I keep hearing something about next stop $0.50. Sing song cicadas, monotonous.
What more needs to be said. The market said it all.

The risk is all yours. You're Buying; you're Holding; You're in the hole.
Shorts are makng the money.
Where's FEW in this massacre.
Plug Up; Bloom Up; and FCEL makes a new 52 week low.
36.6 million shares heading for close to 50 million.
Market akers trying desparately to maintain an orderly market in the stock but the sellng is relentless.
Something is very wrong and whatever it is, will come out . this unabated selling is
indicative of some bad news .
Where's FEW hiding/ What excuse will we hear from the diehards? Where's the DD to explain this?
This is a whole new meaning to being on a short leash.
I saw your post earlier this week regarding AI. It is a good question. If I may comment.
If the way that AI writes its own news is an indication of its success, I am not impressed. I do believe that with regard to marketing it poses a risk by collection of personal data. I am sure that in brokerages the speedy processing of information offers a benefit.
I think short selling is becoming pretty risky with FCEL. Close to earnings, likely to beat expectations. Will see after lunch whether shorties have any more risk taking left in their tank. Haha bring it on!

Ballard keep going up in pennies while FCE is taking a breather.
I received an e-mail from FCEL wanting to know if I am interested in fuel cell technology for my small business. I am responding to see if they would be interested in putting in a sales pitch to our local government for a biogas project.
0.95 gets us closer to 50 day moving average.
Ya my hybrid battery 10 yr warranty expires after this year. Lucky there are no signs it is failing. Wait till all that lithium gets into the water.
Time to get excited when this closes over $.95! Until then I just patiently wait.
Very interesting article about Honda and E-waste

I apologize. I do some devil's advocacy at times to parse out who is who and who is BS. That may be unclear when posting.
who can fathom it? I try not to waste time wondering why.
I do.
I also know who is full of it. You are not, I repeat, not in that camp. No one who is just fooling around would be as prolific for the amount of time that you have been posting here and other boards. No one fooling around would be so thorough. I sometimes swat at the windmills as one post suggested. I am confident we all have. I imagine you have too. But that is how we learn.
There are also times when I post and realize my meaning didn't come across like I had planned. Or I read other peoples posts and wonder if their meaning is clear. Its the nature of communicating with one of the most deficient means of communicating there is. Texting gives no visual clues, no tone of voice clues, no body language clues, and it takes a lot of time to clarify messages if the message isn't clear.
My message is clear. I am all in. And yes there are some true characters here, mosquitos.
The volume of the unabated drop is w/o a doubt institutional selling. The remainder is some retail buying believing the px is low enough to avg down their losses. The supporters are so little in number they have little effect in slowing the decline.
What the Bulls will say is it's all manipulation and shorting. This has been their reasoning for 3 years beginning when the stock hit its high of $29.30. They gave no credence to the factual reasons which are fundamentals , technicals and professional research. They closed their eyes to any information which was at odds with their misguided thinking.
MANIPULATION- Ask yourself this; Can a stocks unabated decline with fundamentals to support it, be so manipulated without preventing it by buyers to prevent it........... for 3 years.
Shorts- The success of shorts can only be where there are reasons for its non-stop shorting. There have been no fundamentals to prevent the shorts from being right for all of 3 years.
Again, the Bulls put a blind eye to any sound reasoning and find factless excuses for the decline.
FEW allowed this to happen. He has given no reason for investors to believe it will not continue. No NEWS, no substantive announcement, no confidence to investors. As the CEO, and since his tenure, the company continued to show poor results. Nothing is expected to change for at least 5 more years. But the millions in pay goes on.
King James 1 do you get what Hoghead7 is trying to tell you? You posted a link from Seeking Alpha regarding shorting. It appears you didn't take some of what was noted there to heart. The posts here are all from people you do not know, including me, so all you can do is judge them by what they present here. If you review the nature of what is contained in your posts after you respond to certain posters here you will possibly see what I am getting at. There are people who post information that you appear to deem of great benefit....have you noticed they don't respond to who you do?
Retail are buying but that's small, like hundreds of thousands or a couple million at most. These are all shorts trading with each other trying to lower the bid.
Some constantly claim negativity regarding the company and the stock and never claim to buy, ever
I hope you know some characters on the boards are just that
Wait, Should I hold this shit ton of cheap shares I have just acquired?
I only hold certain things these days, silver, bullets, and anti bank ETFs

Now that's what I'm talking about!
Good advice about patience. And waiting for the bottom. I am not always very patient and I am not good looking at charts. I understand what you are saying.
To me, without some formula to predict a bottom, unless the bottom is in sight, ie, zero, I think that the odds of the bottom being near (or bankruptcy) have to be pretty high as the price nears zero. In the case of FCEL, I don't see any signs of bankruptcy so being near the bottom makes more sense. Therefore I buy. I admit there is no sophistication here.
With regard to doubling, I am doing the easy math by accepting $1.57 as "analysts" predict as a near future price and seeing 0.74 doubled meets that prediction more or less.
I appreciate the advice.
"Allows me to buy in with a near term upside potential double."
im not sure why you think theres a near term double...many thought there was a near term double at $15 and $12 and $10 etc...recently many have thought there was a near term double since $1.25...hasnt happened...just because a stock has dropped down low doesnt mean it wont go lower...and it doesnt mean it will double either...
what i have suggested 100 times, is why not wait for the trend to reverse?...if one doesnt care to day trade, then just wait for the bottom to hit, let it reverse and then buy when the stock is truly on an uptrend?...you wont be able to say you bought at the bottom...you might even miss a doubling of the pps...but if you buy at a buck and the stock goes to ten as some are suggesting could happen, whats so wrong with that?...is making 6-10 times your money not good enough?...seems like plenty to me...and you reduce your risk immensely...
thats what im waiting for...if fcel never comes back, no problem for me...i dont own any shares...but if it (and likely the whole industry) comes back, then i will buy and ride it up...but i have no desire to buy until i actually see a reson to...beside hope...i dont buy on hope...
again, as i have said a thousand times...it takes a lot of patience to trade or invest in the stock market....but patience should be exercised BEFORE you buy...not after...
Thanks Hawks ! You too were right on this pos and the Hog that crapped out. You saw it coming and exposed the BS for what it is.
Igotmo had it pegged too.
As usual the only one with brains and knowledge in this group is the Hopestud!!! Great job predicting again the demise of this pathetic money bleeding POS. Fundamentals always come before useless links to things that have no bearing on this company provided by the paid promoter Hogwash.
Closed at $.76. Hit $73 intraday. My 1st tgt now complete.
Do I hear $.50.
Can you imagine a stock being overvalued at $.50 ? Peter Lynch thinks so.
The 3 that added yesterday are now further in the hole.
Wonder if they bought more today.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "Gluten for punishment",
Hey Hog- Find a few links totry and prop this up.
I know you haven’t thought of this scenario. But. In the past year, hedge funds have put AI to work and AI results have been dramatic. More and more entities are steering their boats into AI waters.
Well, I have to agree there is a lot not to like. No one here likes to lose money. The dilution is scary, as is the share price and threat of delisting to name a few. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy Chipotle at $600/share.
I do see a lot to like however. The price for one. Allows me to buy in with a near term upside potential double. Analysts are seeing near term $1.57 in their calculations. So to me 0.74 is a gift. Several analysts talk of an earnings surprise this quarter. I believe that because we have revenue to record from the previous quarter that didn't make it in last quarter's report.
CCS and H2 is not a fad. It is super real and here to stay.
Although high school kids experiment with H2 production in labs all the time, FCEL is pulling together all the practical aspects of scaling up to massive production without going bankrupt. Not an easy feat for any small cap company.
My eyes at times will not even focus from trying to keep up with all the reading. Hell I am at least 600 pages of current reading behind. But what I do see here, on this board, is there are enough people who believe in FCEL who keep feeding the info so I am relieved of having to search for it all by myself. Yes, I have been up the hill to $29 and back down again to 0.74. Its spooky. But many of the same longs are still here from $0.13 cents before the run who are ready to do it again. This time it may be a little slower rise but a more permanent high. Good luck to you, sincerely.
Haha if I could explain it I would. Thank you for your thoughts. I plan on buying, each day, if cheaper than the day before, until earnings.
Without reading your post Max I just posted another long winded one. There's not one individual with a brain that's done any diligence that believe the share price is fair at this point. This is clearly manipulation and when this runs it's going to run stronger than usual, Although I'm not sure if it's going to run as strong as it did when it went to $29 in less than 3 months, I do believe we'll get That type of run in the next 6 to 12 months.
Well we've learned yet more this week. For one, We know the company has the ability to sell shares to raise money, up to 500 million shares. For two, Few He's smarter than any characters on these message boards I'm including myself in that. 3rd, They may have sold shares but there's no way they sold more than 100 million shares. A little elaboration on that. We know now for sure there's plenty of short activity going on. Volume was averaging between 10 and 14 million shares a day on typical days. We've now traded far greater than 350 million shares the past seven trading days. The company has had nothing but good news and oh by the way, quarterly earnings come out for Q2 in approximately 4 weeks. So I got to thinking today I'm supposed to be getting a nice commission this week. Wouldn't I just love to get shares for $0.75. I mean knowing what I know about the company there's no way I'm not going to get a 10 bagger If not and the next 6 months then certainly within the next couple years at the very latest. If Q2 and Q3 earnings are anything like what I expect we don't even need news to go up 200%. Then I got to thinking how I'm salivating over potentially picking up 2000 to $4,000 of shares at this price. Then I was like holy crap. Now I can see why the shorts battle so hard to manipulate the share price as low as possible. There's companies being shorted that are priced at multiples above with their valuation should be. There are companies potentially headed towards bankruptcy in the near term or short term which are being shorted. Then there's other reasons to short company, like for potential hostile takeover, or Just buy shares at a ridiculously low price. A million dollars buys a whole hell of a lot more shares at $0.75 than it does at $2. And anybody with that kind of money isn't stupid enough to think they can run this company into the ground. They're doing it simply to load up on shares. What does that translate to. Well, If you're thinking when I'm thinking now, That translates to the fact that when these people millionaire traders decide it's time to buy and run this thing, We go beyond $29 very quickly because they now know just like we do what the company has.
Nah, I don't believe that's what is happening here. Major short selling appears to be what is driving the share price down as the price to book value for FCEL is $1.48 or more. Retail investors own over 51% of the shares currently and as you said someone is buying. I don't see any indication that a "poison pill" is activated. Not knowing FCE's participation in any of this makes it difficult to even make an educated guess.
I was hoping you could tell me what's going on!
i have made money with stocks that i knew were pure scams...but im not going to champion those stocks simply because i made money with them or had money invested in them...
i have made good money with fcel....but when a stock goes from 29 bucks to 73 cents and continues to perform poorly, im not gonna pretend its all good...CLEARLY something is wrong...
"Why then do you seem so negative toward it?"
losing lots of money, diluting, institutionals selling, dropping way under a buck risking delisting, looking like a r/s may be next...what is there to be positive about?...
i will admit i dont read hardly any of the links to anything that are being put out since none of them have made any difference at all...i keep hearing there are so many wonderful things happening yet, i look at the pps and its hitting new multi year lows daily...so......something aint right...
you will find those traders who look for stocks that are hitting or nearing rock bottom and they buy and wait for a dead cat bounce...but thats not what i do...
You seem to have done well with FCEL , going up and down. Why then do you seem so negative toward it?
"In case you haven't noticed FCEL has been traded for years. It is trading now."
apparently you are new to investing and dont understand the vernacular...i dont have the time to teach you...
"But you leave out the fact that this stock went from 0.13 cents to $29."
it was 4 years ago...and when a stock drops from 29 bucks to 72 cents over the previous 4 years, its really irrelevant what it did 5 years ago...you cant trade the past...
" How did it get to $29?"
i was here when it did that...i made a ton of money because i understood it was rising on nothing but hype over biden's talk of pouring trillions of dollars into alternative energy...but as everyone should have known, the fed gov doesnt move fast...i posted back then that there would be very little of that money dispensed for years to come...to me that meant that the hype would stop and then would come the drop...
i bought at around 4 bucks per share and sold in the mid 20's....didnt catch the bottom and didnt sell the high...but still made a ton of money...and when the drop started, i made money shorting the stock...but i just sold short and covered every so often...didnt make near as much money shorting but it was decent...
and i have traded fcel many times since...i have posted when i bought and sold many times...they werent all profitable...i got fooled a few times...it happens...
"All similar stocks went down with the Fed tightening of interest rates."
you keep wanting to relate everything to interest rates...the climb to 29 and the drop to 73 cents has nothing to do with interest rates...its just really crappy performance by the company...
Is that what is happening here? If we are trading 40-60 million shares a day it implies that someone is buying, including yours truly, at bargain prices. If institutional investors are not buying it seems retail investors are. If retailers hold wouldn't that help drive up the price?
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…
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.
