TSC Staff

TheStreet.com's Beat the Street contest continued to be dominated by solar stock plays this week, although solar favorite First SolarFSLR was not part of any leading portfolios.

GolfScout8 holds the lead at $304,989 with a portfolio comprised of Solarfun PowerSOLF, Canadian SolarCSIQ, SunpowerSPWR, China SunergyCSUN and Trina SolarTSL.

Trailing the leader are RKnapton3 at $298,774, Juanita at $297,661, Mukh63 at $297,304and SDWCheney at $296,623. It's interesting to note that SDWCheney is the only top five contestant holding one of the five most popular stocks this week, as they switched into DeereDE on Tuesday night.
