Mike, Good to see you here. Saw an interview with new Ford CEO (Jac Nasser?) last week that asked him about buying nearly every major troubled company (Volvo, Nissan) but Ballard. Naturally he disavowed everything, but implied that the major car companies are talking all the time, because so few are genuinely profitable, due to overcapacity. I would be delighted to see Ballard purchased, as my shares are slightly underwater at this time. But they have such good working partnerships now, with Ford, with DaimlerChrysler etc, unless they were were ready to hit the ground with a ready-to-go profitable fuel cell car now and wanted to tie up the patents, I don't know what they would gain by spending the money here.

Mike It appears to me that Ballard will slowly inch downward until one of their famous announcements. One of the objectives for 1998 was for Ballard to form some type of alliance with a company to market portable fuel cells. This, to the best of my knowledge has not yet been accomplished. If they can carry this out, then look out. The market for this type of fuel cell is absolutely incredible. If they can get an announcement like this, then the stock is going to take off again. Bob
