Ida Tech

(IDA)

I have no idea why I think this... but Ida Tech is a part of an Idaho power company, IdaCorp (IDA) , that may be into fuel cells.... and could have Bill Gates as an investor. I have found many links that say Bill Gates bought 5% stake in Avista Labs....

and recent news on Hoku suggests idacorp' s know how has something to do with Hoku's recent upgrades. Personal note: HOKU is pure spec and unless you are a gambling man...

The safer Fuelcell investor:
Idacorp provides electric power and has a dividend you could count on...plus the stock has been around $30 for five years....dividends (+/- .30 ) provide a positive yeild compared to other fuel cell companies...
I guess if you watched Jim Cramer on Mad Money (CNBC) a week ago, when HOKU was $8 and Cramer said not to buy over the closing price that day, the recent $12 is a respectable gain.......but long term?
