Pros

We are number 1! Technical creativity and changes are a plus to me. We have a serious background and the right people at top management. Focus on customer needs is our best force.

Cons

Management in europe is too conservative and not enough creative. Market is going down and stock is flat. Future is not shiny for silicon business. Solar business is at an inflexion point, hope it will give us back the money silicon invested so far.
