A couple years ago I had bought a stock for a company that makes fuel cells for hybrid vehicles... I bought it at $9.50. It tanked not long after, as low as something like $3.00 a share. But the good news is that it has recovered and closed today at $9.55! Woo Hoo! Looking at aftermarket figures it looks like it is going to go up some more... I have considered selling it if it hits $10 a share, but something tells me that with renewed interest in Alternate Fuel vehicles and hybrids that it could continue to rise if I hang onto it... I dunno... I'll have to watch it and see what it does tomorrow.

I'd hold onto it for awhile... whne gas hits $4 a gallon like they are predicting this summer, people will start wising up and looking at alt-fuel vehicles.

I saw a deal on the news this morning that 60% of people polled said they would consider buying a hybrid, up from only 30% last year.

It's coming, and coming quick... I think if you sell now, you'll kick yourself later on.

My grandfather had a chance to buy into some new technology in the 50's called "Plastic". He didn't and continued to work his regualr job until he was 65, and then died a year later...

Which stock is it, if you don't mind me asking?

Ballard Power (BLDP) - When I originally bought it it was based off of a recommendation from one of my many investment magazines I read.

Hmmm... looks to be an interesting company... I'd just hang on to it... making $.55 a share isn't a whole lot... It will go up... might take some time, but it will.

Ya know one would think this industry would be taking off...however my brother who is an engineer was designing hybrid buses and vehicle for a company that just went out of business and laid everyone off.

Luckily he had already seen the dimise and found a better job.
