COMMENT

Volatile, but people love green energy. A name that people flock to in innovative energy. Was up 75% last year. It could move higher, driven by ESG sentiment, but at some point they have to deliver fundamentals. The stock has run ahead of itself.

DON'T BUY

He would not advocate owning it given the recent run up. We've seen excitement around hydrogen fuel cells. It runs up and then leaves investors disappointed. It ran up because they won a few contracts and last year a Chinese company took a 10% stake in them. They are still losing money. It is only worth half of where it is trading.

COMMENT

Be careful. Anything that's risen this parabolic, risks a similar fall.

COMMENT

He was bullish 20 years ago and it has ever manufactured itself. You go through periods like this where you get excitement. The world is serious about alternatives and batteries. There is no new news and so it could be pure momentum. He does not know where it is going. Be cautious about trading it here. Execution is measured in decades.

BUY

This is going to continue to be a story that will grow attraction. This is not his favourite way to play it. TSLA-N would be his preferred way to play it.

PARTIAL SELL

He's followed this since it's gone public. It's a company that has always been full of promise but has failed to deliver. It's once again full of promise with electric vehicles and such. However, the stock has lost money and has enormous downside risk. The price to book is 7.5x. He would not be buying more at these levels, and would sell half the position if you have it to take some profit.

COMMENT

Keep holding? Hydrogen fuel cell company. Fascinating company. Has done pretty well over the short term but was a lot higher in the early 2000s. At the time people thought hydrogen was going to replace combustion engines. Now everything is moving to electrification. The price is never going to go back to the 2000s level. If you bought it recently it could have room to run a little bit, as we are seeing ships, and trains and buses shifting to hydrogen fuel cells but certainly not seeing cars move in that direction.

COMMENT

He follows it. The whole clean energy / renewable energy has solid fundamental drivers. They should do well. But it is difficult to find a player out there. It is two steps forward and one step back.

DON'T BUY

This burned a lot of people who thought fuel cells tech were the future. Toyota has announced--and is bucking the trend--that it's embracing fuel cells. That said, he's concerned about Ballard which is involved in one specific technology, which can be hit or miss because technology changes so quickly. It's a safer bet under the GEX ETF.

DON'T BUY

A play on hydrogen fuel cells. Went heavy toward autos, and explosive growth just hasn’t come through. Sector has consolidated around lithium ion. Market is going with the best technology, and the cheapest, and that’s lithium ion. Worries about Ballard. Bigger opportunities for hydrogen are in larger transportation, like ships.

SELL

This stock rises like a phoenix out of the ashes every now and again. There is always the promise of hydrogen fuel cells but it is never realized. From a quantitative perspective, it has negative price momentum, poor stability and currently, poor valuation because it has no meaningful earnings. If the stock was less illiquid, he would short it. (Analysts’ price target is $6.28)

COMMENT

Historically there was a boatload of optimism in terms of the fuel cell technology. Over the long-term, the stock has really done not very much. BYD out of China, and others, have developed an electric bus. This is certainly worth keeping an eye on, given the recent strength.

DON'T BUY

This came down from 8X BV to almost a discount to Book, and then roared all the way back to 8X BV again and then fell back to 2X. It is all over the map. He still doesn’t see any earnings coming through, which makes the calculation of FMV very problematic. He would call this speculative, and wouldn’t be the kind of stock he would buy or recommend.

PARTIAL SELL

The chart shows a pretty nice return from July to now, with a nice base being built from early 2015. It is going to find resistance at around $4. This name is going to be really impacted by announcements/news. If you own and have a gain, he would consider taking half your gain off the table. Then if it got above $4 with momentum, then maybe you buy some more.

COMMENT

In almost 20 years they have not developed as a company. You get spikes and then disappointments. You could buy at pullbacks, but chasing breakouts has been bad in terms of returns. If you like the technology you buy into the pullbacks.
