I just got this from Briefing Com. << Ballard Generations Systems and GEC ALSTHOM will jointly invest $37.25 million to form a new company for the manufacturing, sale and distribution of PEM fuel cell power plants in Europe. Since the beginning of the week, BLDPF shares have soared from $59 (an improvement of 39%), sparked by news released Monday that Ford Motor Co. and German automaker Daimler-Benz plan to acquire stakes of 15% and 20% respectively, in Ballard Power in a plan to develope fuel-cell power components for cars by 2004.>> Opinions from anyone familiar with this technology. This news cannot bode well for our sector near term.

OFF TOPIC* <<<Dear Luc, Seriously, what brings you to think that "we are poising for a nice rally"? Why don't you just accept that we are in a downtrend at this time and sit back and wait for the turn. Pom poms and cheering went out in high school. >>> Well, I've been called many things but never a cheerleader. You're pretty funny. Grow up and come back to the board when you have a bit of civility. Taking out your frustrations (regarding your drilling issues) on me will not help your sinking portfolio. Perhaps you should consider selling out of this volatile mkt in order that your psychological health will improve. Until then, Good Luck! -Lucretius PS- in the future keep this crap off the board. If you want to discuss drillers, fine. However, personal attacks should be left to the school yard. We just got rid of one rather unpleasant fellow. I have an e-mail address if you want to send hate-mail.
