GEE you mean other companies are working of fuel cells too.....wow that means that they will someday replace current engines...GREAT!!! Good thing I bought a company named ballard since they make one of these fuel cell things eh. Half the worlds oil is already gone.....lets keep the rest for more important things than burning it up. mike I bought in in september 1995....and hey CR LUM guess what "I" know what investment risk is....I make piles of money every year so dont even attempt to lecture me on how to invest pal....I'd compare my success rate with you or anybody else.

< Don't kid yourself. BALLard is great, but they have ONLY ONE product in a niche market. If that product stumbles for any reason, you will learn an important lesson in investment risk.> I have to get in on this one. How do you figure the PEM fuel cell is a niche market? Yes, I will grant you that it has very little commercial viability TODAY, but those of us who are long on BLD are betting upon its viability in the next 5-8 years or so (and not just in automotive applications). And yes, I use the term BET, since we may be wrong and lose a little or a lot of money. However, to describe BLDs POTENTIAL market as "niche" is misguided. New technical innovations/revolutions must begin somewhere. Just curious, how many people ride horses to work where you live? Nick S.
