WE have a double peak! Strong indication it will retreat for a number of months. My guess to around 60-70 and soon. Short term players, time to exit. Bill

<<<Fuel Cells are even more complicated than IC engines.>>> Can you really, with confidence make this statement? The fuel cell itself has no moving parts. How could it be more complicated? <<<A FC power plant has a lot of plumbing to deal with connecting all the individual fuel cells up. And as they get larger they get more complicated.>>> Automation? <<<How much Platinum and how many plates will a 1 MegaWatt FC use up??>>> I think they've reduced the amount of platinum required to less than one half an ounce. <<<All this animosity comes from those who just cannot come up with anything solid to justify the $4B Market cap. So they attack whoever has a word of caution. I already reasoned that with a $4B market Cap Ballard already has alot of expectations built into it. Ballard is almost twice as large as Cummins Diesel a highly rated manufacturer of diesel engines and FOUR Times as large as Volkswagen.>>> Doesnt the ballard fuel cell have a lot more possible applications than a diesel engine? Hmmm lets see a diesel powered lap top computer, well that might not be a bad idea really....no one would be looking over your shoulder on the bus or plane or train to see what your doing .....because of course they couldnt stand the exhaust. <<<Ballard should takeover Volkswagen and get into the Auto Biz. Cheap FC powered Beetles made in Mexico. 1 Ballard share for 4 VW share.>>> I hope this is a joke because to me it doesnt really demonstrate an in depth knowledge of mergers and acquisitions. Of course you'll find that my remarks constitute animosity. mike
