CAPS Rating:
**

An energy technologies company, which offers an array of solutions based on two proprietary technologies: programmable power electronic converters and high temperature superconductor wires.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

It's hard to know who's going to excel in the tightly contested solar, wind, tidal, geotherm, etc. power generation markets. But they all share a need for power regulation, charge control, and high efficiency magnetics.

AMSC will probably supply these markets.

Many buyers will overwelm the group predicting underperformance as they are trying to drive price down in order to get in (Cramer et al), Can't do it.

Should I ever pick against Citron Research? Probably not
Should I blindly follow them ? Probably not
But In this case I agree whole heartedly

How many years should you invest in an unprotibale enterprise? They haven't been profitbale since cinception more than 8 years ago.

don't get suckered just because they are supposedly
"green"

these guys don't make "green" and arent' likely to and that's what counts in business

Massive buying on 8-May-2008 followed by 3 days of massive selling and then another 2 days of buying. I think overall during those days the bears and bulls equaled each other. But there is more potential to break on the upside as the stock has been on an uptrend for a long time. Other indicators like Stochastics is rising and not yet overbought so for technical investors that means there is still opportunity for buying.

Turner Investment Partners Inc added additional 76,900 (33.51 %) shares of American Superconductor Corp (AMSC), bringing their current holdings to 306,360 shares as shown by filings made public on 2008-05-09.

I have no idea why it was so high to begin with just looking at the valuations. Now with the citron research coming out this is destined to go down and go down HUGE. The trend line will break....It went up the stairs and it will go down the escalator.
