Q: What is your overview of this chronically under whelming company. Will mobile hydrogen always remain the "next big power source of the future". Ballard BLD always seems to have contracts and news releases but never moves much.
Thank you

Q: I'm confused by Tucows. When the markets were going down, this one was going up. Today, in an up-market, it's down. Any thoughts on why it trades opposite to the markets?

Q: My question is about "peak auto". I have not yet read any reliable source that shows auto sales heading for a slump. In your experience, have you seen "cheap" large caps like Magna fall 40% based on a "guess" that was repeated enough times in the media to convince everyone, a guess that ended up being wrong? It's hard to believe all this selling is based only on a guess about a "top". I am not seeing XTC or LNR executives buy their stock. At 6.5 times earnings, you'd think they would buy if they their EPS was projected to be maintained over the next 3 quarters!
