    Read Mukticat's comments above for what I consider the best explanation.

  • Rent This EV Stock And Enjoy The Ride, But Don't Keep It Too Long [View article]
    You could be right, but when I said "too soon" I meant days, not years. I just wished I'd sold at $8, not $5.50.

  • Rent This EV Stock And Enjoy The Ride, But Don't Keep It Too Long [View article]
    What other companies have I "promoted" in the past before I "fully investigated" them? All of them.

    I still have not "fully investigated" Kandi... I'm sure there are many things I don't know about the company, both good and bad.

    My process is to look enough into a company to decide I like it, and buy at that point. Once I own a stake, I continue doing research as time goes on, and I reverse my position if the balance of the evidence turns negative, or I increase my position if I find more to like. The writing itself is part of my investment process... putting my thoughts in words forces me to clarify them, as well as subject them to scrutiny by others. Often, my writing draws comments and email from current or past investors who know the stocks in question much better than I do myself, and that improves the quality of my understanding of the company.

    It's simply impossible to know everything about a company. My goal is to learn enough that I can discern if the market is overvaluing or undervaluing the stock.

    As for my followers, I'm not offering investment advice. All investors should do their own due diligence. If some rely solely on me, I'm flattered, but that is not my intent.

    All that said, any investors who relied solely on me regarding Kandi should have respectable returns to show for it, even if they got out too soon, as I did.

    The title derived from those later comments... I thought it was catchier than the first title ("Kandi Technologies: Weighing the Evidence.") But you can judge for yourself if you think I was trying to hide the fact this was a reprint by looking at the AltEnergyStocks version: http://bit.ly/14R3cgx

    I think that's an excellent summary. You're guessing a lot higher than I would, but I agree it's "anyone's guess."

    I have no opinion about that...Sure, Kandi could go to the moon if it continues to catch people's attention. That's what I meant by "Enjoy the ride" in the title of this article.

    Love me when I agree with you, insult me when I change my mind. An understandable, if unsophisticated reaction.

    Let's hope your unwavering and unqualified positive opinion of Kandi's Mr. Hu is a little more nuanced and accurate than your assessment of me.

    Art, as I've told you before, I republish my articles from Forbes on AltEnergyStocks.com 10 days after the original post because that is the soonest my agreement with Forbes allows republication. Seeking Alpha then picks them up from there.

    In this case I clearly labeled this article as a republication in the first line (which Seeking Alpha Editors chose to remove.)

    As for your baseless insults regarding my motivation and accuracy, a careful read of the last couple paragraphs of this article is sufficient to refute them.

    My Forbes articles show up on SA after 10-12 days. I don't currently write original articles for SA.

  • 10 Clean Energy Stocks For 2013: April Update [View article]
    I was surprised it was so low earlier in the year... my feeling that the recent move results from catching a tail wind from the rest of the clean energy sector.

    I think it's pretty fairly valued now, but I tend to hold dividend stocks until they are overvalued. I'd sell if it hit 50, and probably sell some at 45, at least in the near term.

    On Alterra, Beaty will have to offer enough to make small shareholders happy if he takes it private.... I'm hoping the stock rises so he won't have to. EDC just said they weregoing ahreas and taking a 70% stake in Alterra's Mariposa project in Chile, that should help the stock tomorrow. http://bit.ly/15lXHwO

    On PW, NSC won't buy them because the biggest liability will most likely lie with WLE. And f NSC offered to buy PW, people would think that NSC was scared of the lawsuit and demand even more.

  • Selling Exide [View article]
    I'm sorry you lost money on the stock, but I'm afraid that your initial investment was not due to my articles. I first wrote about XIDE in June 2012, when it was trading in the low $2 range.
