cathie wood has been wrong quite a bit...her arkk fund has dropped from 100 to 38 since Jan...she keeps trying to buy stocks that drop only to have them drop much further...
but she was right when she said we are NOW in a recession...
it will get worse from here...
my guess is if you asked cathie wood about fcel, she would just laugh and shake her head and say "i may buy a lot of junk, but i aint buying that crap"...
And this is still in its infancy, for getting ready to snowball very quickly. How many are actually already investing in carbon capture opportunities? Then, how many are in the stages of investing preparing to make final decisions? How many are just beginning to consider it? And finally, how many have not considered it at all but will likely be within the next 6 to 12 months? The money is just starting to roll in in the words will begin being distributed this year. Starting with Rotterdam, final investment decision to be made any day but definitely by November. Tick tock!!
Opportunities are growing to develop & demonstrate next-generation technologies and bolster future deployment of carbon management solutions in power generation and industrial applications. Further advances in #CCUS will provide an important foundation to get to #netzero by 2050. https://t.co/xEk46lMI8z

More than 20 countries agree to boost low-emission hydrogen output by 2030
CONTRIBUTOR Yuka Obayashi Reuters
PUBLISHED SEP 26, 2022 04:41AM EDT
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/more-than-20-countries-agree-to-boost-low-emission-hydrogen-output-by-2030
TOKYO, Sept 26 (Reuters) - More than 20 countries, led by Japan, have agreed to boost output of low-emission hydrogen to at least 90 million tonnes a year by 2030 from 1 million tonnes now, the Japanese industry ministry said on Monday.
The agreement between countries including the United States, Australia and Germany came at the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting in Tokyo.
Many countries, including resource-poor Japan, are facing a historic energy security risk following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, with the threat of gas supply disruptions at a time when global supply is tight and spot prices are sky-high.
"We believe strategically increasing the sustainable production and use of low carbon and renewable hydrogen can contribute significantly to ensuring energy security, resilience and climate goals," Tokyo said, without giving details of how the output goal could be reached other than to note the need for more countries and regions to take concrete measures to increase sustainable hydrogen production.
Hydrogen is seen as the future green fuel of choice and key to decarbonising industries that rely on coal, gas and oil - such as steel and chemicals - in turn helping in the fight against global warming. It is also key to Japan's goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The global goal of producing 90 million tonnes of blue hydrogen - produced from natural gas but eliminating emissions by capturing and storing the emitted carbon - and green hydrogen - extracted from water using electrolysis powered by renewable energy - a year by 2030 is slightly below the 95 million tonnes that the International Energy Agency (IEA) says is required over the same time frame to help achieve its 2050 net zero scenario.
"Greater policy support is needed to drive new and cleaner uses of (hydrogen) in heavy industry and long-distance transport," the IEA said in a recent report.
Japan aims to boost its annual hydrogen supply, including imports, to 3 million tonnes by 2030 from about 2 million now.

I've been too patient, but if I cashed big bucks, I'd have to give away 30% for taxes and another 20% to my ex.
Thanks Hog... on it as usual..
Great reading list.
My son will benefit from the clean air and profits far more than I will..
Anytime anyone asks where to invest for the future, its Hydrogen and a few other possible veins of gold.
The algorithms are crushing the entire market... FCEL has taken it hard for 2 years. I was lucky in 2021.. I still believe.. Getting a second chance is a gift.
Learning to be patient
MISLEADING POST, INCOMPLETE INFORMATION...
Bulls have said nothing of the sort - this is B.S.
Happy reading

1.23pm and I have seven stocks in the green of over 100 in my watch list. I pay very little attention to them, other than usually just looking to see what's red and what's green, and if there's any significant movement I might look at news for that company. BLDP, Shake Shack, Microsoft, Walmart, Apple are the names in that small list. FCEL off by $.01 last look. Market seems to clearly see value in these names at these levels. Tick tock
Don't underestimate the economic impact this hurricaine will have on the market. It only adds to the pressure on stocks already being felt.
Off-shore rigs, shipment delays, store closures and project completions are just a few.
FCEL is no exception to the down draft in stocks.
It's in anemic support zone now that most likely will not hold.
Where is the Buying interest going to come from when quality names are getting battered? If investors do get long it'll be in the quality not in the speculative stocks.
Redemptions are coming in forcing institutions who hold speculative stocks to sell. FCEL itself is adding to the burden in its inexorable effort to sell shares into a weak market to raise needed cash.
Just based upon fundamental alone, a breakdown ro $3.00 and below is likely IMO. Technicals confirm it.
Bulls with blinders on will probably try to catch a low px thinking its the bottom. How many times has that failed to deliver as low after low followed.
Watch and see.
The BILL gives no clues or $ am't going to Hydrgen. Bulls have said 70% as the implied $ amount is earmarked for hydrogen. But the Bill says nothing of the sort. The fiction is created and an illusion.
FCEL will receive a trickle at some time in the distant future. Why this is even a subject of debate is ridiculous.
Reality check needed!
Even more ridiculous is this quote...
Although our volume is steadily a little bit higher than the two lowest volume days in recent history, and better than going lower in volume, in my opinion anyway, 10 million shares a day doesn't indicate any strength in the movement one way or the other. Still waiting for 15 plus million shares a day to give us the sign.
ANYONE? LOL The whole market has dismissed the effect the bill benefits Hydrogen and therefore FCEL, to the extent you outline.
The " other 70% " going to Hydrogen is ridiculous . That's what your earlier message implied. You quote : "Where do you think the other 70% is going"?
The $1.2+ trillion ( 30% + 70% combined) is a ficticious , never mentioned in the Bill. FCEL probably will get a trickle of the remaining am't whatevr that is. And the timeline of getting any of it is way out for years.
The market, and any serious minded investors knows this and is reflected in the ever dropping px of the stock.
The stock is going lower days,weeks . Bulls can't defend the indefensible much less the inevitable.
Watch for the stock to break the $3.50 support .
I guess I'm starting to see answers to the question I posed. I'm not hearing it or seeing it from anybody that i speak with or interact with in any way. And I go to several people's houses daily for roof estimates. The only reason I have any financial stress is because of my ex-wife and the market. Stress from the x goes away in May, I'm hoping and guessing the stress from the market goes away much sooner. Today's action is hopeful, let's see how we finish off the day and what happens tomorrow. If we can get any string of days in a row at all where we are green that will be a a start. I see some good posts on here, way to keep the news flowing. As we have seen repeatedly, the fed and the markets sometimes influence our share price but not every time. If we have enough good news we will go up regardless. Money is always looking for a place to go. National and international policy keep pointing in our direction. That should continue which means nothing can stop us. Tick tock!! September 26, fingers crossed.
Lights out, ovens off: Europe preps for winter energy crisis
by: DAVID McHUGH, JUSTIN SPIKE, KAREL JANICEK and VESELIN TOSHKOV, Associated Press
Posted: Sep 26, 2022
https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-lights-out-ovens-off-europe-preps-for-winter-energy-crisis/
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — As Europe heads into winter in the throes of an energy crisis, offices are getting chillier. Statues and historic buildings are going dark. Bakers who can’t afford to heat their ovens are talking about giving up, while fruit and vegetable growers face letting greenhouses stand idle.
In poorer eastern Europe, people are stocking up on firewood, while in wealthier Germany, the wait for an energy-saving heat pump can take half a year. And businesses don’t know how much more they can cut back.
“We can’t turn off the lights and make our guests sit in the dark,” said Richard Kovacs, business development manager for Hungarian burger chain Zing Burger. The restaurants already run the grills no more than necessary and use motion detectors to turn off lights in storage, with some stores facing a 750% increase in electricity bills since the beginning of the year.
With costs high and energy supplies tight, Europe is rolling out relief programs and plans to shake up electricity and natural gas markets as it prepares for rising energy use this winter. The question is whether it will be enough to avoid government-imposed rationing and rolling blackouts after Russia cut back natural gas needed to heat homes, run factories and generate electricity to a tenth of what it was before invading Ukraine.
Europe’s dependence on Russian energy has turned the war into an energy and economic crisis, with prices rising to record highs in recent months and fluctuating wildly.
In response, governments have worked hard to find new supplies and conserve energy, with gas storage facilities now 86% full ahead of the winter heating season — beating the goal of 80% by November. They have committed to lower gas use by 15%, meaning the Eiffel Tower will plunge into darkness over an hour earlier than normal while shops and buildings shut off lights at night or lower thermostats.
Europe’s ability to get through the winter may ultimately depend on how cold it is and what happens in China. Shutdowns aimed at halting the spread of COVID-19 have idled large parts of China’s economy and meant less competition for scarce energy supplies.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this month that early preparations mean Europe’s biggest economy is “now in a position in which we can go bravely and courageously into this winter, in which our country will withstand this.”
“No one could have said that three, four, five months ago, or at the beginning of this year,” he added.
Even if there is gas this winter, high prices already are pushing people and businesses to use less and forcing some energy-intensive factories like glassmakers to close.
It’s a decision also facing fruit and vegetable growers in the Netherlands who are key to Europe’s winter food supply: shutter greenhouses or take a loss after costs skyrocketed for gas heating and electric light.
Bosch Growers, which grows green peppers and blackberries, has put up extra insulation, idled one greenhouse and experimented with lower temperatures. The cost? Smaller yields, blackberries taking longer to ripen, and potentially operating in the red to maintain customer relationships even at lower volumes.
“We want to stay on the market, not to ruin the reputation that we have developed over the years,” said Wouter van den Bosch, the sixth generation of his family to help run the business. “We are in survival mode.”
Kovacs, grower van den Bosch and bakers like Andreas Schmitt in Frankfurt, Germany, are facing the hard reality that conservation only goes so far.
Schmitt is heating fewer ovens at his 25 Cafe Ernst bakeries, running them longer to spare startup energy, narrowing his pastry selection to ensure ovens run full, and storing less dough to cut refrigeration costs. That might save 5-10% off an energy bill that is set to rise from 300,000 euros per year, to 1.1 million next year.
“It’s not going to shift the world,” he said. The bulk of his costs is “the energy required to get dough to bread, and that is a given quantity of energy.”
Schmitt, head of the local bakers’ guild, said some small bakeries are contemplating giving up. Government help will be key in the short term, he said, while a longer-term solution involves reforming energy markets themselves.
Europe is targeting both, though the spending required may be unsustainable. Nations have allocated 500 billion euros to ease high utility bills since September 2021, according to an analysis from the Bruegel think tank in Brussels, and they are bailing out utilities that can’t afford to buy gas to fulfill their contracts.
Governments have lined up additional gas supply from pipelines running to Norway and Azerbaijan and ramped up their purchase of expensive liquefied natural gas that comes by ship, largely from the U.S.
At the same time, the EU is weighing drastic interventions like taxing energy companies’ windfall profits and revamping electricity markets so natural gas costs play less of a role in determining power prices.
But as countries scramble to replace Russian fossil fuels and even reactivate polluting coal-fired power plants, environmentalists and the EU itself say renewables are the way out long term.
Neighbors in Madrid looking to cut electricity costs and aid the energy transition installed solar panels this month to supply their housing development after years of work.
“I have suddenly reduced my gas consumption by 40%, with very little use of three radiators strategically placed in the house,” neighbor Manuel Ruiz said.
Governments have dismissed Russia as an energy supplier but President Vladimir Putin still has leverage, analysts say. Some Russian gas is still flowing and a hard winter could undermine public support for Ukraine in some countries. There have already been protests in places like Czechia and Belgium.
“The market is very tight and every molecule counts,” said Agata Loskot-Strachota, senior fellow for energy policy at the Center for Eastern Studies in Warsaw. “This is the leverage that Putin still has — that Europe would have to face disappointed or impoverished societies.”
In Bulgaria, the poorest of the EU’s 27 members, surging energy costs are forcing families to cut extra spending ahead of winter to ensure there is enough money to buy food and medicine.
More than a quarter of Bulgaria’s 7 million people can’t afford to heat their home, according to EU statistics office Eurostat, the highest in the 27-nation bloc due to poorly insulated buildings and low incomes. Nearly half of households use firewood in winter as the cheapest and most accessible fuel, but rising demand and galloping inflation have driven prices above last year’s levels.
In the capital, Sofia, where almost half a million households have heating provided by central plants, many sought other options after a 40% price increase was announced.
Grigor Iliev, a 68-year-old retired bookkeeper, and his wife decided to cancel their central heating and buy a combined air conditioner-heating unit for their two-room apartment.
“It’s a costly device, but in the long run, we will recoup our investment,” he said.
Meanwhile, businesses are trying to stay afloat without alienating customers. Klara Aurell, owner of two Prague restaurants, said she’s done all she can to conserve energy.
“We use LED bulbs, we turn the lights off during the day, the heating is only when it gets really cold and we use it only in a limited way,” she said. “We also take measures to save water and use energy-efficient equipment. We can hardly do anything else. The only thing to remain is to increase prices. That’s how it is.”
The gourmet Babushka Artisanal Bakery in an affluent district of Budapest has had to raise prices by 10%. The bakery used less air conditioning despite Hungary’s hottest summer on record and is ensuring the ovens don’t run without bread inside.
While it has enough traffic to stay open for now, further jumps in energy costs could threaten its viability, owner Eszter Roboz said.
“A twofold increase in energy costs still fits into the operation of our business and into our calculations,” she said. “But in the case of a three- to fourfold increase, we will really need to think about whether we can continue this.”
Anyone who follows this absurd discussion back will find that this is gibberish.
Your response doesn't touch upon the time it will take for hydrogen to be a factor in competing with solar and nuclear transport and storage .
It says, " can" replace" ( not that it will) . Furthermore the time line for any "proof" that it can economically or is effectively better, is missing in the response.
Solar is here NOW. Hydrogen is work in progress; yet to be proven and years away.
Your response is omitting the facts!
The Schumer/Manchin Bill, now law, earmarks $ 370 mil for Solar and Wind. .... Nothing mentioned for the $$$$$ allocated for Hydrogen and no mention FCEL will be allocated ONE DOLLAR. Your earlier response says the $370 million represents 30% of the total. That means the grand total is $1.23 billion. ( 70%) . That's Fiction! No such am't is ever mentioned or in the bill.
FCEL is never mentioned and the number $1.23 billion is FALSE!
You've missed the point -
You said "It should be all about solar, nuclear, and batteries…and that’s where ALL the r/d money should be going…trying to develop alternatives to lithium etc…it can be done…"
Hydrogen can replace the batteries as storage and transport for solar and nuclear.
The following is from the World Nuclear Association:
"Your post is all personal opinion"
and true...
Your post is all personal opinion..
Your response us 100% B.S.
Anyone who reads the links I cited can confirm the facts in my post.
“I don't think it will be a minor consideration in upgrading energy networks.”
As it stands, probably true…but it shouldn’t be…it SHOULD be only a minor consideration…
If it wasn’t for the fact that munchkin found kindred spirits in big oil and held the BBB hostage, I doubt many would give a crap about hydrogen…it would exist and would be used but not to the extent that big oil is pushing it now…
It should be all about solar, nuclear, and batteries…and that’s where ALL the r/d money should be going…trying to develop alternatives to lithium etc…it can be done…
And if advancements ARE made in solar, battery and nuclear, then everyone will start to realize just how stupid it is to put all the bad byproducts of natural gas into big holes in the ground….I can’t imagine why anyone with common sense does already see the utter foolishness of that, right now…
No; It's common sense and accurate.
Your response has no basis in fact!
Your post is purely subjective opinion.
Hydrogen can both produce and store energy. I don't think it will be a minor consideration in upgrading energy networks.
"113/370=30 so what about the other 70%???"
from reading articles i have seen, it appears the other 70% is going to be cut up into about 100 pieces...and each of those pieces will get money depending on who they are, what they do, how they do it, what percentage of results they achieve, and only if it all falls on a tue or thu at the beginning of a month starting with a "J"...and it will take many years for that money to get spent...which means that that pot of money will be dwindling away, going to other things that have nothing to do with green energy...and the big oil companies will be getting their hands on about 65% of that 70% and they wont be sharing with anyone...
batteries is where its at...they are starting to come up with new tech that will make the batteries smaller, more efficient, less costly, and can be fully charged in 10 min...
hydrogen may have a place in industrial uses...manufacturing and the like...but then again, it may not even prove very useful there either...
big oil wants hydrogen because they can control it like a commodity...just like they did oil...raise and lower prices whenever they feel like it...prices will rise quickly and drop very slowly...if at all...
big oil doesnt want solar, wind or batteries...they cant control that like they can hydrogen...
big oil doesnt want hydrogen because its good or better for everyone...they want it so they can maintain the control they have always had...it is good for them...even if hydrogen was horrible for the environment and people, they would fight to keep it...
they will use 21st century tech to extract all the bad stuff from coal and natural gas and dispose of it all utilizing tech from 1910 and put it into big holes in the ground...and hope it all stays there...
and all big oil wants is about a trillion dollars from taxpayers to do it...
Transition to Hydrogen is Inevitable!
The Department of Energy wants to produce 10 million metric tons of “clean” hydrogen by 2030, according to a draft National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap released yesterday.
About 10 million metric tons of hydrogen is already produced in the US each year, but that’s mostly “gray” hydrogen made with dirty natural gas.
Woohoo! Hydrogen is the New Gas

Huge win for Hydrogen in Energy Bill. Manchin is The Man.
As I have said before, end of September will be passage of the significant H2 legislation. Biden, Schumer, Pelosi all want it. That means that Ds will fall in line. Rs are pretending not to like it but they will love it and vote for it.
If you search the text, there is no mention of solar or wind. There are only two references to hydrogen. But that is the beauty and genius of this bill.
The bill is written to expedite decisions and permitting for the electrical grid and also for Natural Gas pipelines. How does H2 win? Very simply and totally. The definition of Natural Gas will now be changed to include Hydrogen as one type of Natural Gas! This means that all of the issues, questions, indecision and delays regarding regulation and permitting of H2 will now be resolved, because they will all be treated exactly the same was as the now expedited rules pertaining to Natural Gas.
This huge win for H2 has so far gone unrecognized. Here is the text which appears on page 86. It is a simple change but it is huge H2 win.

The US wants to become a hydrogen production powerhouse
Justine Calma - Yesterday 5:07 PM
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/the-us-wants-to-become-a-hydrogen-production-powerhouse/ar-AA12auTQ
Ramping up production of hydrogen fuel is now a high priority for the Biden administration as it tries to put an end to the fossil fuel pollution causing climate change. The Department of Energy wants to produce 10 million metric tons of “clean” hydrogen by 2030, according to a draft National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap released yesterday.
About 10 million metric tons of hydrogen is already produced in the US each year, but that’s mostly “gray” hydrogen made with dirty natural gas. The shift would be to pair that natural gas with controversial technologies that capture carbon dioxide emissions as well as make more hydrogen using renewable energy sources and nuclear energy.
“A high priority technology for this administration”
Clean hydrogen is “a high priority technology for this administration,” Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk said in a press briefing yesterday. “I will say one word about why that is, and that is versatility.”
Hydrogen is seen as an alternative fuel to fossil fuels. It might be a cleaner fuel for planes or ships, for instance. There’s also hope that using hydrogen as fuel could potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes that need to reach extremely high temperatures, something that’s harder for renewables like wind and solar to accomplish. When hydrogen is made with excess wind and solar energy, it also serves as a kind of “energy storage,” similar to a battery, so that abundant renewable power doesn’t go to waste when electricity demand is low.
Hydrogen releases water vapor when burned, which is why it’s being sold as a clean fuel. The big caveat is that hydrogen is essentially only as clean as the energy source used to produce it. One way to make hydrogen is through electrolysis, which uses electricity to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. “Green” hydrogen can be made by splitting water molecules using renewable energy. There’s also “pink” hydrogen, made through electrolysis powered by nuclear energy.
But the majority of hydrogen produced today is “gray” and greenhouse gas-emitting. To make gray hydrogen, methane gas reacts with high-temperature steam under high pressure in a process that releases carbon dioxide while making the hydrogen. Now, the Biden administration wants to rely on technologies that scrub CO2 out of smokestack emissions to try to make that gray hydrogen clean.
That’s a contentious proposition since critics argue it would prolong, rather than phase out, the reign of fossil fuels. And capturing CO2 doesn’t deal with methane leaks, which are a huge problem for natural gas infrastructure. There are also worries that a new hydrogen industry could create its own problems. Citing safety concerns about leaks from hydrogen pipelines and storage facilities, several environmental groups sent a letter to US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm earlier this week that urged the Department of Energy to drop hydrogen projects from the Biden administration’s environmental justice initiatives.
Critics argue it would prolong, rather than phase out, the reign of fossil fuels
Nevertheless, the Biden administration looks poised to push forward with its hydrogen ambitions. The roadmap issued yesterday includes clean hydrogen production goals that grow with time: 20 million metric tons of clean hydrogen by 2040 and 50 million metric tons by 2050. The Department of Energy thinks that could ultimately reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent by 2050. The roadmap, however, is still a draft, and the DOE says it’s soliciting feedback before finalizing the strategy.
The Biden administration has already set in motion plans to develop up to 10 regional hubs for hydrogen production across the US. At least one of the hubs should use renewable energy to make hydrogen fuel, the DOE says, and another hub is supposed to harness nuclear energy. But the DOE is also looking for at least two hubs in regions with “abundant natural gas resources.” Yesterday, the DOE opened up $7 billion in funding opportunities to develop those hubs, which the agency says will be “one of the largest investments in DOE history.”
Bollinger Bands
This chart shows the stock broke below the lower Bollinger Band. That signals more px drops coming.
Its below all moving averages and while Oversold it can get even moreOversold before the next DEAD CAT BOUNCE.
There is no Buying Support for the stock as Sellers continue to overwhelm any effor to stabalize the fall.
Eventually this stock will rest well under $3.00.
Given the state of the market and the lack of any reason to own speculative penny stocks, The BULLS should be dancing to a different tune if reality sets in.

Quote " Blackrock and Vanguard have their own analysts..... they're not dummies."
And those same analysts handed their investors a whopping loss with their " accumulation" of FCEL down to $3.50 now. Brilliant!
So now, with FCEL dumping shares those same "BIG BOYS" are facing even greater losses as a result of forced sales due to redemptions.
Bulls better believe that's exactly what's occuring. FORCED SALES DUE TO REDEMPTIONS
It'll show up in the next institutional report. WATCH AND SEE.
Everyone was expecting .75 this time…and they got it…it wasn’t the increase that caused the drop…it was what Powell stated…
People were hoping that the rates would rise and then they would be cut…they were hoping for no recession or a short one…Powell took a sledge hammer and beat those hopes to death…
The market has been propped up for far too long…it won’t be anymore…it may bounce a bit off the June lows…but then it will head down past those lows…way past…many are starting to understand that a recession is here and will not be short and will be fairly severe…and it will be worldwide…earnings of companies will drop…some will drop like a rock…
I don’t see penny stocks like fcel, that can’t seem to get out of their own way, faring very well…I also see many big projects being postponed or cancelled…no matter how important they seemed when they were made…
If fcel’s revenues slow down and that is expected to last a while, will they be willing to risk tens of millions of dollars to get involved in big projects that are a big “maybe”?….assuming those big projects would still exist…
Time to come grips with reality…
Right now everyone is expecting another .75. Lets see what happens. :)
" they will so afraid of the coming recession"
they KNOW a recession is coming...they EXPECT the recession....they WANT a recession...thats the PAIN...there will be job losses...they know that...thats the PAIN...housing market / prices will drop because interest rates are rising...they KNOW that...they are preparing everyone for the pain that they KNOW is coming because THEY are BRINGING it...
these things should not be blindsiding anyone...no one should be waiting to see what comes next...they are TELLING everyone what is coming next...they are MAKING IT HAPPEN...
rates are going to continue to rise and when they decide to pause, they will remain high for some time...
the time has come to pay the piper for all that quantitative easing, buying up long term bonds, lowering the interest rate to near zero and all the other stuff the gov did to support and stimulate the economy and stock market...
all that is over....its been 14 yrs of politicians buying votes with monetary policy...its over now...here comes the pain...
I expect that by the time they make their next appearance they will so afraid of the coming recession that they change their minds again. You can remind me of this if it doesn't happen.
All they were trying to do was cover their buts and I don't see that changing. Time will tell.
False- Now is not the perfect time to buy. Just like it wasn't at $22- $15- $12, and lower.
They all were " perfect times to BUY " and anyone who listened to that advice is sitting with deep losses.
The "perfect time to Buy " is when the market signals it is, and indicators improve.
The " perfect time to BUY" is when fundamentals begin to show improvement.
No respect for technicals or fundamentals has led to the losses the BULLS have sustained.
The Bulls now have few recourses to talk about. They'll rewash old news articles, talk about Oct, Nov and Dec....after failed wishes for big gains and news in May, June, July , Aug and Sept did not materialize.
Nothing but nothing in 14 months of their predictions have come to pass. With that kind of a record and the collapse of the the sh/px whose to put any faith in their assertions.
Try catching the bottom ! That resulted in poor judgment!
Buying a bounce in a downtrend! That costs shareholders 8 times.
Listening to bad advice did them in completely.
"The Fed has changed their story almost every time they talk."
thats because they were trying to appease everyone...trying not to make things look as bad as they were...calling everything transitory...not as bad as it looked...
they kept saying they were going to wait for the numbers to come out and dip thier toes into interest rate hikes...
but now they've seen the numbers...they know that a couple of moderate hikes aint cutting it...they know the transitory bs they had hoped for was in fact, nothing but hope and a pipe dream....
they have seen the reality of the economic situation and their statement to everyone is that "THERE WILL BE PAIN"...
originally, the Fed was trying to be nice and optimistic...now they are point blank telling you that they are going to pour alcohol on that open wound...
but naw...maybe they are not serious?????
I think it would qualify as a miracle if we close over yesterdays close but I hope you are right about 3.25.
No and if they did know for a fact I don't think they'd be wasting their time on the message boards they'd already be extremely wealthy retired and managing their money 15 minutes a day. But there is plenty of logic for some people speculation. For example looking at the chart with the overall market and economy and macroeconomics involved, if fuel cell energy were closed over $3.61 that would be moderately bullish short-term. If we happen to be lucky enough to close over yesterday's clothes that would be extremely bullish short-term. I will gladly pound the table all day putting myself out there with my specific opinion without being avoidant vague or general as everyone knows. I firmly believe $3.25 is the floor which I don't believe we will ever get to. We will need some positive news at some point by the beginning of next month where I may end up changing my opinion. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but even if I am this is going to take off in a big way as soon as they start coming out with good news.
The truth is no one really knows.
The Fed has changed their story almost every time they talk.
For those of us that are in, and all in like I am, we just wait for those that dipped in recently or since declining now is the perfect time to buy. In fact if I had a little cash sitting around I would buy more now. That CNBC guest I referred to several times now seem to have a pretty good take that I currently agree with. People are going to want this thing to bottom quickly and if we happen to shoot right past those numbers then there may be concern but for those trying to time a bottom, one would have to be extremely lucky and can't really do much better than right here. In my opinion anything under $5 will be rewarded nicely this year. Unless of course you're correct and the market is in a tailspin out of control and we get no positive news. Just don't see that happening

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.
