So you are long CLNE and WPRT and you are under water big time .
I am impressed with your investment acumen...
Do you have any other stocks I should short?
Diesel Prices are going DOWN; NG prices are going UP!
MARGINS ARE BEING SQUEEEEEEEZED !!!!!
You need to look at all of the numbers...
Who told us CLNE was a BUY at $8.00?
TESLA began under the same circumstances and market conditions...APOLOGISTA!
They were factors, but WPRT was a VANCOUVER PUMP & DUMP SCAM from the beginning.
Now that DEMERS has "gone", look for his PUMP & DUMP buddies to head for the exists, selling into any pump rally they can create.
WARNING: There are several serious NEGATIVES coming.
Good Questions! THERE IS NO PULL !
There is no (economic reason) demand from consumers, with gasoline and diesel roughly the same price as CNG, there is no economic payback. And if you love the environment, you are buying a Tesla, or Volt, or Bolt, or Leaf or Soul or Golf or BMW I-8 or I-3. Not a Honda, Ford, or Volvo that uses natural gas, A FOSSIL FUEL ! But even the electrics are not selling very well.
If you are a trucker, there is no economic payback at all.
WPRT's business model was never valid, which is why we are bouncing around ALL TIME LOWS... and heading to ZERO.
What is easy? Being right all the time?
-or-
Going to the bank every week? ChaChing !!!
Does that make WPRT a good investment?
You may want to raise your standards a bit.
MARGINS ??? What happens to MARGINS when oil prices go DOWN and natural gas prices go UP ???
Uh, OH !!
CLNE goes UNDER $3.00...AGAIN.
DEMERS IS STILL ON THE PAYROLL! OH BROTHER !!
They announce that DEMERS has "retired" effective immediately, and yet he is still on the payroll at $450 K !
DISINGENUOUS ... My brothers.
Fools and their money are easily parted..
What makes you think that this is a sound investment?
How many times do you have to be diluted before you figure it out?
Unless there is a MAJOR POSITIVE CATALYST, these guys are toast.
Motley Fool is always right...
So is Jason Hall.. just look at his track record...
He is worse than Cramer !
Several more heads need to roll, and some new horsepower needs to be brought in, if these guys are serious about saving the company, and improving shareholder value.
Otherwise this is just another Quantum, a dead man walking, with Cartesians holding all of the valuable bits.
True, short interest has fallen, and covering short options under $3.50 has been very rewarding.
But does a drop in short interest make this a good investment?
Did the shorts move on to another overvalued, bad company/stock/investment?
$2.05 gasoline; $2.05 diesel; $2.05 CNG in my town.
How long will it take me to recover my $12,000 conversion cost with these economics?
Revenues may be growing (slowly), but are MARGINS?
UH,OH !
NANCY? REALLY???
I am sure that Nancy is a nice person, but the BOD has just put another nail in the WPRT coffin.
This company has a sucking chest wound, and a band-aide is the last thing we need right now.
Removing DEMERS, might raise the IQ of the management team, but it is still the same group that we have had for the past few years. So just removing DEMERS is purely optics. We also need to remove the idiot who did the Cartesian deal (CFO), and bring in a team that has respect and credibility, something this company has been lacking for years.
New blood and new ideas are needed, and the BOD is too timid or too lazy or too stupid (or all of the above) to take the real steps necessary to save this company and increase shareholder value.
They need to grow a pair, or hire someone who has a pair, or WPRT is $0.00 in less than 12 months.
Someone ought to tally all of the "incentives" for NGV's, electric and other alt fuel vehicles, and see where the advantages lie.
The $4.5 Billion is for infrastructure build-out for electric charging stations. The Infrastructure build-out for CNG/LNG is slowing, further hampering the adoption of NGV's in North America.
$4.5 BILLION in Federal Dollars for electric charging stations!
$0.00 (ZERO DOLLARS) for NGV's or Natural Gas Fueling Stations.
Speaks volumes !
I know...it looks like the market was hoping for an OUTSIDER.
And it shows everyone how week the BOD is. They should have acted months ago.
DEMERS IS FIRED !!! AND THE SP WILL DOUBLE, BROTHER!
Too bad they couldn't bring in some serious talent to FIX this mess.
With the same team in place, we will continue the free-fall after the rally stalls.
Covering today, under $1.50, and I will be shorting again as soon as the honeymoon ends.
I am guessing that since we have fallen since the debt was retired, that the market does not like dilution (a definite) versus a chance of better times (a hope).
NO POSITIVE NEWS? OH BROTHER !
I guess it was a fool's rally...
Head Fake... Dead Cat Bounce !
No positive news means the free fall will continue...
ARE WE STILL UP 22% SINCE MAY?
A major move on NO NEWS !!!
Insiders always seems to make their moves a few days before the PR...
If there is good news, my guess is that DEMERS is leaving...if there is no news, then we will be heading south again soon.
I FEEL DILUTED !!!
I mean delighted!!!
And DOWN 50% for the year and DOWN 68% in 2 years !
"but this time it's different..."
NEW ALL TIME LOWS !!! OH, BROTHER !!!
SUB-$1.00's coming?
That is EXACTLY the same story as before...
Long Haul Trucks...Garbage Trucks.. Trains...Boats... it isn't happening..
The true believers like Waste Management have bought...not many others are drinking the cool-aide though.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE RATE OF GROWTH IS SLOWING !
This is just a niche business, with a weakening growth curve... THE PARTY IS OVER !
And DOWN 50% for the year and DOWN 68% in 2 years !
"but this time it's different..."
SUB-$1.00 is coming. !!
Unless oil spikes or there is a change in management, then this company is heading to zero.
WE MAY HAVE SEEN THE LOWS !!!
But that doesn't make this a good investment!
NOT REALLY !
If this was a great idea, the public would have embraced it more.
Unit sales continue to fall and the growth in the overall market continues to slow as well....
The party is definitely over, the easy sales and early adopters have bought and now it is more like onesy, twosey.
The Navigant Study is EVEN OLDER news than Jason Hall's pablum !!!
And NEITHER of these looked at the debt payment coming due...
And it is amazing that there is only ONE STUDY with a rosy forecast. If you invest based on the results of one study, you deserve to lose money.
And I could care less about Tesla, I am only focused on what a lousy company / investment CLNE is....
DILUTION ??? MAJOR DEBT PAYMENT is due in August..
Great article !!! It is called Motley Fool for a reason..
And the article is so out of date... it is laughable.. and so is Jason Hall.
Do you think anyone here was counting on those new station revenues..last quarter? This quarter??
Will we hear the quarterly refrain? "Things will be better next quarter.."
The rate of growth for NGV's continues to slow in North America...not a very healthy metric for CLNE.
OH BROTHER !!! $1.40's !!!
What a great company...
So much potential...
So much upside that it has gone from the $40's to the $1.40's.
The annual meeting was a joke!
What? They don't let Demers appear in public any longer? Why? Doesn't anybody trust him?
Receivership is next and Cartesian walks away with anything of value,,,
Where is SONE today?
IS EVERYBODY HAPPY????
We are in the $1.50's !!!
UH, OH....
You won't have to wait too long...
should be under $3.00 soon...
And then they will do something to destroy shareholder value again.
In Vancouver...
You should celebrate your investment is trading at $1.60+.
That means your investment is worth about $1.60 / share.
And this means one of two things.. they are pumping this thing like mad before the meeting... or ... they are leaking/telegraphing good news to some insiders... DEMERS is leaving?
PLAYED OUT...
CLNE is "PLAYED OUT"...we will see a small recovery today because oil prices are up, but it is $2-$3's until there is a serious, positive event.
SLOW, ORGANIC GROWTH and one-time events don't make this a sound investment.
