For someone named "Infoseeker", you sure do a lot of preaching. Just a couple of points:

1) If GM is on par with Ballard/Daimler, where is their fuel cell? Has anyone seen it? Where is their fuel cell car? Daimler has 2 vans, 1 subcompact, and a bus. Where is the elusive GM fuel cell car? All that was shown at the Detroit show was a mock-up. No fuel cell. You would have thought they would have shown it if it was that impressive. And they still said they would continue to work with Ballard! Surprising when they supposedly have their own fuel cell just as good and when 2 of their competitors have signed an alliance with Ballard, isn't it?

2) Maybe you could share with us your knowledge on the power density of the Toyota fuel cell? I think you will find that it is several years behind Ballard's and we don't yet know if it violates Ballard's patents since Toyota is so secretive. Show me a company with a fuel cell close to the same power density as Ballard. It's easy to get 50kw out of a fuel cell the size of a house, how about one the size of a suitcase? Density is what matters.

3) If United Technologies had a viable, advanced fuel cell, why did Ford, which had been working with them for years, decide to buy in to Ballard?

4) Yes, I've heard of "insider trading", what about it?

They way I see it, if you really believe in what you are saying you have 3 choices:

1) Sell the stock short.

2) Buy puts.

3) Keep trying to talk the stock down so you can buy in at a lower price than you sold at, thus realizing some value for yourself.

What's it gonna be?
