Big solar show may have given the boost

Solar Power International 2010 in Los Angeles this week showed a vibrant industry that is still innovating and growing despite the miserable economy. The 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) gained over 17 points to end at 441. Dow and NASDAQ indexes were up, too, as the market seems comfortable over 11000 and looking for more.
