Today is not yesterday.  The module market is not the marketplace of 1984.  Manufacturing is not the manufacturing of 1984. The sales channel is not the sales channel of 1984. 

The risk today can be well contained.

Maybe this bubble is going to pop,  maybe it won't.  At this point it seems to me the market is saturated, and a newcomer better have something unique to bring to the table.

There's little innovation without risk on someone's part. Sounds like that's not for you.
