First Solar -- Trump's Tariffs On India's Solar Panels -- Wednesday, February 25, 2026

Locator: 50054SOLAR.

First Solar: up 37% for full one year -- but pre-market is down almost 20% -- 

I asked a chatbot why First Solar (the ticker) is plunging. The reply: because more people are selling than buying.  

President Trump has just slapped a 126% tariff on India's solar panels exported to the US. Link here

Pre-order. Wow! This thing must be huge. Premium pricing. 1,675 pieces, and selling for $229.

Wow! I have $200 in loyalty points. This would cost me $29.99.

What is the kipper tie? A very, very wide (4.5 to 5 inches), garish tie popular in the 1960s, maybe early 1970s.
