P.S. : Instead of being stuck in that way,anyone could have made around 20%/annum in the last 3 years. Which is far better than something like being on -50% after 1 year,-30% after the 2nd year and only after the 3rd year being flat 0% (no loss no profit)



If by 'good' you mean that it might be better than the average stock,then yes that could be true,but if by good you mean 'really good' (which would imply deep analysis) , then clearly no , Ballard's financials look terrible for the current price. right now it's more of a nice gamble 'it might go up..or not'
PLUG looks better,with good prospects for growth . Their financials are a little bit better than Ballard's even at this time,after having a bigger price increase over the year,which means that their financials were maybe 3x better than Ballard's somewhere in march,so,just by looking at a simple indicator like P/S you could have gotten a better stock and get even better results..
I must say that I find the market cap in related companies to be quite dumb.. for example Tesla's market cap is extremelly stupid considering that their revenue is just 20B$ with a very small profit rate.. the P/E is 1600+ (WOW) .. I can't see how anybody would buy this ,but obviously nobody would dare to short it(because of so much irrational thinking..so the best thing would be to avoid them)


It is totally reasonable if someone wants to point out that a particular market space may be overvalued or a leading company in a space has a bizarre P/E ration or low or negative eps, but GFY is pretty much the most ridiculous place in the world for you to demand people "keep it clean" in a thread about investing and finance.

Additionally, you have to invest in the world which exists, not the world you wish existed. Stocks do not precisely obey the indicators of income statements and balance sheets. If you get angry at valuation multiples, you might want to rethink whether stock investing is for you.
