can be attributed to Citron Research's negative report. Andrew Left's Citron established a price target of $0.50 because the company has “no unique technology. No scalability. No demand. No brand equity. No media hype. No analyst support." “$PLUG Exaggerated selloff? More than likely,” said one user. “$PLUG Should bounce today..
