Plug Power, Inc. (PLUG)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company and its subsidiaries is a development stage enterprise involved in the design, development and manufacture of on-site energy systems for energy consumers worldwide.

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.

Someone in a leadership positon must stand up and demand we end our dependence on forgien oil importation (and funding our enemies). We need a Manhatten Project/ man on the moon style challange, gathering our best minds, to make this happen NOW! Hydrogen is the obvious fuel to replace oil. Inexpensi...More

I love the idea of fuel cells, and own the stock, but it won't catch fire for awhile.

Hydrogen cars are starting to roll out. If they take hold of market share this company should jump into the black.

"The Company and its subsidiaries is a development stage enterprise involved in the design, development and manufacture of on-site energy systems for energy consumers worldwide."

-- The keyword is "Development", while i know little of the company, i don't spend my money *betting* on the next big thing... if you think about it, most next big things are usually found by luck.

of 8606 randomly picked IPOs from 1968 - 2006, 79% did not beat the S&P, almost half underperformed by more than 10%... such a shame (Ref. Jeremy Siegel "Stocks for the long run)

so first off, PLUG was IPOd in 2000, since then, its done nothing but slide. yet this company is a "developer" of some gadget. From a hype of 100 to 2.39 you lost nearly 98%.... i wonder why.

-- the "operating" margin is -444% by yahoo.

-- no net income from at least 05

-- negative cash flow averaged over the past 3 years

good, atleast they are spending money on something.


BTW, hydrogen is not a cheap to make, and these fuel cells are not cheap either (in the millions i think)... do you think hydrogen is the "wave of the future"... maybe in +50 years

but there sure is alot of hype:

I must ask these questions after i saw this on the news one day:
How much water do you need, anything special like purity/ quality of the water?

How much electricity does it use to produce the gas, how much is this going to add on to my electric bill?

how much hydrogen gas does your car need? or a fuel cell use?

Whats the life span of this machine and how much does it cost? of a fuel cell?

What are some of the dangers of this equipment? (high voltage? explosive?)
