Ballard Pwr Sys Inc New (NASDAQ:BLDP)

Closed and reopened to more accurately reflect my actual start price.

Actually in at $0.65, but still not a large part of my portfolio.

Still expect them to improve performance in the future, but still struggling to get there.

JMO and worth exactly what I am charging for it.

All Renewable forms of energy will outperform within the next 5 years.

its a buy

Ballard has the real-life experience with fuel cells in the field. As dollar-denominated oil prices increase, all alternative energy technologies are going to come of age.

The conventional clap trap about alternative energy technologies not being commercially viable is just that. BLDP will turn a profit this year, and its niche products are cheaper than conventional alternatives. Even though fuel cells will not be making their way in to cars anytime soon, they may be making their way in to fleet vehicles, forklifts, delivery vans, busses, and stationary co-generation devices soon. BLDP will turn a profit with these platforms in 2011. After they project profit in late Jan, resistance will be a t 4-5 level.

my lottery play

Very Low now and selling larger and larger orders for Fuel Cell generated buses and power plants

topsecret pick

I have been following this company for the past 20 years. It looks to me like all of their hard work Is about to pay off over the next few years. Buy some now to get your feet wet.and buy more on weakness. Undervalued,misunderstood,and shunned by the all of the doubters,this Is a great opportunity to start accumulating shares of this very well managed company. Third quarter earnings will be released tomorrow (10/28/2010),they should have some good things to say. Onward and upward... TS

technology innovation

demand driven

Bldp is no doubt about to explode. The fuel cell industry in general is behind them, far behind them, in advancing itself and all of us towards a future in which there is less, or no, reliance on petroleum for moving us forward.

Long-term speculative pick in the clean-tech sector. Fuel cells will become a part of the total energy solution (not THE part but a part).

1/19/2010:
Ballard Power, Dantherm, Danfoss invest to create fuel cell backup power systems capability (BLDP) 2.32 : Co announces that it has acquired a controlling interest in Denmark-based Dantherm Power, partnering with co-investors Danfoss A/S and Dantherm A/S. Dantherm Power develops clean energy backup power systems, utilizing Ballard's hydrogen fuel cell technology, for telecom equipment suppliers. The joint investment and partnering support from Ballard, Danfoss and Dantherm is expected to result in accelerated development of fuel cell backup power applications across Europe

Telecom is big biz in Europe and lots of money are spent on reliability. Fuel cell backup power makes just sense now for this kind of applications and soon it will explode in a big business.

Discalimer:
I own shares of this company and several others in the fuel cell industry (hydrogen)

its time

I think that now, 2 years after divesting their automotive fuel cell strategy, this company can finally focus
on providing what customers want now. Back-up power for Telcom's, especially overseas, is a billion $
market and Ballard has the network built ready to sell into that market. Battery powered forklifts and cleaning
machines is also a huge replacement/upgrade market and they have a competitive product ready to go.
The day's of field trials are coming to an end and commericial orders are on the way. After 20 years, its
time to show something. This could be a nice mover higher in 2010.

Going down.
Terrible financials.

Energy are cheap again, whats will happens next ?
Fuel is the best combustible but we need to preserved it for more useful things (plastic and other chemical).
Electric car is too expensive, and have bug when it's too cold or hot ! and not enough power for bigger truck.
Hydrogen is the next generation combustible. Yes it's dangerous and very difficult to use. I think Ballard is serious and have enough experience to be one of the best in this future market.

After health care will come hydrogen push. May take a year to pull up, but when it does it will be hard and fast.
