What is wrong with the following picture? Statement 1 .... and I'm just an investulator, not a professional battery bullshitter. Statement 2 I guess mr. darnell was not listening and has not grasped .... Here is another (i.n.vester) guy who - to his credit - acknowledges that he doesnt know much, if anything, about the technology in statement 1. Then, in statement 2, he suggests that he knows more than an industry expert. (One who wrote intelligently and objectively.) Mind you, the industry expert is not a journalist. He studies the industry as a profession. This event has happened multiple times before on this thread. It always involves either a self-admitted know-nothing or an apparent know-nothing attacking the published opinion of an author who studies or works professionally in the industry. These crusty VLNC investors are just so much fun to kick. Is it greed that blinds them? Whatever it is, it is the worst of the human condition. Below is an invitation from the industry group for whom the author of add's article works. If the admitted know-nothings owning VLNC stock think the author is wrong, by all means, accept the invitation stated below to challenge the expert's statements. Otherwise, shut up. "We would like to hear your comments on the topics discussed in this column. Please email them to Linnea Brush at linnea@darnell.com We welcome the opportunity to publish opposing opinions.

Times may not be good in Japan, but Sony has had a profitable year. They are not hurting at all. I'm not sure about Sanyo. Many of the export oriented companies in Japan like Sony, Toyota,Honda are not hurting by the long recession in Japan. So, it will not prevent these companies from investing in profitable ventures. They do have the financing. manufacturing, and marketing clout. They question is can they produce a commercially viable battery. The same question is true for Valence. Until someone gets a contract, I'm still skeptical although I'm a speculator and am long on Valence. If fact all Valence investors are speculators since no one knows when Valence will get a contract. If Valence doesn't get a contract by June, I do believe they will be in much worse shape both financially, as well as competitively.
