I'm out taking my money to the bank

[Jack_Bolander]

A New CEO. Meh

[Jack_Bolander]

TAX LOSS SELLING !

This is a great way to get some value from your WORSTPORT shares.

Now the good news : The LOWER WORSTPORT goes, the more you can write off.

So all of your fellow longs and all of the shorts are pushing WORSTPORT Down.

I think it is so nice when the interests of both Shorts and Longs are aligned !

[Jack_Bolander]

Can you imagine what the headhunters are hearing?

" We think you would be a good fit to be the CEO of WORSTPORT, are you interested...?

Laughter .... Click ....

[Jack_Bolander]

IT'S TOO LATE ! NO ONE CAN SAVE WORSTPORT !
The only thing left to do is hire an outside team to evaluate "Strategic Options", which really means, "Find us a buyer and try to get as much as possible. " !
Any plan that deviates from the simple strategy above WILL FAIL.
This is the only option WORSTPORT has left.

[Jack_Bolander]

The next Q will be a disaster! They will take out all of the trash and bad news and blame it all on DJ.

The new guy gets a clean slate.

WORSTPORT did the same thing when Nancy was Fired

[Jack_Bolander]

The Volvo LOI is NOT a BIG Deal !

Guys, this is Lousy WORSTPORT ! WORSTPORT can't do BIG Deals because nothing about WORSTPORT is big !
This is just a supply deal between the buyer and vendor, with the buyer taking an ownership interest (JV) in the vendor ... for pennies on the Dollar.
Barry, Robert & Mark, have you even tried crunching the numbers ? If you had, you would be in hiding right now and not opening your BIG Mouths. You are displaying your ignorance to us all.

WORSTPORT is a small, struggling auto-parts company, and they have just sold their soul again to a big truck company. Did you learn NOTHING from the Cummins JV ?

You got skruud by Cummins ( and the management helped), and you will be skruud again!

Look at my post history here for the past 10+ years, I have never been wrong, right Mark?

[Jack_Bolander]

Like Cummins, Volvo brings the gravitas and credibility that WORSTPORT Lacks.

But WORSTPORT remains a struggling, niche auto parts supplier. One recall would wipe out WORSTPORT, but not Volvo.

If the LOI doesn't become a real deal, then I don't see WPRT being much more than a small, struggling niche auto parts supplier worth about $1.00 / share.

[Penny chatter]

Major positive? They got you!

[Jack_Bolander]

Penny - I stated here years ago that it would take a Major Positive Catalyst to reverse the trend at WORSTPORT. The Volvo deal is a major positive catalyst.

[Penny chatter]

Jack the bull.

[Jack_Bolander]

Kudos to WORSTPORT !
I wonder why VOLVO just didn't acquire the entire MESS ?
I think VOLVO is following CUMMINS' Lead. Just take what you need for pennies on the dollar and walk away.

[Penny chatter]

Oh no bolander

[Penny chatter]

Yeah lol

[Jack_Bolander]

WORSTPORT really is dead money. There is so little upside potential, and no real deals in years.

And anyone waiting for hydrogen should wait before buying.

WORSTPORT will be long gone before there is a hydrogen ICE business.

NGVS are a small niche business. WORSTPORT needs to end their delusions of grandeur, and right size for the business they have.

The $100 million LIE will be used as evidence in the shareholders suits

[Jack_Bolander]

And anyone pumping this pturd is not your friend. They are telling you what you want to hear, which is not the truth.

[Penny chatter]

Markets crash crashing save us hydrogen

[Penny chatter]

Next week my guy. There it goes!!

[Jack_Bolander]

Not in your lifetime.

[Penny chatter]

One million is a ton especially with bam of Russian oil. We will need another source of energy and hydrogen will be a place to look

[Jack_Bolander]

Penny - The Saudi's have cut back Zero gas!

And the Saudi's have only cut 1 million barrels per day of crude oil.

Not ONE MAJOR OIL COMPANY, will have a wide spread roll out of hydrogen.

They all know the numbers. You don't even know the difference between oil and Gas.

[Penny chatter]

You think this won't be a focus now saudi cut back on export of gas?

[Jack_Bolander]

Penny - Did you see the word "Research" in the title ? Not a product ! Not a business ! A Research Project. Another Science Fair Project.

Where are the hydrogen stations? One reason NGV's are such a FAILURE is that there are not enough stations.

And when you can find a Hydrogen station, Hydrogen Costs 5 TIMES more than diesel and 6 TIMES more than RNG !

No one wants a vehicle that uses expensive hydrogen and still pollutes. A solution the a problem that doesn't exist. NGV's are a total failure, and Hydrogen ICE's are 5 TIMES Worse.

[Penny chatter]

Do some research my friend. Hydrogen powered!!

[Penny chatter]

Jack be nimble Westport is making strides.

[Jack_Bolander]

We are seeing a run up ( The PUMP), and then WORSTPORT announces a Capital Raise (The DUMP).

Google : "Vancouver PUMP & DUMP" for several articles which support this thesis.

[Penny chatter]

But not every red is long

[Penny chatter]

You're still here calling pump and dump? Lol

[Jack_Bolander]

Call me a skeptic, but I am guessing that RBC will have a role in WORSTPORT's next SECONDARY !

It's called PUMP & DUMP.

[Jack_Bolander]

WORSTPORT will be going down like a prom dress.

[Jack_Bolander]

HURRY ! Today is your last chance to buy WORSTPORT for under $1.00 !

At least until the Fall.

[Jack_Bolander]

If you want to make money in WORSTPORT,

SHORT WORSTPORT the day after the Reverse Split.

[Jack_Bolander]

In just a few days WORSTPORT will be announcing that are no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq rules for listed companies. This will be another NEGATIVE Impact on the share price.

Have a Nice Day.

[Jack_Bolander]

People have been flogging this DEAD HORSE for more than a decade. After 20 years this pturd is STILL UNDER $1.00. There is NO UPSIDE. There is a Tiny Niche market for NGV's and that's it.

Natural gas at $2.00 and oil at $100, and WORSTPORT couldn't break even.

WORSTPORT's business model is a Failure.

[Jack_Bolander]

FIRE THE CEO !

If we FIRE DJ, the share price goes above $1.00 and there is no need for a Reverse Split.

Several Problems (Leadership, Credibility, Share Price, Delisting) ALL Solved in one move.

[Jack_Bolander]

Do you hold Common Shares ? Does Kevin Douglas hold Common Shares? Do you even know what you are talking about ?
A BIG CASH INFUSION ??? From where ?
Selling MORE SHARES?
If you are LONG now that means you get DILUTED TEN TIMES MORE !
Kevin Douglas' Investment is protected. You and every other clueless LONG are NOT.
You are doing investors a great disservice with you PUMPING Posts

[Jack_Bolander]

Has everyone read the new WORSTPORT Senior Management plans for reducing costs, and increasing revenues and margins?
Any company as bad as WORSTPORT, that doesn't have a solid plan going forward, needs to Clean House tomorrow.
Listen to the call. There is NO plan, and the analysts heard that.
Look out below.

[Jack_Bolander]

REVERSE SPLITS ARE TOXIC !

[jammy32]

Thanks

[Jack_Bolander]

Don't Worry. At the upcoming Annual Meeting we will be electing a new BOD and management team. It's time for the shareholders to take control ! Duggy are you with us?

[Jack_Bolander]

Every Long is RED

[Jack_Bolander]

Great article, saying what many have been stating for years.

[price_and_volume]

Whistling past the graveyard?

good, quick read:

https://ipocandy.substack.com/p/westport-whistles-into-the-graveyard?

[Penny chatter]

There he is

[Jack_Bolander]

A New Shelf ! OUCH !
More Debt ? More Dilution ?

[Jack_Bolander]

In 2019 WPRT reported $305.5 Million in Revenues. None of the JV Revenues were reported in that number. The JV contribution appeared under "Income from investments accounted for by the equity method" and totaled $26.7 million. So in 3 years, sales have been flat ($305.5 vs $305.7). In 2019 Gross Margin was 22%. In 2022 it has dropped to 12%. EBITDA has dropped from a positive $28.4 million to a negative $17.5 million, a swing of $45.9 million. To offset the lost JV profit, sales would have to increase by $222.5 million at 12% Gross Margin.

This is why we call it, WORSTPORT.

[Jack_Bolander]

Earnings are a DISASTER !

[Jack_Bolander]

Expensive Nothing Burger

[Penny chatter]

Now now

[Jack_Bolander]

WORSTPORT is a struggling parts manufacturer. Still under a NASDAQ non-compliance notice and has been so since last year.
