10 Clean Energy Stocks For 2013: April Update [View article]
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.
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.

Since you like e-bikes, you should consider Accell Group (ACCEL.AS.) They own Currie Technologies (mentioned in your article) and are the leader in European e-bikes, a market that is much better developed than our own. Like New Flyer, they have a healthy dividend.

An attitude that's too rare on the internet. I frankly am surprised I have not gotten more than the one attack (via email) for this so far... but then I have not checked the Kandi message board,

Nothing wrong with feeling good about a short term profit, so long as you don't let it cloud your judgement.
I started buying at 10, kept increasing my position down to 6, sold some calls at 10, and then got out at 8. I was down for a long time, then up a lot, and broke even when I sold - except for a little profit on the calls. Now I'm down a little on my (small) short. You're up a little on your long. Good luck.
I wrote this article as a mea-culpa, not a self congratulation. I wanted to help people I'd misled into investing in XIDE with this article: http://onforb.es/Z6qwb7 to get out when I realized my mistake: http://onforb.es/13xKGeB
I was actually wrong for a little over two weeks. The first article was published on Apr 9th, and this one was first published on April 25th.
Like most investors, I'm wrong almost as often as I'm right. The difference with me is that I admit my mistakes in a public forum. Admitting mistakes is the best way I know of to ensure that I learn from them. You should try it.

Just got this correction from Jason Bak via Tweet on the timeline:
Q2/13: $9.3MM on shrhldr approval, Q4/13: ~$9.4MM Cloosh Valley from @sseplc, plan H2/14: ~$19MM balance
In other words, they expect Tumbler Ridge and Miekle to close in the second half of 2014 - I thought Tumbler might close in 2013, but apparently these two are a package deal.
The first two payments, expected in 2013, should be enough to cover Finavera's outstanding liabilities.

The $0.41 should be achieved in stages as Finavera passes the following milestones: June: ratification of the agreement with Pattern, and debt forgiveness. H2 '13: Payment for Tumbler Ridge Q4 ' 13: Payment for Cloosh 2014: Payment for Meikle late 2014: Shareholder vote on use of funds (possibly returned to shareholders? Merger with another RE developer to achieve scale?)
Of course, timelines have a tendency to slip, as we just saw. That might lead to additional expenses, eating up some of the proceeds, meaning $0.41 might never be achieved.
Could it go beyond $.41? Yes, if the proceeds of these transactions are invested profitably. They will achieve a 10x return on investment on Cloosh if they close this year, and wind prospects are very cheap right now.
Or if the election in BC removes some of the obstacles to Wildmare and Bullmoose.
Spoke to him yesterday. He told me there would be a financing update "soon." Also, a month or so ago, he told me that they had extended the low interest period on the bridge loan.
