Well positioned in a niche market. When demand picks back up this stock will take off again. And pays a decent dividend while you wait. Long term winner for your portfolio.

Air Products and Chemicals is THE MAJOR PLAYER worldwide for Hydrogen Technology and Fueling.
Hydrogen fuel cells are NON-polluting with distilled water being its by-product.
Many scientists believe Hydrogen fuel cells will become the source of electricity for heating/cooling our homes as well as the power source for automobiles.

APD already has Hydroden fueling stations in Maryland and California and even tested a Mobile Hydrogen Fueling Station last summer in a cross-country trial of Hydrogen Fuel Cell-powered cars.
