no spamming pleaze

Briggs, I hope you are right...should I buy at $1.30 or should I just buy period?

Posted by Silverfuel:

Man, its dropped to $1.27 right now. I\'m going to go in @ 1.20, is this possible?

I have 38,500 shares between 120-130 I dont look at two cent drops:)

Fort Collins to install hydrogen, hythane fuel pump
City moves forward in attempts to reduce air pollution problems

Fort Collins is merging onto a national highway that one day will be entirely dominated by hydrogen-powered cars, U.S. energy officials say.
Within the next few months, Fort Collins will host the only hydrogen and hythane fuel pump in the state at the south Transfort fueling station. The pump will provide hydrogen and hythane, a mixture of hydrogen and compressed natural gas, or CNG, to compatible city vehicles. The city has one bus that can run on CNG, and three or four more are on the way next year.
Because any CNG vehicle can run on hythane, most city vehicles will overlook the hydrogen pump at first.
\"We hope as more pure hydrogen vehicles become available, (we can) fuel those (at the south station),\" said Gary Schroeder, energy services engineer at Fort Collins Utilities.
One of the most abundant and simplest elements, hydrogen is a clean-burning, renewable fuel. Its byproduct is water and it does not release any emissions.
Hythane, with 15 percent hydrogen, reduces emissions 40 to 50 percent, Schroeder said.
But energy officials are saying hydrogen is the answer for clean, efficient fuel.
\"It\'s very easy to show that we can power the entire transportation of the United States on hydrogen,\" said John Turner, principal scientist for the Hydrogen Technologies and Systems Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden.
A hydrogen economy also would keep the energy supply here in the United States, reducing the nation\'s independence on foreign oil.
\"One of the obvious benefits of hydrogen is that we can make it locally,\" Turner said. \"It\'s expensive, but all you need for hydrogen is sunshine, wind and water, and that we have an abundance of, except for maybe water.\"
Most commonly produced from reforming natural gas, the U.S. Department of Energy hopes the hydrogen economy will switch to harvesting hydrogen from other sources, such as splitting water.
\"(Hydrogen from natural gas) is good for early in the market, but we don\'t want to deal with a volatile fuel,\" said JoAnn Milliken, manager of the Department of Energy\'s hydrogen program. \"Natural gas in the reforming process emits (carbon dioxide).\"
The Fort Collins hydrogen pump will produce hydrogen by splitting water molecules with an electrolyzer.
Hydrogen, whatever its origin, is highly efficient in addition to being clean.
It is the optimum fuel for fuel cells, one of the most energy-efficient forms of power production, Milliken said.
\"Fuel cells can distribute power to remote places that may not be near the grid,\" Milliken said. \"There is an ability for fuel cells to meet the needs for so many applications.\"
Although the benefits of hydrogen seem promising, there are many obstacles keeping the energy source in its infancy.
One obstacle is cost. Fuel cells cost $110 per kilowatt, down from $275 per kilowatt in 2002, but the typical car needs 80 kilowatts to operate, Milliken said.
\"We want to get it down to $30 per kilowatt, and our target date for that rate is 2015,\" she said.
Another obstacle is infrastructure.
\"Hydrogen would require a large investment in an infrastructure. Then there has to be new vehicles,\" Turner said.

I swear to god I was thinking of the same thing all last night. BRIGGS, are you still recommending this as a buy? Would you buy at this price? kam, check your email.

But then again he is targeting $3-$5 next year- but not everyone is so patient when they see red.

No just an undergrad finance degree. Work in securitization, not equity research or trading or anything like that. But the important thing to remember with $1 stocks is that they are dirt cheap, and things that are dirt cheap are dirt cheap for a reason- its b/c that's what their worth. Now this stock could be unfairly beaten down or they could've chanced into something highly promising, but in all likelihood it would not be pushed down to $1 without major reasons.

Now remember, when your thinking about a move from $1 to $5 in the span of less than a year- you're talking about a 500% return in less than a year. That's as rare are is it gets Just because its $1 doesn't mean it can easily gain $4 here and there even though it doesn't seem like a lot.

But a guy like BRIGGS knows what he's doing (i've seen him post a couple good ones before), so he could be right and then you'd be in line for a small fortune. So far this one is moving backwards. I'd love to hear his take.

As far as investing advice, it really comes with experience and knowing what to look for- reading things like the Little Book of Value Investing I think are useful tools though.

All I need to know about stock investing is 'if you can lose your shirt, then fogedaboudit'.

I hear you man. I have taken some serious hits in the market. Legalized gambling is still gambling.

The longer the better, because there's less risk. The idea is to make two kinds of money. One kind is for the future and the other kind is the one that lets you 'live better now'. It's a part of your overall portfolio. Not to mention, six months of back up money at all times.

Take the advice of a billionair. Warren Buffet. One of the best speakers of investing I ever heard. I can litterly sit and listen to this guy for hours and hours. No nonsense, no bull****, straight to the point. You better damn well know what your investing in (if your lucky enough to know), and know the people, if possible, if you are going to invest. lol
