Despite the fact that the number of hedge funds holding long positions in Trina Solar Limited (ADR) (NYSE:TSL)’s stock went up by seven during the first three months of the year, the aggregate capital investment has not increased significantly compared to the overall stock gain during the same period. Despite a slightly bullish hedge fund sentiment in the first quarter, the stock is on the downtrend since the last week of June. We feel we need to see how the hedge fund sentiment has changed in the second quarter before we can recommend this stock at its depreciated price.
