Rapid Transition to Grid Enabled Vehicles Not Possible or Desirable

John Peterson, I'm sure glad the rest of the world is ignoring you, especially the Chinese who know that electric vehicles are the future and are hard driving in that direction. The only people giving your ideas respect are your groupies on your posts, and maybe the conservative cult zombies that think there is no such thing as global warming because that would be giving into people, thus showing weakness (my bother-in-law is a arrogant conservative cult zombie).

I totally agree with GhostOfSpec, and I mostly agree with jerrydd.

I don't have time this time to pick apart your argument like I did when you misused the Gartner chart. But, that's what you depend on to make your points - slinging so much mud that you run your opponents off their feet. It's a huge job to pick through all the rubbish you post and show the flaws. When I did that you when you misinterpreted the Gartner chart, you just kept countering my arguments with indirect comments that I had to then counter. Ultimately, you never did directly address my argument though I badgered you to do so. You just accused me of technical nitpicking.

You are a master lawyer, John. You are a master cherry-picker and debater. You can argue any side of an argument. Right now, slamming electric vehicles is economically beneficial to you, so that's what you argue.

Rapid Transition to Grid Enabled Vehicles Not Possible or Desirable

Mayascribe, You are reading way too much into the run-up and subsequent pull-back of A123 stock after the IPO. This has more to do with the dynamics of how stocks normally react after IPOs than it is a verdict on the future of A123 as a company. You obviously know very little about stock investing. Often, in the short term stocks move to forces that are totally unrelated to the performance and future of a company.

Are you one of those guys that stare at stock prices all day trying to divine the meaning out of every move? I believe that Warren Buffet is right in ignoring short term moments in stock, and especially now where it seems that very few people care about where a stock is going more than 12 months out. Everybody is under huge pressure to perform in the next couple of quarters or get axed. IPOs are a good way for insider, big-boys to make a quick profit.
