Wakeup Thoughts: It seems like today is the day, SolarCity will begin trading on the NASDAQ exchange. I may sound repetitive but the success of SolarCity is very important to all of us. It means an exit is possible for investors in our sector and that means real financial value to each and everyone of us, especially SCTY competitors. Congrats to all on the SCTY team!!!
