Chinese solar maker plunges, losing nearly $19 billion in 24 minutes

The decline of Hanergy Thin Film Solar Group Ltd. was as spectacular and inexplicable as its ascent. Just 24 minutes of Hong Kong trading erased $18.6 billion of market value and wiped out almost four months of gains that made it more valuable than Sony Corp. of Japan. The maker of solar equipment controlled by Li Hejun suspended trading after the stock plummeted 47 percent in the morning.
