FuelCell Energy, Inc. (FCEL)

You people are crazy and obviously don't understand the first thing about the mechanics of what it takes to produce power via fuel cell. Fuel cells are outrageously expensive to build, and I'm not talking solar cell expensive, I mean stratospheric expensive. Fuel cells ARE NOT like solar, where they have been having large investments and new technological developments, like thin-film solar. I mean, look at their income statement, they are selling huge set ups for less than cost. If I need 1.4 MW of power, its not going to be from a multi-million dollar fuel cell rig, I'll just spend less than $100,000 for a diesel or natural gas burning generator. Fuel cells might have some real world applications- on mars, where there aren't any fossil fuels (presumably), but there is water, that can be split into hydrogen and oxygen by solar cells and recombined later by fuel cells to generate power. I don't see us going to mars anytime soon though.

Poor value compared to industry.

What a bunch of suckers.

Too soon for this technology, but it is coming. Some spikes will occur...

GREEN ENERGY! YES....What can be more high-tech than that! (rhetorical, so please don't bombard me with email). FCEL is a leader; no if's or but's here. However, can he establish some sale paterns? For that reason, I have to watch him like a halk watching his pray. If I don't have the time to do that, I will protect my gains with a long Put.

See you, FCEL, in your next shareholder meeting! Oh yes, I love to accumulate it at technically low buying points! Every trader should have a legacy stock in his/her portfolio.

1. The company has never reported positive earnings (at least in recent memory), the business has produced -$53.73 million in cash in the past four quarters, and the most recent quarter’s profit margin stood at -110.89%.

2. As interesting as fuel cells are, it will be at least several years before it is a source of energy worth producing and using. Someday, maybe, but it will take a lot of cash to keep this baby running for much longer.

3. The only thing keeping the company going is its string of share offerings to the public over the past few years.

time to start dropping again

this is a break out technology, that could take off like an apollo moon rocket in the next year. the applications are just astounding.

While alternative energy is in the cards for the future, fuel cells will be one of the last to be profitably employed.

If a fuel cell company can't cut it with the economy this strong, AND oil prices this high, AND all the talk about global warming, well...

0 pe ratio and we're getting dangerously close to the end of the DOW's absurd climb. People are running around like idiots buying stocks from companies that promise to build clean burning engines that run on tabouli. That's fine if you are just riding the stock price based on investor's temporary perception of value, but when the wheels fall off the DOW they are to be royally screwed.

Long-term underperform. There are better "green" picks out there. This one has poor management and negative earnings. Look elsewhere.

Wake me up if/when it's profitable.

Overvalued

Alternative energy stocks don't seem to have enough traction to succeed. Long term, I think this is one of the better alternative energy stocks out there, and I own a small position.

The Capital

In order they would have possibility to make profit they need to increase revenues

I got insider info

This alternative energy stuff is still too far off in the future to justify stocks trading at these types of valuations.

Even the experts think so - see my article:
