Well, that's right. Though I'm invested since 96 most people in Germany are discovering Ballard right now. I believe only a few ever heard the name Ballard before the Daimler deal. Now another company (the German "Effecten-Spiegel AG", OTC) announced that they've recently aquired a 1% stake in Ballard at the open market. Because news was published today in one of the best-known German stock letters more retail investors may enter the boat. (BTW, this is the same company which aquired a 1% stake of Eurogas (EUGS), check the thread here on SI.)

The volume in Germany (Berlin) was greater than that on NASDAQ for several days, topping around 250,000, I believe. I don't see a takeover here, just positioning.

I for myself expect the stock to settle the next days. Maybe time for some profit taking?
