A cautionary tail in investment. Basically, don't buy high and sell low.

I think it is more like don't buy it if you can't use it - because no one wants to pay what you paid for it.

They sold it, at less then they paid for it, that's why they lost money.

Maybe 15 years back City called Cheekdowaga (s) over by Buffalo dat had gas street lights still went Green happy. Famous Johnson Controls designed & built LED system wit solar collector on top each pole. System gonna keep earth cool like dey need dat over der, and no more gas bill for street lights. Johnson sure dey know what dey doin. Convince politicians and taxpayers. Green thing to do. Save gas to heat houses.
Seem nobody factor in Sun shines over in Cheekdowaga about 18 minutes a day in winter, if it shines. Battery in pole not get charged battery freezes. Even Greenies get pissed in de dark. Dey so pissed poles get falling down. Don't like de ugly blue light when lights do work.
Johnson blames Grote who made thusands of custom LED backup lights. Grote says dey work as ordered, fix solar crap. Tell genius engineer designed 43 volt LED to fix. Johnson got paid and hid out in basement like political candidate.
3 years in dark City puts in new sodium light system & sells LED junk at auction. Lost money on de auction too.

They don't have a way too store it so it has to be sold. They were under contract to buy so much at a certain price. BIG MISTAKE. Our town is an example of how not to go green. You would think the green energy companies would try to make things work for future customers but now lawyers are involved - more expense. If elected people and decide to go green their career will be cut short when voters have to foot the bill.

Sure just like if you bought Gamestop stock hoping for it to go lower, and instead went higher, you have to sell it at the price it is, not what you hoped it to be. I don't see what color you are painting these companies as, has anything to do with poor investment strategy. Ok, i think i get it now. You're thinking "green" companies are run by a bunch o smart people, so they should be smart in everything. Not my experience, but i think i get that broad brush concept.

The brush stoke is the greenies had a scam and our town got suckered in.
