyone here is confident they will by the end of the year).
If I could just find a freakin' job in this d*mn economy... but the only outfit that seems to be hiring in Colorado Springs is McDonald's. None of the tech companies are--or when they do, it's onesies and twosies, and there are 10 applicants for every opening.
