Boards are a place for information exchange
not simply to pump a particular stock just because I happen to own it. If I'm coming here to get information I am at least willing to put in time and effort to bring something meaningful to the board. Hours of work researching the internet go into every post to make sure the information is accurate. (OK LM$20AO didn't get hours of research.)
The better people understand what is driving the stock price the more profitable they can be in their investing.
If you got the impression that I'm REALLY skeptical on PLUG in the long term with their current management team your right. If you got the impression that I have lost money because Andy can't keep a commitment for 4 weeks your right...and I'm sure I wasn't the first and that I won't be the last. There is a trail of pie-in-the-sky guidance with promises of Q4 EBIDTA profit every year going back several years now.
This is a company with a lot of problems and a lot of baggage that has resulted in more money going out the door in law suit settlements ($5M insider trading, $3M and counting on Soroof after promising deliveries of vapourware product and coming up empty) than they have ever made in profits. Paul Middleton said in the January business update that the Soroof settlement would effect the Q4 results.
The only reason I'm holding it right now is the potential for a significant rise IF and WHEN new deals are announced.
At this point I think it is in PLUGs interest to keep the new client names bottled up to perpetuate investor buzz and keep more investors away from the exits - it is simply beyond the realm of belief that EVERY time the company signs a significant deal (Walmart, Ace Hardware, SouthernLinc, Home Depot?, Nike?...) that the customer name is witheld from the shareholders.
Investors would be much more comfortable with PLUG long term if there was any significant improvement in the way they are being treated. There have been relatively few plays from the bad company playbook that we have not been subjected to - we've had insider trading, repeated dilutions, and now apparently witholding of relevant information. As shareholders we're getting played...
I don't consider posting the truth about PLUG on this board to be either bashing or sniping. If I've posted incorrect information please post to the board saying so.
I don't come to the board for to be constantly reassured that PLUG is the best investment on the face of the planet, I come to learn from everyone who posts here and to give back when I can.
But if it makes you feel better I also hope PLUG goes up, so...
