Short Seller Changes in Alternative Energy (CSIQ, CPST, CLNE, ESLR, FSLR, FTEK, FCEL, HOKU, LDK, SPWR)

Many traders and short sellers have loved targeting solar power and other alternative energy stocks.  What is interesting is that the bets against these companies did not show a larger increase since many of them have been under pressure from falling energy and commodities prices..
