The Globe's Peter Kennedy writes that Legg Mason Wood Walker analyst Ronald Tanner says many stock market players view Mr. Gates, the richest man in the world, as a very shrewd investor, and as a result mirror his market moves. Analysts warn that fuel-cell stocks have risen so quickly that some may be in for a fall once investors begin to focus in on which companies stand the best chance of bringing their technology to market. Mr. Tanner says fuel-cell stocks have come so far so quickly that many are beginning to take on valuations that resemble Internet stocks. Investors may be taking their cue from William Ford, chairman of Ford Motor, who sees "major business opportunity" in fuel-cell technology.
