$FCEL has produced 17.5 TWh since 2003 vs $BE 22 TWh. Inspite of having about 100MW of capacity vs 1.4GW for Bloom I think the promise of deployment would continue to rerate this stock x.com/hiteshkar/stat…












I ran the numbers on renting and investing the difference vs. buying a home... The results are shocking. The setup: - Median U.S. home sale price: $398,000 (NAR, 2026) - Average U.S. rent: $2,000/mo (Zillow, 2026) - Mortgage rate: 6.51% (30yr fixed, 10% down) All in monthly cost of owning that home: - P&I: $2,266 - Property tax: $332 - Insurance: $215 - Maintenance: $332 - PMI: $149 - Total: $3,294/mo Renting cost: - Rent: $2,000 - Renters insurance: $14 - Total: $2,014/mo The renter saves $1,280/mo. Plus the $51,740 in down payment and closing costs never leaves their pocket. All of it goes into $VOO. Using the long term S&P 500 avg return of 10% and home appreciation of 3.4%/yr (the avg since 1891): After 10 years: - Renter portfolio: $334K - Home equity (net of selling costs): $219K - Renter wins by $115K After 20 years: - Renter portfolio: $927K - Home equity: $531K - Renter wins by $397K After 30 years: - Renter portfolio: $2.41M - Home equity: $1.02M - Renter wins by $1.39M Even if you give the home 5% annual appreciation, the renter still wins at every single checkpoint. At $VOO's actual historical return of 13.99%, the renter's portfolio hits $6.38M after 30 years. The home equity is still $1.02M. The part nobody talks about: after 30 years your rent is $5,614/mo. Sounds scary. But your portfolio is generating $20K+/mo at a 10% return. You could pay that rent 3x over and never touch the principal. A home is a place to live. $VOO and the stock market is a wealth building machine. Not financial advice. There are lots of variables I may be missing. Run your own numbers.







$FLNC $EOSE There is a much better energy storage play out there. The risk and reward is much better. I shared it in my substack 10 days ago. It's up 10-15% in this very pessimistic market since then. The Price action seems very bullish and I should probably a deeper dive
