A poison pill is designed to discourage a major acquisition of shares and a company's hostile takeover by an individual or entity. Once activated, the strategy allows shareholders, with the exception of the acquiring party, to buy additional shares of company stock at a highly discounted price in an effort to dilute its shares and limit the acquirer’s ability to gain control.
You can only short with a margin account.
Not to get too technical, but the idea of shorting is to sell stocks you don't have by borrowing them from someone else. This is why interest is charged.
In a cash account, you must pay for a security in full when you buy it...and thus before selling it. You can't borrow funds from your brokerage firm to pay for transactions in the cash account. If you intend to trade using borrowed funds, you must open a margin account to trade. You can't sell short with a cash account.
Others will need to speak to it.
I’m a momentum trader and only use my tools for these things.
GL brother
I did too! All longs hold!
Do you know much about poison pill defense to hostile takeover using diluted shares? Does the tactic include registered shares that are not yet sold?

Hog, I think your facetiousness was a little too much for the bashers to comprehend.
Try saying " FCEL is worth much more than $10 a share. The run up to $29 proved that. Jason Few cares about the company way more than a couple of bashers. And he will not let FCEL be bamboozled by Exxon."
"Exxon can’t even be bothered to renew fcel’s contract…and hasn’t for years…that should tell you what Exxon thinks about fcel…"
And that is why they are paying FCEL for Rotterdam?
I don't know whether to tremble or laugh 😂
"but at some point fcel will be good for trading again"
In case you haven't noticed FCEL has been traded for years. It is trading now.
"But the bottom line is that a stock that has run from 29 bucks to 76 cents over the last 4 yrs has proven itself,"
But you leave out the fact that this stock went from 0.13 cents to $29. Do some due diligence. How did it get to $29? And if you shorted it on the way down, kudos. All similar stocks went down with the Fed tightening of interest rates. And their graphs are almost identical.
Sorry you got burned by your fabulous trading skills, really.
But I'm pretty sure you aren't flush with cash from all your trading prowess just to spend your days idyllically posting negatively here and foregoing other of life's pleasures.
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a long time investor in any company utter these words…for ANY reason:
“ Thank goodness the board and Mr Few don't really care that much about the share price or retail investors.”
Unfreakinbelievable….lmao
“ Otherwise Exxon would have a great opportunity to try to buy fuelcell at 5 to $10 a share.”
Exxon could buy up fcel for a buck…but they don’t want it even at that bargain basement price…they already own what they need from fcel…and they paid way less than a penny per share for it…
Exxon can’t even be bothered to renew fcel’s contract…and hasn’t for years…that should tell you what Exxon thinks about fcel…
Thank goodness the board and Mr Few don't really care that much about the share price or retail investors. Otherwise Exxon would have a great opportunity to try to buy fuelcell at 5 to $10 a share. I'm looking for much much more than that. Tri Gen alone is worth more than that. Carbon capture alone is worth more than that. Current assets and remaining IP are worth more than that. We're going to get to $3 a share The fraction of the time it took to go from $2 to $0.75. In fact we'll probably get to $5 in a fraction of that time.
“Buying and holding is a defense against shorting.”
It’s a recipe for disaster…it’s the don quixote method of investing…keep jousting at wind mills pretending you are being heroic…smh
“When shorts are forced to cover their borrowed shares the price goes up.”
After 4 years, investors are still waiting for that to happen…lol….meanwhile Blackrock is dumping shares for huge loses…
“Big short squeeze coming”
Been hearing that since 15 bucks per share…that was hedgehogs favorite line years ago….but even he realizes that even if a squeeze happens now, it will too little, far too late…
“all your time on a board”
Takes me about a minute to read the handful of posts here and another minute to post…but you go ahead and exaggerate if it helps…lol
“you say is ill suited to investors? Smart.”
I trade it…not recently though since I have other stocks I trade as well…but at some point fcel will be good for trading again…
I have shorted this stock as well from time to time…but I don’t really short penny stocks…too expensive…
But the bottom line is that a stock that has run from 29 bucks to 76 cents over the last 4 yrs has proven itself, without a shadow of a doubt, to be ill suited for investors…there is simply no denying that…
Buying and holding is a defense against shorting. When shorts are forced to cover their borrowed shares the price goes up. Big short squeeze coming.
Hopey posts: "It takes discipline and respect for the market signals to profit from a purchase. That's basic among intelligent investors."
And how many shares do you own? So exactly how are you making a profit without a purchase? Smart
South Korea would benefit from using Tri-gen in their shipyards. Steel manufactures are so heavily energy intensive. No oil reserves in SK. I would believe they have biogas.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_South_Korea
Look at last paragraph before "History"
I'm extremely confident Toyota in fuel cell will announce something there working on together at some point this calendar year. But I'm more confident that we will announce something significant in South Korea this fiscal year

"...i dont think this needs to be explained further, but for the sake of clarity ill add that most investors want to make money, not lose it... "
And that is why you are spending all your time on a board for a company you say is ill suited to investors? Smart.
There seems to be a hint of further collaboration suggested between FCEL and Toyota. Biogas equals Trigen which equals Hydrogen, water, heat and decreased pollution. A win for everyone!
More links by Hogwash today. Exactly what has no effect. $.75 coming up.
Maybe a DEAD CAT BOUNCE before it.
GET Ready !
As the stock comes closer to my 1st target of $.75 the die hards are in their trying to support the stock thinking they have a bargain.
It's quite obvious they have not learned the from their mistakes.
This " thinking the stock is cheap" and therefore worthy of a purchase has been going on for 3 years. How many times have they thought the stock has reached a bottom and tried to catch the falling knife............ only to see it go lower. Then they'd do it again. SAME RESULT !
It takes discipline and respect for the market signals to profit from a purchase. That's basic among intelligent investors. The rest, lick their wounds while trying to explain what went wrong.
So here they are making rhe same mistake over and over again yelling each other that they repeated their mistakes.
I was able to get more yesterday at .81.
"Hence bigger stocks benefitting in the past few days"
im not really sure what you are talking about or why you bring it up as if it matters...the past few days??...fcel has been in a steady decline for the last 4 years...
"Shorts know this cycle"
again with the shorting excuse...theres no "cycle" to be concerned with...unless you want to claim that fcel is in a 4 year "cycle"...29 bucks to 78 cents didnt happen in the last few days...lol
"Where is the catastrophic news about FCEL that is driving the stock price down?"
bad news has been coming with every earnings for the last 4 years...you and the hog applaud every earnings report and the pps just keeps dropping...one would think you guys would get a clue but apparently not...there does not have to be anything catastrophic to cause the pps to drop...the idea that earnings might suck, institutional selling and the company diluting shares is enough...
believe it or not, many investors would rather not hold or buy into a stock where the earnings are likely to suck, the institutions are selling and the company is diluting...i dont think this needs to be explained further, but for the sake of clarity ill add that most investors want to make money, not lose it...
Few has done a horrible job...the company is bleeding cash and doesnt have much to show for it...it is completely mismanaged...it appears that Few didnt even start to dilute until the pps dropped under a dollar per share...Brilliant strategy or decision?...must be since you want to give him a standing ovation...
personally, i think a lot of his decisions are crap and hes done a really shitty job...29 bucks to 78 cents pretty much says it all...in the same time frame, the djia went from 30k to 40k...the nasdaq went from 13k to 16.5k...sp500 from 3800 to 5300...
cycle that...

1.8 Trillion vs 100 billion. Some big numbers but when spread over 20 or so years looks manageable. I forget, how many zeros in a trillion?
Depends on which broker the shares are borrowed from and a very good point. It costs shorts money to borrow shares from brokers. Plus the shares borrowed from the broker have to be given back. If the stock price goes up the short borrower can end up paying much more for the stock than the borrowing price. They can incur unlimited losses if done improperly.
Do you notice how bashers can't say that cash on hand dropped today because the stock is down 0.02 cents. Just like they can't say cash on hand increased today because the stock price is up 0.02 cents.
Or better yet they cannot say "Parts of the Torrington Facility actually vanished today because the stock price dropped but we expect it to reappear when the stock is up 0.02 cents on the next dead cat bounce along with hundreds of thousands in cash." They conflate different aspects of business to things not real.
Bashers love to conflate facts to spread fear. Stock price is not cash on hand, or buildings, or factories or workers. Stock is a representation of the value of the company to the holder. No two holders have the same perceived value for the same stock. Bashers however like to belittle your belief in your value assessment and bend it to theirs. And they offer no facts, no articles from reputable sources. They use fear. I am not afraid of the facts of FCEL. I will buy more as I can. I am still waiting for the promised $0.50 cents a share.
Yes, I saw that. Something undeniably very beneficial to the Industry needs to happen
Don’t the shorts have to borrow that money? I heard the interest rate is way over 25%…,
DOE advisory panel offers new "clean energy" and natural gas reports
A Department of Energy advisory committee said Tuesday that the nascent “clean” hydrogen industry is not growing fast enough to meet U.S. climate goals, a conclusion that Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm called “sobering.”
(Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and other officials outline takeaways on new “clean” hydrogen and natural gas reports.)
"The hydrogen industry needs additional federal support in order to reach levels required to achieve net-zero U.S. carbon emissions by 2050, according to the NPC hydrogen report."
"Emerging “green” hydrogen made from renewable-powered electricity needs $1.8 trillion in capital investment between now and 2050 to support the 2050 goal. “Blue” hydrogen made from fossil fuels and carbon capture needs $100 billion in investment to do the same."
"If there are significant policy advancements and a large build-out of infrastructure for emission-reductions projects such as carbon capture and storage, methane emissions from the natural gas supply chain could fall by an estimated 70 percent and CO2 emissions could decline by 33 percent through 2050, the report found."
https://www.eenews.net/articles/doe-advisory-panel-offers-sobering-view-on-hydrogen/
The DOW the NASDAQ and S&P, etc, the "market", a non human entity, is high on the prospect of easing monetary policy. Being forward looking, the "market" is factoring in easing interest rates that benefit big stocks. Hence bigger stocks benefitting in the past few days.
FCEL at the moment is a market contrarian stock. When the market gets excited, bigger stocks get more attention and small caps are set aside. When the "Market" pulls back, money is re-directed into safer small cap stocks. This drives up the price of the small cap. It is a cycle.
Shorts know this cycle and can capitalize on the swings.
More important. Where is the catastrophic news about FCEL that is driving the stock price down?
THERE IS NONE
Bashers will say the fundamentals have changed.
BULL
If you do the math FCEL would have to lose $67,650,000 in cash or factories ( real value)in 5 days (based on 0.15 cents loss/share since May 1st) Neither of which happened. No Fundamental change, no catastrophic news, no theft of over $67 million dollars of cash or buildings. Manipulation pure and simple.
The date of Blackrock reducing its number of shares is a normal readjustment that benefits companies if performed before the new year. Hence the date of change 12/31/23.
Massive shorting pure and simple.
68.7 million shares. Is it a washout before a bounce ? Or is more to come.
A bounce is deserved given the beating this stock has taken. But be sure' its a bounce only to the underside of $1.00.
There Instiutions will continue theire relenless selling and with no buying support, the stock will go lower.
All this while the permabull scratches his head looking for another excuse.
Institutions are finally getting the message.When Blackrock Sells can others be far behind.
PermaBulls can't understand it. They still insist the whole market is wrong. But while they desperately try to push the stock, any one with any investment understanding could have seen this coming. All signals were there.
At $.79 the stock is Oversold. But know this: a stock can become more oversold and extremely so.
It should bounce . But I can say with some degree of confidence that it ultimately will drop below $.75 and come close to $.50.
For 3 years you heard HOGWASH continue to push,push, push.
Neglecting to recognize the basic reasons a stock rises and falls and this is the payoff.. Look at the record. ABYSSMAL. Research should be thorough, objective and not biased and one sided. DD should be in depth.
Its an embarrassing record and the board deserves more. Apology is in order and and admission of the mistakes should be made.
His one follower needs has muchto learn.
Trying to figure out whatever crap I can. Apparently Black Rock dished 15% of their shares. Vanguard added almost 4%. Vanguard is over 42 million now. Black Rock is still over 35 million. Black Rock may actually be angling to average down by starting a selling frenzy.

And both companies having a spat over Hess Oil.
they are stuffing their pockets with billions and billions in profits and keep coming to the fed gov wondering how much their welfare checks will be this month...
smh
how about new multi year lows?....how do you feel about that?...especially when you keep buying shares that almost immediately lose value?..
lmao

"Added 200. Will be rewarded."
oops...you are already down on that buy...lol
you two guys are like a living breathing example of how NOT to invest....
"Yesterday Hogwash in a never ending effort to convince others and maybe himself that the stock is about to penetrate $1.00 now has to set his sites on keeping sbove $.75 or so."
i believe it was yesterday that hedgehog conjured up a support level of 84 cents....today it easily and quickly dropped right through that "support" as if it wasnt even there...
because it wasnt!...lmao
"Lets see if the 2 perma bulls put their money where thir mouth is and step up and BUY,BUY,BUY."
i think king said he bought 50 shares?...lol...now he has a grand total of like 500?...smh
ps...oh oh... looks like he just bought 200 more shares...watch out...it looks like he might bust open the piggy bank and spend $250 today...
"They have evolved tremendously over the past 6 plus years."
6 years ago, the pps was 22 bucks...now its 81 cents....but the company is so much better now?...you better hope the company doesnt keep getting better then...lol
how about this?....10 years ago the pps was equivilent to 400 bucks per share...
"The only significant partner they had with any significant revenue coming in was all coming from Posco until right about the time Few took over."
and then he sued them...
" Anybody bashing Jason few has no clue what he's done with the company."
hes taken the pps down to 81 cents...investors make or lose money based on what the pps is...smoke and miirrors doesnt raise the pps...neither does BS...
"First and foremost he immediately took to getting rid of all bad debt "
didnt he dilute the stock to pay off the debt...wonderful...but has it helped the pps?...no..
"and eliminating any unnecessary expenses."
really?...the biggest expense for any business is employee costs...Few went on a hiring spree and hired hundreds of employees who cost a fortune to keep...and i dont think anyone knows what half of them are doing...i have no doubt its like government workers...one guy digs a hole while 2 others stand around and watch and a fourth supervises...SMH
"Then he made the 5-year plan prioritizing what and how they were going to do to turn the company around."
and the result is 81 cents per share!...
"big money is manipulating many stocks including this one"
SMGDH
Short squeeze before earnings will surprise. Manipulation present to keep price in narrow range. Bought more. Every share not available to shorties causes price to rise more quickly during short squeeze. Buy and hold. Easy money.
Well here we are looking just above a $.75 cent stock which is where I placed it.
While the pusher Bulls desperately try to convince thenselves its of no concern, the stock erodes every day.
Excuses run rampant between the 2 perma Bulls and are links are posted non-stop to calm their nerves.
What's missing is the real reasons for the collapse.
Yesterday Hogwash in a never ending effort to convince others and maybe himself that the stock is about to penetrate $1.00 now has to set his sites on keeping sbove $.75 or so. .
The king of creative excuseds has fallen back on shorts and maipulation as his excuse. . Nothing can be further from the truth. Shorts could never be so successful unless there was insufficient buying support to prevent it. And as I so often said, Shorts are there for a good reason.
This stock has lost all support. The fundamental suggest it belongs where it is. It has negative valu so it may beoverpriced right here.
Lets see if the 2 perma bulls put their money where thir mouth is and step up and BUY,BUY,BUY. Getting Nervous are they?
The cash flows are the pivot point to the growth. Pretty soon it will be easier to play with billions. Five year cycle approaching. Watch out! We are only a few weeks from earnings. Short squeeze on its way.
Need the "exercise". Sometimes my eyes are so tired from lifting all those sentences!
Throw in a few acronyms and I am whooped!
FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) is an integrated fuel cell company that designs, manufactures, installs, operates and services stationary fuel cell power plants.
As a leading global fuel cell company, we provide ultra-clean, efficient and reliable baseload distributed generation for electric utilities, commercial and industrial companies, universities, municipalities, government entities and other customers around the world.
Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plants manufactured by FuelCell Energy can utilize a variety of fuels including renewable biogas from wastewater treatment and food processing, as well as clean natural gas, directed biogas and propane.
Our DFC power plants produce power electrochemically — without burning fuels — making them clean, quiet and environmentally responsible alternatives to combustion-based generation.
Our power plants have generated more than 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of ultra-clean electricity, equivalent to powering more than 135,000 average-size U.S. homes for one year.
FuelCell Energy’s world headquarters are located in Danbury, Connecticut, in the USA. Our global markets are served from a state-of-the-art production facility in nearby Torrington, Connecticut.
Our customers in Europe are served by German-based FuelCell Energy Solutions, GmbH, a majority owned joint venture with sales and service located in Dresden, Germany and manufacturing in Ottobrunn, Germany, which is near Munich.
Customers in Asia are served by our partner POSCO Energy from manufacturing facilities located in Pohang, South Korea.
FuelCell Energy offers a comprehensive portfolio of services for fuel cell power plants. Specially trained technicians and engineers remotely operate and maintain virtually our entire installed base of Direct FuelCell power plants globally, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year from the state-of-the-art Global Technical Assistance Center located at our Danbury, Connecticut headquarters. Field service technicians directly employed by FuelCell Energy service the power plants on-site.
FuelCell Energy scientists are actively researching unique applications for our versatile DFC technology including hydrogen generation and carbon capture. In addition, we are pursuing research with solid oxide fuel cells as well ashydrogen compression and storage.
FuelCell Energy’s international reputation for leadership in ultra-clean energy solutions has been built on a long history of innovative research and development that reflects the successes of our highly talented and creative workforce. We are the first fuel cell manufacturer to commercialize megawatt-class stationary fuel cell power plants and we believe that we are the first stationary fuel cell manufacturer to generate a quarterly gross profit.
FuelCell Energy traces its roots back to 1969 and the founding of Energy Research Corporation (ERC) by early fuel cell pioneers Bernard Baker and Martin Klein, both chemical engineers with expertise in advanced battery technologies.
In the 1970′s, with funding from the U.S. military and utility companies, the Company conducted extensive research into low-temperature fuel cells as well as silver-zinc battery cells. In the 1980′s and 1990′s the Company switched its focus to high-temperature carbonate fuel cell systems which offered greater commercial applications due to the ability to internally reform readily available fuels such as natural gas and renewable biogas within the fuel cell itself to provide the hydrogen for the power generation process.
Our first commercial power plant was installed in 2003 using a 250 kilowatt (kW) fuel cell stack. Through technology enhancements and cost reductions, we have increased the power output of the stacks by 40 percent to 350 kW and reduced product costs by more than 60 percent. Today we are installing multi-megawatt fuel cell plants and fuel cell parks globally.
The production facility in Torrington, Connecticut, USA was completed in 2001 and produced [2] megawatts (MW) of product the first year. As of the end of fiscal year 2012, the plant was producing at an annual run-rate of 56 MW. The total annual capacity of the facility is 90 MW.
FuelCell Energy began expanding globally in 2007 through its partnership with POSCO Energy , targeting markets in Southeast Asia, particularly South Korea. A European manufacturing, sales and service presence was established in 2012, with German-based FuelCell Energy Solutions, GmbH.
